Shooting boosts UK’s rural economy

A report by the South West Regional Development Agency in the United Kingdom has revealed that shooting boosts the rural economy by £1.6 million. Additionally, as reported in Express & Echo, shooting generates 2.7 million work days on conservation per year, the equivalent of 12,000 full-time jobs.

Great site, ssaa. Everything w.r.t shooting sports, licensing everything under the sun is there.

NRAI should learn from their counterparts.

Not sure how you got this impression.

There is a blanket handgun ban, admitted. But apart from that, the legal system/licensing is very fair while the shooting facilities/equipment/ammo are easy, approachable, and reasonably priced.

The one big difference I noted, apart from the obvious points above was in the nature of shooters. Unlike a lot of people in mera Bharat mahaan, there is no high and mighty coterie who stay aloof and discourage newbies.

Ask me how I know

Jefe/Prabhat,

The quote in UK does not apply to number of ammunition one can buy in a year.It simply applies to the ammunition one can buy each time for a particular firearm.There are no limits on the ammunition one can shoot in a year.

One can even buy a .50BMG if one can show a place to shoot it.

Maybe i didnt express myself well.
'Quota' means how much one can buy at a time. for. eg. if my quota is 600, i can buy 600, shoot it go back and buy it again. theoritically i could buy 1800+ in a day. (if i had the money and if my shoulder could take it)

Theoretically I hope you will using an autmatic to shoot 1800 cartridges in a day.
