Who is doing all the Enfield target shooting??

[Colonel Enfield]

I think a huge part of the appeal from modern guns is they just work - they're all pretty accurate "out of the box" and don't require any fiddling around with to get great results with.

We're all fond of old rifles here but I think we can acknowledge they have their quirks which means getting the most out of them is part of the experience, but for folks in their 20s with limited time and funds, they don't want to be messing around with esoteric jiggery-pokery when they can put a mag in their gun, point it at the target, and know any time the bullets don't go through the centre when they pull the trigger is due to an operator error rather than a century-old gun not liking the only brand of ammunition available in the local gun shop.

There are people who are interested in shooting [the above group] and people who are interested in guns. And there are people who are interested in guns and shooting. The later usually are the most clubbable.
