I'd say provided what you're doing/filming is legal with regards to firearms law and also permission from those you are filming and land/ranges that you are filming on, then there should be no legal recourse, and you should not face the same issues as English Shooting. Always also keep in mind security, and avoid doing anything that would compromise the security of your equipment and that of others.

Well, we are filming the first 10 for the moment:

1. Introduction to target shooting
2. Rules of gun safety
3. Procedure and rules to obtaining a licence
4. How to zero a rifle
5. Gallery rifle
6. Full Bore target rifle
7. CSR
8. Practical mini rifle
9. Practical pistol
10. Moderator test

Then we have a series on air rifles, then another more detailed look at different competitions and then after that a series of equipment tests, ammo reviews and gun reviews.

The idea is very much aimed at the non shooter, to introduce the idea of target shooting, then the riles we have to follow and then all the different types of shooting.

The only one we are not doing in the first series is shotguns and thats only that we currently dont shoot them here thats all.

Sounds good, Are you hiring some one for the filming and production?

Keep them short and informative and plenty of good B-Roll!

This is brilliant help for someone that is considering taking up the sport , and good professional material will always be welcome, but I doubt it will attract new blood.
Let's face it, as a spectator sport, shooting is as dull as dish-water. Biathlon and IPSC, IMO, being the 2 exceptions.

I think we will be lucky as we are a new range as well, thus far we have introduced 22 new members to the sport, none of which have shot anything more than air rifle or shotguns. The average age of our membership (still sub 100 so not exactly huge) is 37 years.

I'd personally swap 6 and 8 around, assuming that by Fullbore Target Rifle you mean the heavy leather jacket jobbie. Only reason I saw this is that it's boring as a spectator sport. I know people enjoy it, however it's not the most exciting. Sandwich it inbetween minirifle and CSR, and I reckon you'd keep more interest in the series.

I'd also suggest a segment on PSG, one of the faster growing shooting sports.

This is the first series, very much introducing non shooters to the different types of guns and how they are used differently. We are keeping them sub 4-5mins too so don’t expect in depth on each discipline at this stage. Next series will hopefully go into more detail, some interviews and more colour. PSG will feature but in the next series mainly as there is already a lot of practical in this one but also because we aren’t shooting shotguns here t the moment.

Also, that’s not the program order but the shoot order, program order will likely change.
