Professional football, tennis, motorsport, boxing etc on
TV does indeed attract a lot of couch potatoes, but
professional golf, snooker and darts clearly must be
encouraging more participation.
I think the general rule to be implied is that the more
the equipment costs and the more difficult and/or expensive
the facilities are to access the less people will get
actively involved. Bearing in mind that a lot of people
have gardens and that non-FAC airguns can be used across
the bedroom, even, I think that encouraging televising
shooting sports is an excellent idea.
Looking at the police helicopter video of the Rochdale
car-chase shooting case, doubtless everyone said "bad guns!"
and nobody said "bad cars!". Logically, they should have
been saying "bad men!", shouldn't they?
The general idea apart from encouraging participation is that
the shooting sports should receive favourable publicity and
lots of it and then eventually media logic will improve.
