What did you shoot back in your UK days, before they went completely nuts? Any particular reason you can't find it here (USA)?

I was pretty competent at small bore rifle (captain of college team and national competitions), was ok with Berreta side by side at sporting clays, and had a few enjoyable evenings shooting my uncles 1911 and S&W .38 revolver at a practical range under Brighton seafront.
Then Michael Ryan did his trip with an assault rifle and the college club got shut down (despite the lack of crime committed with .22 single shot), then the handguns were taken, and clays are still tough to find space for.
Mind you could pay $1000 for a day of pheasant shooting if you knew the right people and went to an estate day...
Think I left the UK just in time...
