I think I’ve just grown cynical in my old age. When I first joined a shooting organisation I was proud to stand up and be counted, but as more and more legislation has crept into my way of life I’ve become somewhat jaded in my opinion of them. On the other hand, if I’m honest, we would probably be in an even worse situation without them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shooting and other fieldsports related organisations are supposed to exist to represent and protect the interests of their membership...........not to maintain highly paid employment, expenses, luxury accommodation and other perks for their own employees! 500,000 people shouting at any one time resonates more than ten lots of 50,000 shouting at different times! In years to come many folk will ask why we were so split and why we were so blind to the obvious outcome of not coming together under one banner Also firmly believe that anyone who shoots should have insurance, this should be a stipulation, in the long run such legislation would benefit shooting.
