To claim thatsomething is a sport implies that a large
number of people are participating. The fact that something
is shot in Switzerland or USA does not constitute a sport
here - I wish it did, but we have to be realistic.
Ah! And just how many people do synchronised swimming I
wonder and that's in the Olympics. Incidentally full bore
target rifle isn't so where does that leave your sport.
Alex your argument is total rubbish. Following your line of
thought no new shooting discipline would ever get off the
ground. Practical pistol, one of the greatest boosts the
shooting sports got in the '70s, certainly would never have
started.
Alex as far as interest is concerned I wouldn't miss the
Bisley type of full bore rifle shooting if it ceased to
exist tomorrow. However, I am prepared to do everything
in my power to make sure it doesn't because any type of
shooting sport is worth preserving. Could you show the
same sort of consideration please?
Too much has been compromised away already in the name of
being realistic, its time to be bloody minded.
