  • It's great to see Airgun shooting reported so positively in the mainstream media. It's a shame pubs down South do not have bell target shooting. Perhaps a few pubs in the capital would be a good thing!

  • Hi there I have just seen Nigel Allen (Airugn TV's) post on Facebook and I thought I would let you know I am also sharing this clip. Well done Walton Lions and well done you for sharing it here.

  • Well done the Walton Lions - this must be the FIRST POSITIVE airgun story the BBC has run in ages! Congratulations on getting air rifle shooting promoted to the general public so well. A really balanced and enthusiastic report by BBC Midlands. I've posted it on Airgun Shooter and AirgunTV FaceBook and Twitter pages. (BTW, I had to chuckle at the way they introduced Jenny as the 'hottest' air rifle shot!) Nige
