AS a clay shooter, I read with interest The Crow's report on Nuthampstead Shooting Centre being chosen as a training centre for the Olympic Games.
I am pleased for Martin and Nicky Barker, they certainly deserve being recognised for their great facilities.

I thought one of the benefits of hosting the Olympic Games in your own country was the legacy it leaves for others in the future.
