Dekers Posted April 22, 2023 Report Share Posted April 22, 2023 There is no bar to people of any colour entering the shooting world in this country, but the simple fact is there are very few. Just because someone knows someone doesn't change that. I have been shooting at Bisley for over 50 years, and involved with Fieldwork for nearly that long, it has been mentioned several times over the years how few people of colour (or whatever term we are meant to use these days) seem to be involved in shooting. There are FAR more women to be seen than people of colour! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who live in cities are less likely to be involved in shooting by default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsh man Posted April 22, 2023 Report Share Posted April 22, 2023 Like many of the replies above , I have been in two wildfowling clubs non stop since 1964 and been involved in 100s of driven game days and not once have I ever seen a Black person wildfowling , or on any shoots , yes we have had a good number of teams come over from the E U over the years but all the years I drove the teams about I still didn't see a Black person shooting , they might well be out there and no doubt the day will come when one or even a team do turn up and we will welcome them with open arms but that still might be some time off.

Ultrastu Posted April 22, 2023 Report Share Posted April 22, 2023 Probably has something to do with the fact that the UK population is made up of only 4 % black people. 9.3 % Asian people. Taken form uk gov. And thats the government terminology . Not sure where this thread is going it seems to serve no purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully started a great thread that got hijacked along the way as so many do. It is GREAT to see footage of a female black wood pigeon shooter, Nicolle should be congratulated for the episode.
