Oh my! And you're "pro shooting"....

As I've said many times. I retire in 12 1/2 years time, I do not see me whiling away my pension shooting and this is exactly why....
I get my job pension in 12 years, 4 months and 12 days - not that I am counting. My state pension age keeps going up - probably be 70+ by the time I catch up with it.

I too am not confident there will be a shooting sport in this country by then :cry:

I hate to rake over cold ashes, but since when has evidence and fact been that important to our Lords and Masters either in London or Brussels ? In case some have forgotten, we have lost:
unrestricted pump action and semi autos - both in full bore rifle and shotgun
all except muzzle loading handguns - as a result of which several clubs have gone to the wall.

What will be next ?

What do you mean by unrestricted pump and semi auto shotguns?

You can still get both provided the barrel is long enough...
