Going to make myself unpopular I think!
Having read the article in the latest BASC mag which extolls the virtues of laser shooting together with computer analysis shot-by-shot I wonder if they are not paving the way for the antis to succeed in banning all shooting sports.
Don't know if you are aware of this, but present-day military and airline pilots are (legally) trained partially on simulators. Drivers also in some countries and the H&S crew agree with and allow this.
My point is that our governments, whatever their political colour, are only interested in control by legislation or administrative action.
How difficult would it be in "modern" PC Britain, for the HSE to propose a ban on "real" shooting when the virtual alternative is being pushed by our "own" organisation. After all, there is real risk in our sport, because we do employ a projectile.
Yes - I am paranoid - but that doesn't mean they are not out to get me - or my sport!
I have hesitated to post this (thanks, paranoia) but would value comments.
