The Sportsman's Association is a pro-shooting organisation in the UK. ==History== The Sportsman's Association was formed in 1996 to campaign for the right of sports shooters to own handguns. This was limited following the Dunblane Massacre when Thomas Hamilton killed 16 children and their teacher using legally-held pistols. Varying membership figures have been given over the past two years, but are now thought to be around 2700(May 2008 AGM) with 1,700 being full members, 35 trade members & 1000 other members. The association tried to organise a boycott of the 2012 Olympics, urging people not to volunteer as staff and judges. They asserted that chosen venue, Woolwich Arsenal, was less suitable than the ranges at Bisley, Surrey.〔http://www.shootingtimes.co.uk/news/322080/Protests_over_Woolwich_shooting_venue_grow.html〕〔http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/general/others/inside-lines-call-for-boycott-gives-2012--organisers-shooting-pains-1678036.html〕〔http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/8034116.stm〕
