Gun clubs posting videos
Posted: Sat Jul 13, 2019 5:56 pm
I have a few clubs on my social media. One in particular regularly posts videos of their ROs shooting rapid fire on their range for no reason other than to just mag dump. Now I get it, social media drives business and lets make it look cool get customers through the door etc but its starting to really nag at me to the point where I don't think they are really representing the sport for what it really is.
If I was to turn up at their range and dump 10 rounds through my shotgun I am sure the RO would be all over me like a rash. I know my own club would certainly not approve of that many shots in such a short space.
Secondly, its only a matter of time before the media get hold of videos like this and your average MOP would be "outraged" in the way only daily mail readers can be.
But seriously, I appreciate at clubs need to do PR but I think this really is the wrong way to go about if for the rest of us given the stance HMG seem to be taking on firearms.
I would be very disappointed if these videos were used in future to show MPs that certain firearms were capable of such high ROF - "just for the gram".
Anyway, maybe I am getting old.
