Glad to see clay sports on prime time!

I hope to see more of this from the CBC.

Epic... I hope this will start a new trend.

A great segment that showed sport shooting for what its is . a safe fun sport that can be enjoyed by all .

Rick Mercer + CBC + shotgun and it was a positive?!! My Gawd what's next?! Did you see the look on Mercers face when Susan finally loaded the gun and let him fire the round? He was sold!! LOL

Now that everyone wants to sever the billions in (arguably) miss-guided spending, the CBC is trying to attract a wider audience.

I have periodic fantasies about getting Harper to come out to my range and shoot a round of skeet. Would be great for the sport, and firearms enthusiasts as a whole.

WE NEED TO GET MORE (and younger) PEOPLE SHOOTING.

long may it continue.

Thanks for posting. That was excellent.

holy crap! was that real? I want to send the CBC and Rick a thank you. Could not find where to leave comments, any ideas.
Maybe we should all send the CBC a thank you note, positive reinforcement is a good thing.

 

[Cardamonfrost]

And to further that, here is Harper saying, mostly favorable things about the gun owners.

Wow! Thanks for the post.

 

[SparkOfLight]

That was awesome to see, thank you sir!

 

[pacobillie]

Pretty amazing, considering that it comes from the CBC and Rick Mercer! Nothing but positive stuff in that segment.

 

[RogerWW]

I'm glad someone posted this, as it certainly puts a smile on my face.

 

[airtruck63chev]

Awesome!!!

 

[Claybuster]

It's a great segment and a demonstration that the surest way to get non-gun people into shooting is to take them clay target shooting. A double barrel shotgun in the controlled environment of clay target shooting is a much easier sell on new people than civilianized assault rifles, handguns and combat action sports.

 

[cartwheel]

Funny enough- I have a friend I've known for years who saw that show and texted me and told me she wanted to try clay shooting. I'm taking her tomorrow for her first time shooting ever. Previously she had zero interest- and I would give her the occasional invite from time to time. It is amazing how perceptions are created, reinforced and sometimes broken. Can't force it- have to let it happen on it's own.

 

[Devlin]

Yes I've been happily spamming this all over social media in hopes of changing some views and perceptions. Tremendous to see this.

 

[frenchie_84]

WOW! A positive light shed on shooting! That's refreshing.
