    Gun Balance

    What are peoples preferences when it comes to gun balance ( muzzle heavy , butt heavy , neutral ) and do the different disciplines ( sporting , skeet , trap ) have different balance requirements ? The hinge pin is usually used as a reference point in regards to balance , so where does your gun...

    Beretta dt 11

    Good point , but I wasn't really aiming that comment at the DT 11 , most of the major makers are using them somewhere in their range of guns . Even my beloved Blaser is guilty . Ken

    Beretta dt 11

    Although I hate to admit it , DT 11's are very good guns , but I can't stand that " BLUE " stripe , it's just an insult to the beauty of the rest of the gun . While I'm on the subject of the modern trend of " Joseph and his multi-coloured dream gun " , I have a real dislike of the coloured...

    Fauldsy at the US Nationals

    I see that Bobby Fowler was only 1 target behind , so it wasn't a old fashioned flogging . Amazing shooting by all involved . Ron I agree with you , but by the sound of things everyone was fully aware of the silly protectionism rules that were in place . I'm sure Richard Faulds doesn't give a...

    Eley Superbs.

    G'day. I happily shoot Eley ammo down here in Oz . Can I ask a question about your Olympic ammo over there . I recently purchased a quantity of 28 gram 9 shot plastic wad Olympic  1358 . Some slabs are red shells and some slabs are blue . They are different lot numbers on the packets  lot...

    Fauldsy at the US Nationals

    Does the UK have a rule that foriegners can't win a national championship . For example could I be crowned national champ in the UK ( in my dreams :king: ) if I entered and won even though I'm from Australia ? Ken

    Blaser F3 SuperSport and newer F3's...opinions?

    G'day Mike , please don't think I was " having a go at you ' , because I wasn't . Can I ask in what way were the Blasers kicking you around . Was the recoil sharper and harder than other guns ? Did it bruise your shoulder - cheek etc ? Can I also ask what grade of timber you had , how dense...

    Blaser F3 SuperSport and newer F3's...opinions?

    I've read about this heavy recoil comment a few times on shooting forums , but have never actually meet in person a Blaser owner past or present that has had that problem .  Gun fit and stock dimensions play a huge part in perceived recoil , and how the recoil forces are transferred to the...

    Blaser F3 SuperSport and newer F3's...opinions?

    I love my Blaser F3 . I can't comment on the Super Sport as I have not shot one , mine is the standard rib sporter . Blaser never really got the credit they deserved when they introduced the F3 , they redesigned and re-thought so many aspects of the humble shotgun .  Get the Blaser you won't...

    Beretta dt 11

    The dealer should have given you the option of a new gun or supplied you with a new barreled action to use with your existing wood . The expense of either of these options should fall at the feet of the dealer and Beretta . You paid alot of money for something that wasn't built right , and now...

    Beretta dt 11

    I can't believe your patience with the whole ordeal . You are very tolerant in my opinion . Beretta and your dealer who you purchased the gun from , should hang their heads in shame . Your dealer in my opinion is at greatest fault , they  should have sorted out the problems immediately , any...

    Can I ask what distances most of the targets were set for ? I would like to try a similar thing here at my local club for a fun day and this opportunity to pick your brains is to good to pass up . Ken

    What is your Discipline -Sporting/Trap

    Sporting , Skeet , 5 Stand . I am making myself shoot some Trap occasionally but its not really my kind of thing . I shoot Sporting and Skeet gun down and Trap just doesn't feel right because of the pre mounted gun . Can I ask what Sportrap is , I've seen it mentioned a couple of times here...
