But anyone else feel free to chip in.

I've been asked to do a talk on the history of airguns to our local archive group, which is fine, I'm reasonably equipped for that. I anticipate however the thornier side of our sport is likely to come up in discussion at some point.

I'd like to be prepared with some facts and figures to support everything positive about it. How many airgun users there are in the UK? How many hft / ft / 10mtr / bell target / bench rest shooters there are. If I've missed out any other disciplines let me know.

Any interesting snippets which I could include.

Will also post this on the agf.

Cheers

Dave
