Were you born overseas?

I find that gun in the shoulder, but head off the stock, prevents me becoming focused on the barrel before the clay appears. It also gives me a clearer sight picture. Probably not for everyone, but it works for me.

I wish I could believe the money would go towards improving the process but, somehow, I just can’t. In reality, as costs go up people will shoot less and, as less people shoot, costs will go up further for those that remain. Game shoots will close, as will clay grounds, and those that survive...

Can’t go far wrong with 3/8 in both barrels. I can kill most stuff with them…when I point the gun in the right direction.

When you consider how lethal a vehicle can be in the wrong hands, the renewal of a licence is remarkably lacking in any real scrutiny.

I’m finding that with Hull Superfast. A lot of airborne litter. Going back to Fiocchi as soon as these are gone.

Bought these for the button girl (wife) and they are excellent at the price. To be honest, they are excellent at twice the price.

If a right handed shooter, using a gun that’s cast on to suit them, can switch it to the left shoulder and “it wouldn’t matter”. Why would anyone bother having a gun fitted? I’m not trying to be awkward Ben, I just want to understand.

My comment related to the person who suggested switching shoulders depending whether the clay was l to r, or r to l. Probably achievable if the gun had a neutral stock, less so if it was significantly cast on or off.

Depends how heavily cast your stock is.

Coombe Farm Sporting in Somerset. Great gun shop, nice people, good knowledge.

I applied 2nd of January 22 and was told to expect an 18 month wait. I received it in late September 22. Better than expected, but still too long. P.S. This was Avon and Somerset.

I dream of 24p a clay. I recently checked half a dozen places in the South West and it ranges between 35p and 45p a clay. If anyone knows of anywhere decent that costs less, I’d be keen to know.
