I've been a target rifle shooter for nearly 40 years now and a nicer, saner bunch of folk, it's hard to imagine. Occassionally a prosopective member turns up in his camoflage/army type gear but it's soon made clear that this is not our image, and the "cowboys" never hang around long. I guess it's not exciting enough for them. Our oldest regular shooting member is 90 years of age

From my point of view, the rifle is a piece of sports equipment used as a test of skill, which at the ultimate is putting all your shots through a 15" bull of a 10' x 6' target from a distance of a thousand yards. On a windy day, being blown completely off the target is not uncommon. While we can't win much cash, we certainly have big prizes!
