Coleys today, first of four monthly Saturday shoots running over the “Winter” for our 12.50 5 man squad luckily the wet stuff stopped as we were about to start, did return for the last 3/4 stands but only as drizzle, the place looked as if the earlier starts had a soaking. Was first up on St1...

Hope all is well, wishing full and speedy recovery

Have the sad news to share with those of you that knew him that Martin Tipper aka Tiptop passed away yesterday 19th October after a long illness, lovely chap, had strong but fair opinions on shooting matters and he will be missed.

Not take an extended break after first started shooting however looking back, girls-girlfriend -wife-children-work-mortgages-financial crash(s)-cricket-rugby- grandchild have all been a welcome distraction etc, for me shooting needs to be a regular activity or you do lose a bit (or a lot) of an...

Ah I’ve not explained that / muppets usage very well, you are indeed correct variofocal lenses for shooting does not work at all. My prescription lenses are set for the distance setting only.

In defence of AGL today they were hosting the National InterCounties English Sporting, so may have been a bit / tad busy, there is also much to be said of dealing locally with such a major purchase

Am also a variofocal glasses wearer, it’s ridiculously expensive to have prescription lenses let alone same in multiple colours, if you want multiple colours then contact lenses & regular shooting glasses / colour options may be your only viable choice. In my own experience prescription lenses...

I have no experience of the first three on your list, Coleys which I’ve bought from previously has changed a lot in last few years, Barbury ( as mentioned by MrJonz ) I can recommend. Do ring in advance they are most accommodating with demo guns, very decent cafe too.

Coleys today, Ive not been out to a reg since last one here, late pm squad, thankfully missed the rain that dampened the place somewhat, was / felt cold in places but thankfully we were mostly basked in pleasant autumn sunshine. Squad of chums, when going out not many scores showing and...

Its the grounds error, they should be following the “rule” regarding such an event.

Would imagine it’s human error entering data into score programme, easily done on a big day, and if required a query raised at ground or later with CPSA any error easily corrected too.

Another at Coleys, bit too hot in the open, thankfully the exposed refs had some shade. Shot 9/12 stands well enough, imploding on just three, didn’t seem to be as busy as previous shoots. Hgun Andy Moon 98 and he was chased to the end by a good many.

I must confess I didn’t watch the live feed, instagram I think, have watched a few ISSF Olympic Skeet you tube offerings, even with the flash clays it’s hardly compelling, english Sporting with the distances involved even a harder watch, shooting will I fear never be a spectator sport, and...

Ah, Im bad, apologies for my mid-reading, with this event being sold out within days the funds are all banked (all are competition entries) and the numbers in class will be known before event so it’s feasible that the prize list would have been available prior to day 1?

I think the query was more wheres the list not where’s my money

3 days? Weds Thurs Fri & Sat being four? One rather large quirk on the current format I’ve never really liked is the multiple options some have in order to “qualify“ and the final day is a free for all bun fight, ones own view being that if you qualified in a class or category but not as one of...

Not the first time this has occurred, and yes agree that ideally it should be avoided.

Firstly thank you for your kind comments, will confess to the odd ramble which oft bears little reference to any real details of the shoot, the clay bashing or lack of is just part of the ( mostly very enjoyable) day etc. No offence taken at all, regarding my “issue” I’ve seen a couple over the...

And very nice to meet you, normally have a named Hull vest but going undercover whilst in this current rut. Well shot today DazW hope you drive back was plain sailing as a lot of traffic around today

Oxfordshire today, again a last minute works diary change gave me chance to drop in first thing, well for a 10am start due to two chaps pulling due to combining duties. Last month it started wet then went full monsoon, today it threatened drizzle, none appeared and got quite pleasant by end. was...
