Yes but is that a trap target or sporting? That is why I made it clear our club although having a parcours is nearly totally trap. If you think about it trap targets are cheaper to put into the air simply because you do not need much area compared to sporting layout and For UT only 5 traps...

That is where I am at you can either afford to shoot or not. Very few shooters I know actually think about the cost of what they use to shoot their targets. Don't get me wrong I know loads of shooters who shoot the cheapest they can get but the actual cost is not the issue!

I pay €3.50 for 25 targets I do not know if that price is under threat . It is just a perk of being a member of a private club, as all the clubs down here are. The non members have to pay €5 for the same 25 targets . The thing is our club, although we do have a parcours is predominantly trap so...

Which I think tells you something? British shooting is no where near the level where anybody has a mind to buck the trend and say enough is enough with regards to cartridge prices. I think the manufacturers already know this and price rises will continue... why... they know shooting is an...

So you are not complaining about price hikes then 😃 👍

I think that is the thing . If shooters are still willing to buy cartridges at the higher price the manufacturers will happily keep the prices high. It is all about market forces, if for example there was a backlash to price increases and shooters stopped buying cartridges to the point where the...

Yes but it would appear that it is a bitter pill that is being swallowed without much angst. It is actually the people who shoot the cartridges that set the price not the manufacturers. They will and can only charge what the market will bear so over to the shooters to let them have their say on...

It is plain to see that for whatever reason shooters in the UK are being ripped off for cartridges. I know that currency conversions are in play but I bought Rio Star team EVO cartridges at €216  or  about £185 per thousand at the start of this season so they could be more expensive now but not...

I have always believed that the man behind the gun is what make the difference. However even I have progressed to a better quality cartridge but I do not know of any cartridge I could buy either in France or Italy, where I do my shooting, that could get anywhere near £350 per thousand ! I am...

When I lived in Scotland I had to give referee's on three occasions for both firearms and shotgun certs... none of them was ever approach for a reference ??? I was a referee for a couple of applications... never heard from the police at all???

The problem is that a great many people shoot very good quality shotguns that are not proofed for steel ... what do they do junk them and spend another £10k+ on a new one? I can see a lot of shooters just packing it in if lead gets banned . While I am on my soapbox why are FITASC not being...

I don't know nuffin about sporting targets but why did you not shoot at any of those targets while they were rising ? It seemed to me that you had them ready to kill but chose not to shoot the target and waited until it started to fall.

Well done Phil !

The way I see it is that what happened had nothing at all to do with the licencing system but everything to do with the individual who committed the act. It does not matter how water tight people may think a licensing system is at the end of the day if an individual flips then these things will...

  UK rules do not affect me thank god but I don't think that social media monitoring would work at all. Just taking my own case in setting up a facebook account as an example. I went through the set up process and fully expected it to be just like setting up an email account or some such and I...

Agreed but what I would like to know is who is he alleged to have assaulted? If it is a random person in a pub or on the street and  the case has not gone forward I would still say that is grounds for not returning his rights to a shotgun. If it was a family member and the charges were dropped I...

These things will always happen regardless of the licensing criteria psychotics will flip. I do think it odd that he had an accusation of assault levelled against him and they let him have his guns back.    

Trust are a Spanish cartridge and they are good the T4 pro super trap is one of their top cartridges so €216 or about £184 ish is really good value. Rio are another cartridge made in Spain that I use from time to time the Star Team Evo is their top cartridge and I pay about €228 or £194  per...

I used to shoot with the cheapest cartridges I could buy but I now only shoot good quality cartridges. I am using Trust right now T4 super trap which were bought through the club at 216€ (£184) per thou . I don't use many cartridges probably 150 per week so I use good quality mainly because they...

Like many sports I think you have to be there and be in the zone as it were. DK looked as though he was going to throw that silver away! He is at an age where chances like he made will not come around again he really should have won the gold with out a shoot off... funny old game🤣
