From: "Matthew Wright", [EMAIL PROTECTED] There was a time when snooker was thought boring then it exploded onto the TV etc. It seems to me that clay pigeon has the potential to be developed in the same way. Another aspect of our sport that has great possibilities is gun dog trials, it has all

From: "Brian Toller", [EMAIL PROTECTED] If anyone is seriously going to suggest that shooting, any kind of shooting, on TV is less interesting than watching two "sportsmen" chucking darts at a board or the almost blanket coverage of Curling in the last winter Olympics then put me up as a

From: "Neil Roberts", [EMAIL PROTECTED] Having just watched yet another BBC round up of the Olympics (10.30PM Sunday). A brief mention that Ian Peel won Silver. Yet every other medal winner had an interview, some footage of their competition and a look at their gong. Compare this to the Sky

From: "Alex Hamilton", [EMAIL PROTECTED] Steve, I have heard today that St. Nicholas Club in Chislehurst, cancelled an Open Day Shoot and wrote to each entrant explaining that "they did not wish to be associated with plate shooting". I have to confess that, having shoot plates once, I found
