Heard this afternoon on Radio 5 a positive piece on shooting (recovers from
faint and carries on).

They did a feature on two minority sports that did well in the Olympics,
Shooting and Canoeing. " Are minority sports going to increase in
popularity".

A reporter was sent to a shooting school in Shropshire, didn't catch the
name but it seemed to be a big one so should be obvious to those into
claybusting.
He went through a days introductory course and all was reported very
favourably, strong emphasis on the safety training and he seemed to enjoy
himself.
The only thing I would argue with was the cost breakdown if someone took the
sport up as presumably the shooting school is a commercial enterprise and by
joining a club you wouldn't necessarily be paying tuition fees. If its
anything like small bore used to be the club coaches are only to pleased to
have new members to work with.
 Also I'm not sure their statement that a shotgun will cost you between five
hundred to a thousand is correct. I know you can spend the GDP of a third
world country on a shotgun but I thought a reasonable example to start with
could be had for a bit less than that.
