British Shooting is especially keen to hear from Scouts (including Explorer Scouts and Network members) who take part in target shooting at any level, including those just starting, and I hope that you will be willing to ask your Scouts to give a few minutes of their time to take part in a telephone survey about their participation in the sport.

To volunteer, they should email Rebecca Gibson rebecca.gibson@sportstructures.com and give their phone number so that they can be called back to take part in the survey. The email might also usefully say where they are in the sport.

In addition (but please do not see this as a substitute for the telephone discussion) shooters of all ages can also take part in their on-line survey at http://www.sportstructures.com/survey/survey.asp?survey=20010617 , which gives a chance to win £50 in a prize draw.
