I see the BBC's coverage of the clay shooting is as poxy as ever!

Now if if we were swimmers another minority sport, well that's a different story all together.

Does the anti gun culture still exist inside the BBC?

Harry swimming has always been the banker event prior to trhe start of track and field.Clay shooting hardly sets the blood on fire as a spectator sport. However there is quite good online coverage. Don't think it has anything against shootin clays. The Beeb is not so much anti-shooting as much as we don't produce enough that is watchable. Until we do programmes will continue to post the steriotype.

Hope you enjoy. The red dust is effective,

I too remember Starshot - won by AJ Smith from memory. I love clayshooting, but as a TV show it was akin to the Potter's Wheel.

Probably am, but I never actually saw it at the time - just saw it in a later programme. Starshot was still poor. Shame really.

Jack Charlton did more for hunting, shooting and fishing in Jack's game.

Jack Charlton won the EUFA cup, League Championship and FA Cup, plus numerous caps for his country. I am surprised that you are having a dig at him. I presume you are not a football fan, as your lack of knowledge indicates.
