If the Olympics committee are willing to do this to wrestling....how will shooting fair in the future sign85 I have concerns that if shooting was removed then all shooters here in the UK will find themselves in the crosshairs for the Government and anti's :run:

Probably swapping it for Latin American ballroom dancing, or Baton twirling.
Can't have violence now can we no, no, no, no, no someone might get hurt.
Not that the games originally tested war skills wtfwtf

Men's small-bore prone rifle will go, the other events are more international & cater for both male & female. So 3p SBR & air events should survive.

Actually I found BMX a lot more watch-abel than most shooting events & is the Olympics moving toward more TV suitable sports because of coverage & revenues?
Quality control of Scottish Ethanol. & RDX/HMX

& my fav chemical is :-) 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine.......... used to kill frogs.... but widely consumed & in vast quantities by the French? Eh?
