An economic assessment of shooting in the UK, leaked to the BBC, suggests shooting contributes more £1.5bn ($3bn) to the economy, and provides the equivalent of 70,000 jobs.

It's a fair enough report when you consider all
the nonsense that oposition groups such as the
league for cruel sports come out with.
I am not against hunting or guns being used in
sport, and believe that shooting and fishing are
part of our national charachter and tradition
whatever groups like the league for cruel
sports say.
