LETTER OF THE WEEK

Cars and shooting — a fine cocktail

May I congratulate you on a particularly enjoyable issue of Shooting Times. As someone who has spent 25 years training and instructing health and safety in the field-based industries, I found that Richard Negus’s article (Close to losing your audience, 25 January) struck a chord with me. However, I would add one extra category; ‘old gits’. They know it all and think none of the legislation applies if money changes hands. God bless them.

In the same issue, you manage to combine two of my passions — shooting and the Bentley marque). I have long been an admirer of the Bentley Boys but had never considered Sir Henry ‘Tim’ Birkin’s shooting career. Thanks for expanding my knowledge and for an exceptional issue as a whole.
