Take aim for National Shooting Week
Broomhills keen to encourage newcomers
Broomhills Shooting Ground is getting prepared to play its part in National Shooting Week.
From Saturday, May 23, to Sunday, May 31, more than 100 shooting schools and clubs across Britain will open their doors to the public to encourage people to give the sport a try.
Speaking about the initiative, which is in its third year, Brownhills' Phil Brown said: "Shooting is a very popular sport as more people shoot than take part in athletics, rugby and hockey.
"We're hoping that people from all walks of life will try shooting for the first time during the week."
The Government's minister for sport, Gerry Sutcliffe MP, echoed Brown's comments, saying: "National Shooting Week is an opportunity for the sport to show itself to the wider community in the UK.
"The week gives an opportunity for all the misconceptions about shooting to be put to one side, but it also gives people the chance to understand that this is a sport that can be for everybody."
To book a lesson at Broomhills, which is based in Markyate, call 01582 842280.
