Up to a point Lord Copper. Where I part company is in the potential involvement of any government body; national, county, state, whatever.

Once a "anti" government like the current Bliar (not a spelling mistake) administration gets a handle on hunter training (or anything else connected to shooting sports) they will endevour to crush the life out of us.

Voluntary, as you say...fine. Compulsory via statute and backed by politicians..nein mein Fuhrer!
