The new golf?

This is interesting; shooting seems to be becoming the new golf. A massive rise in popularity particularly with businessmen has seen the pheasant shoot, the grouse moor and the clay club being used as places to network and, you know, do business.

I wonder how true this all is. If it is true and the trend continues then this can only be good news for the sport. When big business gets behind something the insane shouting and posturing of those against that same thing usually fades into the insignificant. The frothing increases due to frustration but that’s about all.

Pro-shooting big business, anti-shooting pro-legislation dinosaurs, an anti-shooting media run by big business tycoons all mixed in with a generous dose of politicians all looking for their next power fix. What a mix.

I doubt it will have much affect in the short term but this might play out quite well for us shooters in the long term.
