If you thought competitive target shooting was safe from the rapacious reach of gun grabbers — think again.
British Shooting is disappointed that the sport of target shooting has not been included in the programme for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.
It will be the first time since 1970 that shooting has not featured at the Games.
The initial announcement that shooting wouldn’t be included in the list of sports set to be represented at Birmingham 2022 came out two years ago. But since then, shooting governing bodies across the Commonwealth have worked hard to propose a plan that would be viable for all parties.
Following a consultation period, the ISSF, British Shooting, and other prominent shooting federations across the Commonwealth had hoped that the Commonwealth Games Federation and the Birmingham Organising Committee would be able to find a successful solution to include shooting sports in the 2022 programme.
The ISSF offered to contribute to the costs of shooting being included, while Bisley was suggested as the venue for shooting sports. This is same location used for the Manchester 2002 Commonwealth Games with great success.
However, the Commonwealth Games Federation today reaffirmed their initial announcement of shooting sports not being included.
Bombmaking,goat humping,singlehanded be-heading? instead?
Considering the global influence the toxic left has these days, they are probably contemplating Competitive Aborting, instead.
Yes, much more humane to have the animals born in captivity and raised for mechanical slaughter. But only until we can complete civilize the masses to accept rations manufactured hydroponically in solar powered greenhouses.
“…consider fishing more sporting than hunting.” That reinforces the impression you have made here that you pretty much suck at considering things. Don’t give up the day job.
Yep, that would be the plan.
I don’t get people posting shit about stuff they know nothing about, yet here we are.
Piss off Jew-Hater. You are stinking up this joint. Kate needs to ban your ass.
Brilliant satire. Progressive Pat is that you? It is satire, right? None can be seriously that stupid?

“However the 2013 homicide figures were released by Statistics Canada
on Monday. In the first full year without the registry, the murder rate
in Canada went down significantly – 8%.”

Then I guess spear chucking (javelin) will also be banned? I mean it’s clearly racist.
You would starve.
I wonder if the glick can toss a rock with the accuracy of David the shepherd, at a distance proportionate to a sniper?
nah. he would starve right from the start.
‘used, used, used’. uhuh, and the Inuit USED to live in stone aged conditions.
I dont think they had skidoos back then . . . . .
‘used used used’. lol !!!!
Oh look, a new troll to beat up. Yay!
“I am confused about why Atlatl isn’t used in any competitive fashion.”
No you’re not. Just grasping for any excuse to hate on firearms. Try again.
Knife handling appears to a uniquely … *ahem* … British skill. Although I believe MS-13 could challenge “British” dominance in the “sport”. Then again, I suppose knife handling would be both a racist, and toxically masculine sporting event. So, best to leave it on the streets, where it belongs. Eh?
It won’t be long before the shotput and the javelin are dropped. Both are dangerous weapons, especially the javelin. Then maybe the pole in the pole vault will be the next target.
The pole vault will become transsexual pole dancing instead, and you will NOT avert your eyes, hater!
And fencing, wrestling, shot put, judo, pentathlon, equestrian events, the e pommel horse in gymnastics. There is no shortage of sports with a martial heritage that might trigger some girly men, and girls.
When Guns are banned from sporting events well then you don’t have an excuse for not banning them completely anymore.
Probably gives Trudeau and the Corrupt Liberal cabal an idea.
They’ll probably soon make it illegal to say gun. If you eliminate the word, then possibly the idea. Look for New Zealand PM Clitless Sourpuss to make it the law first.
I guess that a certain Rebel Media reporter will have to change her surname, then.
They should at least replace it with a stabbing sport. They could have different blade lengths and knife types using ballistic dummies. Doug Marcaida could be one of the judges. Yelling allahu ahkbar gets you bonus points.
People against shooting sports are free to have that opinion, but gee I wonder how that freedom has been kept?
For some odd reason, you have mistaken yourself for someone more intelligent than you are.
At a range of 21 feet or less, the bayonet (it’s a thing we attach to the other end of the rifle, saves ammunition) consistently defeats the knife attack. But so does the gun, if the shooter starts on the same footing as the stabber. The 21 foot rule is about situational awareness and determining the point at which you are justified in using lethal force to prevent an attacker armed with a knife or other hand weapon, (sword, hammer, pointed stick, etc.) starting their attack. If someone with a gun starts the fight by shooting you at a range of 21 feet, or more, or less, your knife is useless unless they miss repeatedly.
She’s (Glick a Jewish name) not listening. She is a troll. She needs to be banned.
Buddy, they have no idea what freedom is all about. they want to be free to enslave anyone they want.

coulda been a contenda…
“About 45 inmates are on death row in Jamaica, which reported
a record 1,671 homicides in 2005 and is considered one of the
most violent countries in the world.”

Will they substitute knife throwing? That’s popular in London right now.
No, its acid throwing. The knives they keep for stabbing.
Have you seen the specially blunted knives they’re distributing to domestic abuse victims? In all seriousness, they are.
Archery would also have to be banned.
I mean it’s a silent killing method.
oh look.
we have our very own anti-Semite on board.
apparently little itty bitty Israel is the bad apple in the ME because they are so, you know, ‘unfair’ in their defensive measures against a muzzie population 100 times larger and land area 50 times bigger. more or less.
channel herr adolph perhaps?
and regarding target shooting?
the 3rd time I ever held a 38 revolver, I put 20 rounds within the spread of my fingers from the std 60 feet.
1 other person did that out of 50. the instructor.
I learned that day I have a knack for target shooting, my trick was the same I used in photography, learning which of the 2 overlapping images in my haid was the right one. ie squinting was a no-no.
3rd time I EVER held a handgun.
when things get really really ugly, I know I can trust my skills to see me thru. aka make very round count,
aka take as many of them with you as you can.
“….the 3rd time I ever held a 38 revolver, I put 20 rounds within the spread of my fingers from the std 60 feet…..”
Fascinating, where the dragons and unicorns in that story too?
Right? 20 rounds in six inches with a revolver at 60 feet? I would have believed 15 feet. Still not shabby, I’ve seen grown men not keep it in six inches at 15 feet.
Yeah that too. Never mind that his instructor having a group of 50 (!) novice shooters decides to skip the 22 and goes straight to 38. And than he sets his target a little further because reasons and hb kung-fu-pands it because something photography. Comedy gold.
I hauled out my old high school trig textbook and did the calculation.
*3/4 of 1 degree angle*
oyph.
p.s. it was closer to 8 inches spread furthest hits.
the major trick I figured out was to FOCUS on that ‘overlapping image’ (left eye, right eye thing) that had the rear sight, front sight AND target all lined up.
plus as the instructor said ‘do not anticipate the kickback’. squeeze slowly, etc, *gauge the result for the next shot*, etc.
sound like MAYBE I know what Im talking about folks? hmmmm?
oh, and p.s. mr colon, the reason it was 38 revolvers, ’cause being a police auxiliary they had LOTS of them sitting around.
that’s back when cops *were* tops. 30+ years ago.
aaaaand the ‘something photography’ is the FACT when I take an action shot, my right eye looks at the ‘big picture’ and my left eye looks thru the narrower camera view finder image. thus if a ‘critter’ or some such is *about to* enter the shot, I know exactly when to expect them to show up. I learned many many years ago VIA STILL PHOTOGRAPHY how to process images in my head instantaneously to get out of it what I wanted.
m’kay ya smarmy snot?
“…sound like MAYBE I know what Im talking about folks? ”
No it does not. But it is hilarious. Keep going please.
I have been shooting competitively since I was 8 years old. I am one of those unfortunate souls that has to practice to stay sharp I have sent hundreds of thousands of rounds down range to polish my skills so I could hold my head up after the next match. However, I have two friends, one male, one female, who do not have to practice. They are naturals. They have amazing powers of concentration and hand eye coordination. Paul has invariably and immediately, out shot me with every firearm I have put in his hand. (Throwing knives, tomahawks and axes too.)
Delinda had fun but showed no great talent the first time I took her to the range. The second time, she was recovering from being beaten half to death and after a half hour of instruction she was out shooting me. She rarely shoots out side of my visits, and she never practices, yet she out shoots me more often than not.
Of the thousands of people I have shot with and against I know of these two exceptions. Perhaps hb is another? Betcha 25 cents.
If I had the power I would go Old Testament on every liberal socialist on the planet. The level of stupid in this world will kill us all.
?
you read that book too owg?
I had to skip some of the repetitive parts, but others I reread umpteen times: esp. Esther and
MOST esp Daniel, my top favorite OT bloke EVER. he sympathized with those tortured lions. imprisoned and starved
by the likes of the palace guards. I fancy he would on occasion sneak into the kitchen and toss big cuts of meat into the lion’s den,
speaking quietly to them and playing the flute to sooth their moods.
one of the lions was a genius and sized up the entire situation right from the start.
wot’s dis? ol’ Daniel the musician lowered into our midst? ahem (speaking in lionese, very LOUDLY):
HEY YOUSE. KEEP YER PAWS OFF DANIEL WHILE HE’S ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE BARS. IN FACT THE FIRST ONE TO SO MUCH AS *LOOK* AT HIM THE WRONG WAY *I* WILL TEAR YOUR GUTS OPEN AND LET THE REST FEED ON YOU.
none did.
by next morning theyre all asleep including Daniel who now fully knows in a very real and personal way his unquestioning faith has been, well, *beyond* rewarded. it has entered a category of human history for the ages.
amen.
That guy wasn’t suggesting that we take up knife fighting instead of target shooting, was he? I watched that clip on knife fighting, it was absolutely barbaric.
Next to be banned..Darts.
It is just so pointy and aggressive.
Modern competitive sports are taking over.
We have the automobile whack a mole for solo sidewalk events.
The gay toss from high buildings,featuring team spirit and coordination.
The drug enhanced self propulsion events,see who can blow bits of themselves furthest into the crowd.
Then the ever popular competitive crowd heave, where strategic placement of high explosives can guarantee a rising response from the stands.
Of course transgender chainsaw juggling seems apt to the age as well.
The Brits are absolutely right to ban sporting events featuring firearms,clubs,sharp instruments and architectural features are far more entertaining from the modern crowds point of view.
So much more “up close and personal”
Rome apparently put on some truly entertaining shows ,just before the end,are we not as “advanced” as The Roman Empire?
Sarcasm aside,modern man lacks the hand eye coordination to survive a technological society,how could we possibly entertain the notion that some people could aspire to competitive accuracy …never mind sarcasm rules.
Obviously they’re going to ban shooting sports. They’re salivating at the idea of banning them.
Britain is discussing knife bans, for god’s sake. You think they’re not going to seize every .22 and air gun in the country?
Will the pentathlon be banned as well as it includes pistol shooting?
The funny thing is, the shooting sports are one of the few sports that the women are equally competitive to men.
Yeah, so?
Does anyone think “registration will lead to confiscation” only applies to guns?
Anything you “own” that is registered with the government, they are coming to take it eventually.
vehicles
guns
RRSP
other pensions
But if Alberta separates, they will do registration “correctly”. Not like all the other governments…
Don’t care! Won’t be watching anyhow. All of the international sports are only competitions between the chemists in the respective countries.
The gymnastics? With the little girls who have been assaulted by their ‘coaches’? The ‘field’ athletes, if you will and their ‘coaches and trainers’. Get real.
Oh yeah and those ‘transitioning’??
No, I’m busy that day, week or whatever. Might be out shooting something. Somewhere.
