We are constantly urged to bring newcomers into shooting. The best way of garnering support for our sports is to share them with our friends and acquaintances. There is an easier, and more likely start to this process than waking them up hours before the crack of dawn on a freezing winter’s morning to travel to a far flung muddy field. We can simply dish up excellent, nutritious, chemical-free meals to our friends and explain that we have harvested some of Nature’s free-range bounty to provide it.
There will come a point, however, when someone who has sat back in comfort having enjoyed such a repast, who envies you your satisfaction of knowing that you have taken part in the pattern of nature as you ought, will suggest that you could introduce them to shooting.
