How often do you practice with your or any rifle?
At least once a month and I usually take a few out with me. Either on my bit of ground or at Bisley usually.
Would you like the opportunity to shoot more often?
Yes, always.
If so, what are the barriers that prevent the intention to practice from actually occurring?
Busy home life and a busy work life. I can generally get a half day on the weekend but if I go practice I cant always go stalking so I have to pick and choose.
Are you aware of sporting rifle practice events in your area?
Not really. Bisley publicise some events but I'd always be interested to hear of others.
What factors would put you off attending them if there were happening in your region?
Just time really, and to an extent what the event it. My main passion is the stalking so if I'm not doing that then I want whatever it is to be an interesting experience. I dont think I'd pass on a mornings stalking to go lie prone on a mat and shoot at a known distance very often, but if it was a simulated stalk shooting at steel reactive or driven targets or something then sure I would make time for it.
For me the thing thats really missing for sporting rifle shooters is simulated stalks, the ability to practice standing with sticks, kneeling, sat down or whatever, shooting at unknown distances and shooting at moving targets. If there was a club that provided all of that then I'd be all over it.
