How do we encourage new people into the sport ?

You are sounding more and more like a politician, selecting partial comments as indicated by your willingness to highlight only parts of my post rather than in its entirety, using it to be offended rather than take it in its entirety and then choosing to take it as a personal attack against you
My contention is that you are choosing to be personally offended
The act of being offended when no offense was intended is frequently described as a choice or personal reaction
Anyway this is becoming argumentative and bringing nothing to the thread
So I will leave it there and just for clarity I’m neither upset or offended, enjoy the rest of your day

I am not offended - sorry to disappoint you!

You seem to be back-pedalling and trying to blame me for your choice of wording!

Fortunately AGF has the Ignore button - Goodbye
 
I'd be very interested to know figures for 'rough' shooting as opposed to the organised club scene if there was a way to determine them, as my gut feeling is that there's still plenty of it going on. -Hear me out here. I've seen various articles published where data has been collected for the most popular or best selling air rifles, and hardly any of them are what you'd expect to see at a club shoot. Lots of lower priced springers and PCP's, very few of the higher end target models. So if they're not being bought to be used at a club they must be for home / social use. The fact that there seem to be more manafacturers now than 30-40 years ago would indicate the market is just going from strength to strength. Just look how many new scope models have launched in the last 6 months!
To my mind it would be good if we could cultivate the interest that's potentially already there and show people that there's a whole scene going on where they can develop and mix with more like minded people.
