NGB? Excuse my ignorance. Could be a good idea, just depends on the cost of transport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 NGB? Excuse my ignorance. Could be a good idea, just depends on the cost of transport. National governing body I am sure Brittish shooting would do all they could to accommodate a school party Oddjob perhaps even offer parking at the venue?

jinxy72 Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 ISSF website is saying its for shooters + families only … don't any sense stopping 'fans' from going as everyone wants to promote shooting a 'safe' sport and get away from the bad press Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallbore Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Sickening as it is for shooters who are interested in seeing shooting at levels that most of us will never achieve, LOCOG have stated that the Test Event is to test the shooting facilities and not the Spectator facilities. Additionally, most of us did not get tickets to the Olympic Shooting events in the 'Lottery' and will rely on National TV and the ISSF website videos posted on Youtube (ISSF Youtube Channel) to show us what happens at International Shooting competitions. From a financial viewpoint, the cost of ensuring a full compliment of support staff to cater for a few thousand spectators each day, may have outweighed the income from the tickets sold. The NSRA, BICTSF & NRA members were allowed to request the few remaining tickets. (I do find it interesting that the NRA members were allowed to request tickets, even though their members really do not compete in Olympic disciplines. Perhaps it was due to their full bore elements?) It is a lost opportunity for us all. Best regards to all Bob M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Erm there are tickets available through the NGB's (National governing Bodies) and possibly direct from Brittish Shooting if not an NGB member. I guess the thinking is who on earth would want to watch shooting who isn't a member of an NGB? I guess everyone with tickets to every event must be members of the NGB I mean who wants to watch people run in circles pointless or what!
