    Blaser Titanium 1/4 flush chokes.

    Yeah. Well I actually gifted them to a helpful friend, Chris Dennis. He has them for sale. See him on Facebook, or I can give you his details if you message me.

    Sporting shoots 2023. How was it?

    My comment at the time was it was a bit of a daft stand and unnecessarily tricky to shoot and ref properly

    Sporting shoots 2023. How was it?

    Hangman’s today, in sunny but cool conditions. Good shoot, some simpler stands and some that definitely weren’t! Two particular bad spots for me but ended on 88. Was busy as ever today, maybe more than usual. Didn’t get round very quickly. There is a single track road going in, which at about...

    Chokes and comps?

    No rules. You can change as you like. Massive subject of discussion. I don’t.

    Tiptop RIP

    Terrible news. Dreadful health luck that we would all hope to avoid. Was somebody I chatted in good humour to at many shoots for years. RIP Martin.

    Introduction and gun fit question

    Reading this thread is about as comfortable as explaining to a group of 5 women which one of them has the correct size bottom.

    12 gauge 24g cartridges for clays

    I use the 24g 9.5 TT2 Fiocchi for ESK. Dusts them and £265. Pattern well enough. Using anything more for ESK is a bit pointless I feel.

    Cone height

    Again, have to see you to sort this, but there’s a strong possibility that you are only presenting enough of your shoulder pocket to the gun for 80% of the pad to be contacted. That’s different from only 80% of the pad touching you, in terms of blame. 😀 There is a technique to raising your...

    Shooting glasses for spec wearers ?

    Yes it will be. I think I paid £90 all in a couple of years ago.

    Shooting glasses for spec wearers ?

    I take the point about “recognised” for legal matters. Totally agree little wire frame type glasses are no good, on various levels. Safety glasses as used on a factory floor are not practical for shooting with their bulky frames, never mind the lack of colours and prescription. I always reckon...

    Shooting glasses for spec wearers ?

    I can’t quantify how protective they are, but they look very sturdy to me. They are definitely shatterproof material (I did check). Also, being prescription they are inherently fairly thick lenses. I know I sound like they’re paying me, but having had all sorts from the big name obvious sources...

    Who’s the big names in Sporting now?

    They are all still shooting.

    Sporting shoots 2023. How was it?

    Did RedRicks today. Nice course. Fiddly in places and only stand 10 with some good long targets. (Only dropped 1 there). Had a ridiculous moment on stand 11 missing 3 crossers way in front. I really have to sort this nonsense. Did same yesterday. Decent score but robbed myself of glory yet again.

    Who would you recommend and why ?

    Also Emmett and Stone. 10 mins from ejc. Can likely take and try.

    Shooting glasses for spec wearers ?

    You don’t try and shoot in varifocals Rich? That just doesn’t work. And again, coloured prescription lenses from Specsavers is a cheap and pretty good solution.

    Shooting glasses for spec wearers ?

    Search “Specsavers” on this site. Several threads I’ve commented on.

    If you were starting again,,,,,,

    I would have had a few more lessons early on, but mainly I would have not changed guns so often in first few years.

    Sporting shoots 2023. How was it?

    Well done. I also never found the second on stand 3 and talking to others that hit it was just confusing. Definitely had some silly moments elsewhere too (last pair missed no reason etc) but finished dead on my average. A well pitched shoot, average score was 75.

    DT11 Black Edition

    I had two gun shops tell me they weren’t making them anymore. They are still on GMK website though

    DT11 Black Edition

    I just worry the steel rib will harm the feel. I certainly don’t like the standard DT11 so much. They should make it a lighter barrel package if they want to keep the old black feel.
