More people target shoot than golf?

According to a study conducted by Responsive Management, cialis usa cheap 34.4 million Americans went target shooting in 2009.

For comparison, viagra usa 28.6 million Americans golfed (a minimum of one round) in 2008, according to the National Golf Foundation.

The Responsive Management study included a wide spectrum of shooting activities at gun clubs and ranges, including hunters sighting in rifles, trap and skeet shooters and handgun owners practicing marksmanship.

Although the number – about 15% of the nation’s population – is not insignificant, target shooters are a distinct minority in America.

And unlike golf, shooting carries a negative stigma in much of mainstream America.

Negative stigma? And, yet, our TV shows and movies are filled with firearms righteously used. So are our books and video games.

It’s only the press, the politicians, and the the people who buy into their anti-gun propaganda who think target shooting has a negative stigma.
