    Gun reviews on youtube

    Regarding battery life of A13 zinc air batteries, they are expected to last in hearing aids approximately 150 hours. As @Freddypip said, this means you go for a couple of hours shooting one weekend , the batteries are likely dead the by next weekend. The A13 Battery will have a life of...

    Gun reviews on youtube

    I can’t be certain, but I’d hazard a guess the comfort issue is two fold.    First, the person/s  who make the plugs, and secondly the material hardness. I’m told that CENS use a softer silicone than Vario. CFG actually quote the shore hardness of the materials the use for the plugs. From...

    Review of “Shotgunning: The art and science” - Bob Brister ISBN-13 : 978-1602393271

    @Wonko the Sane though I admit I assumed your comments were directed at me, I certainly didn’t take them to be hurtful in anyway.  It may not always appear to be the case, but I do indeed respect the opinions and experience of all posters here. In particular those who have put in the mileage. ...

    @Freddypip I was aware of the customer service issues prior to purchasing and was actually intent on buying Vario. I’m told by a reliable source who has used both CENS without personal issue and Vario. He condemned CENS on customer service as a retailer also on sound quality poorer than Vario...

    I recently purchased the CENS DX1 on the strength of your review Lloyd. It didn’t get off to a great start customer service wise (direct from CENS website) but back on track now I hope. Probably a month or so before I get them. Hopefully all will go well.    Looking forward to the Pilla...

    COVID-19 and Game season 20/21

    Standing umpteen yards apart in Lancashire farmland 😉 Seriously though, there isn’t much a safer way to gather together than standing umpteen yards apart [outdoors]

    Yes, I suppose you could say that to be fair. Perhaps that particular analogy wasn’t the best.

    @Cosmicblue  I concur 100%   @Wonko the Sane  Indeed I believe you are correct that would take some funding. Alas I have neither time or money, but nor the inclination to better understand that which I believe I now know will be of no practical use. That is the actually thepoint I was...

    Review of “Shotgunning: The art and science” - Bob Brister ISBN-13 : 978-1602393271

    For sure, I’ve been guilty of overthinking... and under thinking too! Hopefully I’m starting to get the balance right. Certainly I no longer think about the geometry or physics other than for academic interest.  I don’t think about what chokes I should use (2x 1/2, set to bottom barrel first)...

    Phones these days are getting stupidly good. My girlfriend took the footage on her iPhone 11. The one with two lenses. I guess the light was very good that day and the targets not so far away. What amazes me is that she actually managed to frame it. Watching her trying to take a selfie is...

    Review of “Shotgunning: The art and science” - Bob Brister ISBN-13 : 978-1602393271

      “Shotgunning: The art and science” by Bob Brister was the first book on shooting that I bought and was for me at least was the obvious choice. The book is described as authority and that no other book can make the claim of being scientific, the works being based on years of testing...

    COVID-19 and Game season 20/21

    I had tentative plans to fund a sim day, but that’s just unrealistic to be honest. Actually, I can now see this continuing throughout the next twelve months. I know of one organisation that are close to the Covid-19 issue have essentially shut down until October 2021 My employers had since...

    Gordon recoil system - Gamebore Blue Diamond/Black Gold

    Update. I emailed Gamebore and got an immediate reply from Lydia who has been very helpful. The plan is to swap the remaining ones I have and get these back to Gamebore so they can check if there is a batch issue. Good companies have few faults. The best companies deal with those few faults...

    Overhead going away - Being coached by Yoda

    @Bebo I think the differences between the way you describe how you shoot and how I  shoot those same target types illustrate exactly your point and the point I’m trying to make also. I have a habit of too much gun speed, but Ed has helped my get more control over a wider range of gun speeds...

    Overhead going away - Being coached by Yoda

    Certainly Ed recognises that each individual will have certain natural tendencies. He may fine tune if it helps, or as in the case with the overhead going away, need to start from scratch, but tend not to focus on things which aren’t harming but aren’t text book. The conversation with other...

    Super Cool Clay Shooting Apparel - T-Shirts, hats and more!

    Well, I’m going to re do my last will and testament with just one clause in it. To not be seen dead in one of these gawd awful T Shirts. I figure this isn’t advertising really. Advertising is supposed to encourage customers to buy. Neither the OP or the product in my mind gets even close to...

    Overhead going away - Being coached by Yoda

    I was really struggling with the overhead going away target. I mean really struggling. As in, couldn’t break even just one. Even if you glued it to the muzzle! I have a tendency to shoot swing through. Or rather the truth is more like I have a tendency to f@#% up pull away and have to rescue it...

    Gordon recoil system - Gamebore Blue Diamond/Black Gold

    I’ll try that. I think you could be right. I haven’t experienced in the first slab I used, but this send one and third, I did. Also, interesting you said you didn’t have this experience with your Krieghoff, as the Kreighoff shooter I was with said they found the Black Gold to be so difficult to...

    Gordon recoil system - Gamebore Blue Diamond/Black Gold

    Anyone else using Gamebore Blue Diamond/Black Gold with the Gordon recoil system finding that they’re difficult to eject? Yesterday I thought there was something not quite right with my gun as it was proving really difficult to open.    I removed the forend and removed the barrels to check to...
