Do you know if there is any evidence from Wales or Scotland that changing the word "pigeon" to "target" has had any positive effect in either increased numbers taking up shooting clays or improvement in public perception of the sport?As I've already made clear, I think the name should change. It'll benefit the sport in the long run and better reflect what we do. I just want the governing body to get on with doing it, just like the Welsh and Scottish associations have.
I don't want hours of debate, members votes or more money spent. The sport has far more pressing concerns than this.
I'm 36 and just started shooting last year but I knew what a clay pigeon was since I was a toddler. Regardless of what the CPSA wants to call its self, it wont change the name of the sport, it's always going to be clay pigeon shooting, at least for as long as most of us are alive.
