Can't be bad for shooting either.

I was amazed to see it on BBC One!

They even went as far as saying "if you're watching and think you fancy a go search out your local club", you could almost call that promoting shooting.

Congratulations to Great Britain’s Nathan Hales for an outstanding performance to set a new Olympic record on his way to gold in the men’s trap competition at the Paris games.

The 28-year-old from Chatham in Kent, shot an Olympic record of 48 out of 50 to beat the silver medallist, Qi Ying of China, by four shots at the shooting venue in Chateauroux, France. Nathan’s win marked the first time GB have won an Olympic trap gold since 1968, when Bob Braithwaite topped the podium.

Nathan, who is world record holder in the discipline but was making his first ever appearance at the Olympics, broke down in tears on the podium as the national anthem played.
