Advantages: It's great to win gold medals!

Disadvantages: It's difficult for the general public to go out and play this sport

Shooting, like any other sport in the Olympics, takes a tremendous amount of practice to get good at. It's understandable that many great shooters have come from the States as they have a serious gun culture. I've always found it a mystery though that Britain gets so many shooting gold medals. Guns are banned for general ownership and use, and we certainly do not have anything remotely approaching a gun culture. Yet it seems that every Olympics we win gold medals in shooting, and sometimes they are the only gold medals we win. There are a number of shooting clubs in England, but surely it would still be impossible to practice as much as if you lived elsewhere? I think that some of the coaches of other sports in this country should go down to these shooting clubs and find out the secret to winning!
