MASTERCLASS: SHOOT FOR SUCCESS
National shooting organisation BASC has told the Government that shooting gets people active, reduces social isolation and promotes personal well-being, while encouraging engagement with the natural
environment. Of course, we all know this – but, as ever, the decision-makers have to have it spelled out in black and white before considering, let alone acknowledging, the far-ranging benefits of shooting sports.
BASC was responding to the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee
inquiry into the social impact of participation in culture and sport, and
went on to recommend that regional centres of excellence for shooting sports be developed across the UK so that talented shooters can be identified and coached in the most effective way. It’s a very fair suggestion given our nation’s track record for success in shooting sports, and one we vhope the Government will be bold enough to support.
