It seems that once again we have given way to the barmy brigade. It is
proposed that 'Pigeon' is dropped from the title of the CPSA and the word
'Target' replace it because animal rights supporters are too stupid to
differentiate between a clay pigeon and a real one. Mr Boake and his cahoots
would like to welcome you all to the wonderful world of political
correctness.
In the interests of accuracy which is given as one of the reasons for the
change we also need to consider 'Clay', they haven't been made from clay
for years if they ever were.
Perhaps we should also consider the word 'Shooting' that is also in the
title. With it's overtones of violence I think that has to go.
What about the scoring?. A 'kill' ? No not really. How about a 'hit'? No
still to violent. So dressed on our ballistic trousers to prevent nasty
scratches from the greenery, spectacles for our eyes (not glasses dearheart
it's not accurate), wellingtons against wet grass and foot rot, ear
defenders, gloves to stop chilblains, and high vis jacket complete with hard
hat we should say 'disassembled'
Then there are the different types of bird used in sporting rounds.
Springing teal and the rest will have to go and be replaced by things like
'a high looping, a bit on it's edge and going like stink disk of black
composite material'.
I'll bet before long we are asked to consider if there is a more up to date
instrument we could use rather then a gun because we all know guns are nasty
things used by unstable people who could go berserk at any time. We should
ban them and lower gun crime. It worked for handguns didn't it? It didn't?
Oh dear, well I'm sure it will when we ban shotguns.
We must be environmentally friendly so I thought of bows and arrows but
that's still too dangerous. What about if we throw sticks at them? On the
same theme we use electricity to power the traps, Hmm traps, perhaps someone
could suggest a less aggressive word for them. So we now need a launcher
that is zero carbon.
I there for propose:
The Association of people that wouldn't hurt a fly, that are kind to their
mums, old ladies, children and small furry creatures who throw sticks at
black things chucked in the air by environmentally friendly trappers and pay
lots of money for the privilege.
Oops, no, can't call them trappers can we? Damn I'll have to start again
