Cardigan, Ceredigion -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/23/2016 -- A number of recent news pieces have drawn attention to greater engagement with and publicity around country sports – such as fishing and pistol shooting. This is an apparent popularity furthered by the rise of companies providing access to these kind of activities: for example 'Really Wild Adventures' is a Somerset-based business offering the opportunity for air rifle shooting amongst beautiful surroundings. It is expected that this emphasis on air gun shooting as part of a structured, cultured recreation will result in increased engagement; with more possibly wanting a model of their own too.

Air gun activities have increased in significant popularity within the 'country sport' section as they are typically high-adrenaline and exciting. There are also a number of models available on the market as well as various activities – take clay pigeon shooting for instance – so it has an attractive diversity too.

Keen to comment on the growing popularity of country sports, especially air guns, was Sports Guns. They are a key provider of air weapons including rifles, pistols and accessories. A spokesperson had this to say:

"With a number of businesses offering the option of air gunning activities and spring weather approaching, it seems that the time has never been better for taking up an air gun as a sport. When you have your own model, this allows you to really get into a mindset of training and discipline. That is why we offer an extensive selection."

Cardigan, Ceredigion -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/24/2016 -- Recent news has highlighted the highly inclusive and growing community of people involved in the sport of archery. Once seen as a sport of old tradition, such reports prove it is a progressive and thrilling activity to be involved in. It accommodates people with disabilities too, as proved by two visually impaired archers - Stuart Rodgers and Carol Davies, who are part of the Louth and District Disabled Archery Club - being invited to train for two major international events. They have been to shoot individually at international classification level, and also will compete for Great Britain at the European Championships in April. This proves that archery is at the forefront of progressive sport, something industry experts, Sports Guns, was keen to comment on.

Archery is a widely-recognized sport, known for its traditional appeal and development of aim. It is thought that the recent reports will encourage engagement in the activity – as it can be modified and made accessible for a number of people to enjoy. For example, whilst Stuart competes in archery competitions fully blind, Carol is partially sighted. There are also institutions such as British Wheelchair Archery and the British Blind Sports association upholding archery as an inclusive sport.

Sports Guns are key providers of archery equipment and a spokesperson had this to say:

"It is brilliant to see the wide range of involvement in archery – and it is a skill-driven, exciting sport. That is why we offer a wide range of archery equipment, so people can pick an option well suited to them and enjoy this progressive sport."

Cardigan, Ceredigion -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/05/2016 -- According to Sport England's Active People Survey, with results recently released, there appears to be a growing trend of sport and exercise being on the decline in the UK. West London is a prime example where the proportion of adults getting involved with the recommended 30 minutes of exercise per day fell; in six out of eight boroughs. This extent of decline is also anticipated to apply across the country; as more people turn to technology rather than keeping active. However, a number of companies have been keen to come forward, not only to emphasise the importance of people keeping active but also that cutting-edge technology can be involved too! A prime example is Sports Guns.

Keeping active and enjoying exercise is often cited as a major lifestyle benefit; so that potentially fewer people are getting involved is a big concern. Key reasons why involvement is on the decline are anticipated not only to be more sedentary lifestyles with the use of technology, but also because people feel that available sports options are not engaging enough.

However, in response to the Sport England survey, a number of experts involved in the sporting industries are set to make moves to emphasize the accessibility of their exiting services and encourage engagement. Sports Guns provide a range of air guns, ideally suited to shooting sports; proving that technology and exercise can come together. A spokesperson had this to say:

"There appears a growing need to encourage people to get involved with sports and exercise. Sometimes it is about looking outside the box; and using an air gun can be high-adrenaline as well as disciplined form of exercise. A number of ranges are opening up across the UK too, where people can get involved with tasks such as target practice. We hope that more see the great potential of sport in this area."

There are high hopes for the Team GB squad for rifle & shotgun shooting in the Rio 2016 Games after successful shooter Amber Hill, aged 18, recently joined the team.

Cardigan, Ceredigion -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/24/2015 -- The GB Squad is now six-strong and highlights the ability and strength within shooting as a sport in Britain. This increases important awareness that rifle and shotgun shooting, when practiced responsibly, is a highly skilled and competitive discipline. It is also expected that the sporting successes of the GB squad may inspire more people to take up the sport themselves, something well-supported by a number of professionals in the field.

Amber Hill joined the team after claiming victory in Cyprus last month at the World Cup Final, following on from winning the 'skeet title' in the European Games. Her success has involved extensive amounts of practice and dedication in order to develop her aim. The prospect of competing in The Olympics therefore could be seen as well-deserved and emphasizes that rifle and shotgun shooting is a sport with plenty of place for progression.

This series of positive achievements has been celebrated by a number of industry related experts, including Cardigan sports. They provide an extensive selection of air guns and equipment and a spokesperson had this to say:

"We want to wish Amber Hill all the best in her Olympic dreams. Her successes show that Britain has a bold presence in rifle & shotgun shooting as a sport – and more people can get involved! These high-profile sporting successes mean that there are facilities opening up and down the country which the public can take advantage of too; trying out rifle and shotgun shooting for themselves. We would urge people to give it a try if they are interested!"

Cardigan Sports are key suppliers of a range of air guns and outdoor sports equipment. This includes a wide range of pistols, rifles and bb's, as well as accessories. Ammunition is also available.

Cardigan, Ceredigion -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/18/2015 -- Air guns are largely used responsibly in the UK – especially as part of sport and pistol shooting – yet a minority o those in possession of the guns are behaving irresponsibly. According to the Blue Cross, the amount of cats who have been shot by pellets from air weapons has doubled in the space of a year. The charity is calling for tighter restrictions on the sale of air guns after the devastating injuries that the charity has seen.

It's important to know that you don't need a licence to own an air gun, but the law makes no distinction between air guns and more powerful weapons as they're all classed as firearms. Air rifles are more commonly used for sports such as target practice, clay pigeon shooting and skirmishes, but there seems to have been an increase in people using them irresponsibly, resulting in injuries to pets.

The Blue Cross has called for tighter legislation on the sale of air rifles and air guns due to the amount of harm that's come to local pets.

About Sports Guns UK
Sports Guns UK are providers of varying different air guns and rifles and wanted to comment on the news: "Air guns should not, under any circumstances be used to injure domestic pets. The fact they have been is greatly upsetting to us as providers of the guns, but we stress they must be used for recreational purposes only. If used properly, they can provide hours of fun and teach discipline, but they should never be used maliciously. We provide full safety advice on the sale of any gun."

Cardigan, Ceredigion -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/29/2015 -- Recent news has shown that airsoft guns can be used as part of constructive, charitable activity. In order to support the Old Boots Veterans Association, over 200 people took part in a giant airsoft skirmish in Morinville, Canada– raising money for a worthy cause. The association helps veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and the skirmish not only helped promote awareness, but was a highly fun activity in itself. It highlights that airsoft can be a positive activity and can involve a great number of people.

Airsoft is rising in popularity after all, not only in Canada but the US and UK too. A traditional way of using air guns in sport is for target practice, and this is still significant, as seen in the pistol shooting sections in major sporting events like The Olympics. However, skirmishing can show the sport in a whole new light – as opening up the prospect for many to take part in a high-adrenaline event. In this way, people can use the air guns in team combat and make the most of the outdoors too.

About Cardigan Sports
Cardigan Sports is a key company which recognises the importance of good air gun provisions. After all, the quality of an air gun often determines how effective it will be in a sporting activity, and many are now recognised and actively enjoyed – not only skirmishes and target events, but clay pigeon events and other games of mock-combat. Sports Guns is a known industry expert as well as a frequent commenter on industry news.

A spokesperson had this to say:

"It is refreshing to see that airsoft guns are being used in such a positive way. The event really highlights the mass-appeal airsoft has too – as not only does it involve skill and look great, but lots of people can get involved at once. We want to offer our praise to the positive efforts of this charitable event too."

Cardigan, Ceredigion -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/11/2015 -- A man based in Wraxall is looking to set up an air rifle range for children, young people and families in a bid to combat rising rates of gun crime. The range will include supplementary activities too, such as fishing and archery. The initiative comes after members of the public in the area found that shooting ranges were inaccessible to non-specialists; waiting lists and members' only clubs abounded. The new centre will seek to involve people of all ages, especially families.

There have been concerns about gun crime, involving both air rifles and real firearms in Wraxall, and many areas throughout the UK. Anti-social behaviour with the use of air and BB guns in particular has been a cause for apprehension by many, particularly in urban areas. The new practice will seek to combat this with a healthy interest in the sport, directed in a productive manner which could be beneficial the community.

Cardigan Sports are a leading supplier of air guns, rifles, archery equipment and crossbows. Specialising in target practice equipment and skirmish apparatus, they are eager commentators on developments and news in the field. A spokesperson said, 'This is a highly promising initiative, one which we fully support and are impressed by. Air guns and rifles are becoming increasingly popular with young people and families as a hobby and passion outside of work, school or college. Target practice is good for hand eye coordination, and has been used as an informal source of therapy by many for centuries.

The additional benefit of the centre directing energies from potential crimes into a productive space such as this is also brilliant. It will no doubt be a wonderful outlet for the community, a place for people to gather and build new skills together. Air gun sports are extraordinarily versatile in this sense. We anticipate such initiatives will continue to expand in popularity.'

Cardigan, Ceredigion -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/17/2015 -- According to a recent report, Ceri Sweeney is just one of a number of high profile individuals to come forward in favour of recreational shooting sports.

A recent report in America has praised the University of Arkansas Community College as not only celebrating 50 years of higher learning excellence but also a rapidly growing collegiate shooting team.

The emphasis of shooting as a sport and the university's 50th year celebrations seem to emphasize the positivity of air gunning as a constructive activity.
