There will never be 'Big sponsorship' for shooting in the UK, because there simply isn't enough interest in it from outside the shooting world. You cannot compare the UK to the USA either, because as far as shooting and gun culture is concerned it is a totally different ball game. Sadly all prize money will have to be made up by the competitors themselves, this goes for all shooting in the UK, from the humble weekly registered to the very top. Look at the non CPSA shoots, who is actually making up the prize fund?
Admittedly it is a bit more expensive than usual, a premium if you like to shoot in a world championship I suppose. I like Jeremy will be looking forward to it.
