For a period of five years I worked for a large aftermarket automotive company that had a very large supplier base from all over the world. When they'd come over on business I had the opportunity to take a lot of them shooting. Most of them never shot a gun before. I'd take them sporting clays shooting and also some pistol shooting. They loved it! They really got a good impression of what firearms are about in America. No cowboys and indians, no gangsters, no mayhem on the streets (at least they didn't see any while they were here). It was different than what they were used to. Before me, they'd get to play golf or go sight-seeing. I don't golf so it was sporting clays. What I liked about it was my boss paying for it plus dinner afterwards. I made friends from all over the world and still stay in contact with them.
