Public at large has no idea about plinking shooting for fun etc. Only thing you will be left with ISSF or something like that.

Get more girls into shooting/hunting. You will have next few generations who will shoot. Take out people, get your colleagues to shoot with you. I have taken out hardcore anti-guns people and believe me once they are on range and shoot few rounds they convert. \

Charging hefty amounts to foreigners. Ha ha that is like making a lion taste blood. You can forget free/cheap hunting for locals then and then a time will come when only foreigners will be hunting. We have seen that in INDIA prior to hunting ban, wealthy Americans were doing all hunting then.

Stop being apologetic about guns/hunting. You are not doing anything illegal. I like guns and hunting and if someone has a issue with that then they can go F themselves.

This!

absolutely correct. I shoot clays and targets as well as hunt. lets face it if we dont have viable hunting, we dont have firearms. The latest regulation change debacle should have proven that by and large we are all one group and can support each other and face the same threats. As well the game animal council can use its advisory role in support of firearms users in general, not just hunters.
