There are 2 things that make our position difficult. There are too many organisations who may broadly follow a similar path but argaulbly fall down on the specifics and perhaps focus too much on their specific discipline and not the bigger picture.
Organisations like BASC focus on the political and legal agendas but too many others dont and there is no single voice shouting loudly.
The other....is the general apathy of the shooting community as a whole. Too many think others will stand up and speak for them. The result is the voices dont carry the weight needed and the people we vote into power do not represent the desires of the shooting community.
I sadly do not see any signs that the organisations will ..... when needed.... pool resources and speak with one voice. Nor do I see that the mass of individual shooters whether it will air or powder....shotgun or rifleman.......target or sporting will ever stand up as one and speak there minds.
That doesnt mean we shouldnt speak or carry on saying...we just do not seem bright enough to put the differences to one side or acknowledge that a target shooter is just as much at risk of seeing their sport disappear down the crapper as a sporting hunter or indeed a fisherman....
We are finding it hard enough to relocate a shooting club and the intervention and assistance from some of the shooting organaisations and NGBs has (speaking personally) been pathetic.
And we let these people chip away at our sports and win their little victories. All I sadly see is grains of sand disappearing from the beach and soon there wont be any alsand at all.
Glad my cup is @ 50%.

To one shot one kill, you need to seek the S. Kill only comes from Skill
