That's true Beetroot and I did in a fair bit of stalking in the UK when I lived there as well as shooting at Bisley, but...
By and large it seems the English have a fear of firearms and within those in authority it seems like it is pathological.
I thint they are afraid of the peasants.
poms love being told what to do and being under the thumb. its the reason my parents got me the hell out of that shithole
But again you will find a heap of people in Australia, here and even the USA are the same.
Australia is in a similar boat to the UK in that they had a few mass shootings that allowed a certain group of politics to demonise firearms.
Very similarly to NZ the students and city folk aren't keen on guns, but there is a lot of the country that isn't so soft and fluffy.
There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

Maybe the main benefit of bringing them to the range is not so much the shooting. They meet a group of friendly, calm, safety-focused people who pursue their hobby at a well-run range. The impression stays with them for life, even if they don't take up the sport.
An itch ... is ... a desire to scratch
I recall my first gun range visit in the late 1970s. Just remember it was a calm place, lots of blokes there and they were all concentrating a lot. And they had a tuck shop where they sold Mars bars and .22LR. (-: The gun nut image just could not stick to that, even with superglue.

Shooting has never really been a sport amongst the British working classes, though, like me, some have managed to break into this sport. Historically, for the British working class, exposure to firearms would usually include the order to fix bayonets. Lest we forget that wars are fought by the ordinary to benefit the privileged.
