    This is a sport that I'm looking to take up so I'm not up to speed with the internal politics but it's the reason I follow threads such as this.

    It just seems to me that this would have been a fantastic opportunity to improve the facilities available, and to improve the image of the sport in the eyes of the general public.

    The exact same reasons we get no legacy!
    More spin than a fucking twin tub but no legacy!

    Well, i take great pride in the fact I was one of the of those involved in fucking over the pro olympic cnuts who wanted us to hand over our range to the chosen ones for training. As i said to the now ex club secretary, 'tell the cnuts to train abroad'.

    That says more about you than about the Olympics.

    It does indeed. It says I'm a bitter cnut who first saw his right to use SLR's taken away on purely specious reasons with the active support and endorsement of the 'wooden gun' establishment, and then saw his handguns banned, yet again with the active support and endorsement if the 'wooden gun' establishment.
    Gault and the rest of the Uncle Toms have been happy to be used as the figleaf behind which the government hid to claim you can still do competive shooting in the UK.
    No fucking way was I going to support the cnuts swanking about with their special Sec 5 tickets in my range. If owning a handgun is only the prerogative of 'child killers' in the UK thanks to HO and cnuty Gov propaganda, then naturally I'm not going to support these sell outs.

    this...like, like, like, like...like!

    Until 1996, there used to be 2 NRAs in the UK: the National Rivers Authority which had nothing to do with shooting whatsoever, but everything to do with canal renovation, cleaning rivers and the like; at that date, it became something else, can't remember what. And then there was the National Rifle Association.

    The National Rivers Authority probably did more to defend shooting sports in this country...
