There's a time sensitive opportunity to get a LOT of free international publicity that will cast the sport of shooting in a very positive light. New Zealand is having a national campaign promoting its atheletes from varioius sports. One of the sports is shooting. If a shooter (and we've picked Sean McCabe) wins, his (and our) sport will be spotlighted there (and throughout the world to a lesser degree) very positively!
There's a related thread to this here, but your help is needed!

Why Sean McCabe? He's the best shot we've got.
Why do we care? If a shooter wins, there will be a lot of national publicity in NZ and elsewhere promoting shooting!
Is there a connection with McCabe? No. He's just the best horse in the race for us.
Does anybody at TFL gain anything from this? No, it's strictly an effort to promote shooting as a sport.
