We will be asked to vote for MPs - many of whom have already proved to be untrustworthy with their expenses claims. As always, there are rumours that if elected, the Tories may allow our Olympic squads to once more train at home with their own pistols. If MP’s want us to trust them – they must also trust us. Let’s hope that common sense prevails for once. The UK is well known throughout the world as having some of the toughest firearm laws and I had a chuckle recently when reading an American-based shooting forum. “How come if the Brits are so restricted in what they can shoot, they whupped our butts at the F Class World Championships?” How indeed! Maybe a few of those former pistol shooters have now become very competent riflemen – I’d like to think that something good came out of that knee-jerk legislation. This month, we have another bumper issue for you and you can read a splendid report on the 2009 World Field Target Air Rifle Championships in South Africa. Yes, we had a bunch of Brits shooting out there and guess what? Not only did England win the team event but a Brit, James Woodhead, is the new World Champion. What an achievement! A group of guys go out there, under their own funding and beat the world! Course you knew that didn’t you? It was all over the newspapers – no? The NRA Journal – no? Well, Target Shooter is proud to carry this report and we congratulate James and the rest of the guys for their magnificent achievement. If you’re a fullbore rifle shooter reading this and maybe thinking that air-rifle just doesn’t cut it – let me tell you that in my experience, a good field target shooter will hold his own in any fullbore rifle company. It’s all rifle shooting guys – let’s embrace it and celebrate it. Until next month. One last reminder - when looking at ads you can click on these to go directly to vendors websites to view products.
