Although I am relatively new to shooting and have no chance of getting anywhere near the money, I'm definitely up for this next year.
I go shooting because I enjoy it, not because of how much money I could (potentially) win. And it's not just the shooing, it' the whole package for me, the social side is just as enjoyable.
Also it is one of the very few, it not only sports that you get to compete with the really top shots/world champions etc.
Yes, it will be a holiday, Yes, I will probably miss almost every target, Yes, it might cost a few quid. but I will have great time non the less.
Far from fizzling out, I think this event is just going to get bigger and bigger.
My only fear is, the event could be a game changer in respect of who gets to attend. At the moment, as far as I'm aware, anyone can enter any of the big competitions, with no pre qualifying history.
if next year is as big as this year, and every indication is that it will be. Could we see this becoming an event were Joe public have to qualify?
