Caught in the Crossfire

A long time ago, when the blogosphere was a very different place and good people were still mainly relying upon the usual suspects for their news and commentary, I ran a protozoic online blog called FrontRank. It was about the shooting sports in the UK and all that which mainly meant passing commentary on government legislation and how it affected legitimate shooters and what us shooters could do about it by way of campaigning etc. Yes, yes, I know. It was an exercise in a hiding to nothing.

Well, some months back a couple of bloggers started whispering. What if, they wondered, we were to get together and start up a new blog? A blog about shooting and all that? Of course, having trodden this road before and having been exposed to the sheer will draining properties that speaking for an unpopular minority has I immediately agreed that it was a good idea and that we should proceed without delay onto the flat plains of despair that such an initiative would require us to walk (Ed: Get on with it and stop being so bloody miserable about it).

So a new group blog is born. My fellow travellers are Ian from An English Shooter’s blog and Mark from Gun Culture. It will in all likelihood be a slow burning blog but, frankly, one that needed to exist.

So, feel free to visit and link to Caught in the Crossfire. A blog about the shooting sports in the UK and the sportsmen and women caught in the crossfire between government legislation and a criminal element who are all too happy to ignore that legislation.
