Well, I clicked, but I don't really follow shotgun so I had no comment to make.

I will look forward to the small bore post!

Thanks for having a look.

The editor normally runs these multi-parts on consecutive days, so I would guess tomorrow will be pistol and Thursday rifle.

Obviously I'll post here as they are published.

My Olympic shooting career came to a crashing halt when photos surfaced on social media of me posing with some floaties at a swimming pool :oops:
