Sadly I think her involvement with clay shooting will have more of an impact with Joe public than the supremely brilliant George Digweed can hope to have.
Absolutely. Our Gold Medal winner here is unknown to the public. And you have a wannabe who wants to give it a go who is known by everyone and you bitch about it? Some of you really need to get out more. You pay more for the air that you breathe than you will pay for her shooting. What rot! I'm talking beyond clueless BS. If you had any sense you'd be having special fund raisers for her and the already team bound women. Give a hand instead of a boot. Who GAF if she has a chance or not?? Use it while it's there to be used. And if she likes the folks and falls out maybe she'd be inclined to help out herself. Are you people totally ignorant of manipulative publicity??Shooters complain when there is negativity about shooting in the media, and then people complain about something positive in the media about shooting.. there are some entrenched archaic attitudes held by certain shooters and officials that will never allow this sport to move forward in a positive way.
Now we know who shot himI have a signed photograph of JR Ewing if they want it for the Board Room?
I cannot see anything negative at all. I have made my posts clear that any publicity is good publicity.....but have kept 'reality' in 'my' posts.I cannot believe all the negative stuff on here.... Yes, she is probably massively unrealistic about the Olympics but having a famous person who is enthusiastic about shooting can only be a good thing for the sport.... Too many dinosaurs on here who are happy for the sport to stay a 'minority' and not progress....sad really.
Haha brilliant..!If you had any sense you'd be having special fund raisers for her and the already team bound women. Give a hand instead of a boot. Who GAF if she has a chance or not??

Now you are talking......!!Tv coverage is what the sport needs, even if only on a digital channel. We need to develop a form of clay shooting that is easy to film and exciting to watch. I would think clay shooting is a hard sport to film well, and because of the repetition isn't always exciting for the viewer.
My dad can remember a farmer round the corner from us called George Brocklesby (think he was a UT shooter) shooting against jackie stewart on the tv years ago. The sports needs to draw an audience.
Tend to agree clay shooting in general does not lend itself to being televised, but still am of the opinion that positive media coverage is needed rather than the rubbish that is usually spouted and by positive I do include this tv presenter saying to her couch audience that she is having a great time a step is taken in the right direction.It ain't gonna happen folks. Get real watching clay is not a spectator sport in fact even we find it boring to watch that's why no one stays to watch shoot offs. Anyway it was tried with star shot in the eighties. Accept it clay is not and never will be a spectator sport. End of.
