National Shooting Show(UK)

[tb-303]

My Dad is a bit of and old skool shooting nut(flintlocks and muskets etc) and in his mag this month theres an ad for the National Shooting Show which is being held at Bisley in May(i think)
Anyway in the ad it talks about how all kinds of shooting will be on display so the usual target, clay pidgeon etc but at the end of the list is Paintball.
so i was wondering if any UK guys are in on this and know whats happening there? has PGI or the UKPSF been approached about this?
it could be a good platform to promote paintball as a sport in the UK.i'm just hoping they do things right and portray us as sports men and women and not weekend rambos.

I'm just interested thats all,might see you there if anyones going.

Hey tb, we publish some shooting mags and we should be there - normally we take some copies of pgi. Shooting fraternity tend to look down there noses on paintball & airsoft. What mag does your dad read?

The looking down the nose thing had crossed my mind and i was wondering if that was the case.thats why i was interested on how paintball will be displayed(?) there. i guess the "shooting" guys are one group of people who look down on us for NOT wearing camo!

as for the mag my dad reads i'll get back to you bud coz i didn't see the front cover just the ad.
