    New Gun Trader Web Site

    Looks like they’ve turned a bang average, yet functional, website into something that’s just not fit for purpose anymore. Hopefully the boffins will have this rectified over the weekend.

    Cabinet modifications

    Ahhh yes…I do recall your previous posts about your wife’s reservations on gun storage. You’ve done a fantastic job nonetheless. Gun Socks are a good addition… if only to protect the tight squeeze. Good luck,

    Cabinet modifications

    That’s an almighty effort Scotty and it looks like you’ve done all you can. It does beg the question though: If you’ve had to do all this to make for a more hospitable environment for your guns, surely the bigger issue is where you’ve sited your gun cabinet? Is it not possible to site in a more...

    Please read if you know a child who needs a gift this Xmas

    For those of us not on Social Media; BH Facebook Page: Over whelming response to the give away, some heart wrenching stories. A few anonymous donations have been received so more packages can be given. Surely promoting this for the next 24hrs is a worthwhile activity? More traction makes for...

    Barrel Length- How long??

    I’m keen for a 694 but truth be told, I’m pretty certain that if I got one today, in three years I’d be scratching around looking for a DT11!

    Barrel Length- How long??

    I’ve had my 30” 692 for 3 yrs and we get on just great….I just fancy maybe a 694 or DT11. Either way, need to head somewhere to try both guns at various lengths.

    Barrel Length- How long??

    Thanks for the feedback... Probably best I get the tape measure out first to save a lot of time and effort! 😀 In reality, I'm just window shopping (as we all do) so will probably decipher which gun I'd like to buy and then as many suggest, take the 30" & 32" variations for a few rounds and...

    Thanks Jan.

    Barrel Length- How long??

    So what length barrels do most shooters use for ESP and why? 30” seems to be the ‘standard’ at most clay grounds but what are the advantages of a 32” gun for you average 5’11”/13st shooter where physique isn’t really the main consideration? Thanks for your thoughts. Hermit

    Choke Choice

    I only shoot Sporting and for me it's 1/2 & 1/2. Totally fine for the longer stuff (as you'd expect) and I've broken plenty of clays at the end of my barrels too. My two bits of advice would be: Whatever choke set up you settle on, weld them in and forget about it! I think cartridge...

    Which lenses in these conditions

    Dare I say it but sometimes, just sometimes, a clear lens (or no lens at all, where permissible) is a perfectly legitimate solution to the problem.

    Cylinder choke

    When considering shot size and pellet dispersion, this is more to do with momentum than direct force application. Momentum is directly governed by mass and velocity so if you alter the mass of the projectile, you alter its ability to maintain its directional momentum. The obvious example here is...

    Cylinder choke

    Agree...and disagree. 😁 The theoretical pattern may start the same but undeniable physicals dictates that smaller, lighter projectiles will disperse at a faster rate than larger, heavier projectiles. ie 9 shot will open up faster than 6.5 shot. I do love the choke/cartridge/shot size debates...

    Cylinder choke

    I'm off the opinion that changing cartridge/shot size should be the first port of call, should you be so inclined to change your set-up relative to target presentation. In my experience, cartridge selection has a greater influence over breaks than choke changing. H

    First Club Comp

    Just enjoy yourself and try and shoot your natural and normal way. After all, it’s not like it’s the Olympic trials so just have a good Sunday competing at a sport you enjoy and have a fantastic day. H

    pilla

    Completely echo this: Just received a pair of prescription shooting glasses last week and couldn't be happier. Simon even colour matched a specific lens tint for me from an existing pair of sunglasses. Totally bespoke pair of shooting glasses from prescription to tint...and change from £170.00*...

    Commonwealth Games (it's becoming a joke)

    How squash has never been an Olympic sport has always left me totally and utterly bemused. Utter madness how some these sports, or 'events' as they are now more accurately referred to, get selected.

    Shooting after cataract surgery.

    Can't offer any advice or insight but I can certainly wish you well.  Wishing you a successful operation and speedy recovery. H

    I just use a decent combination padlock to shackle the keys together.

    Sporting shoots. Your personal accounts. 2022

    *Hearsay Warning*  I heard there was an incident on the final stand whereby one of the grounds team took a direct blow to the back of the head whilst trying to clear a trap. I assume this had implications? Hope the fella is all right now.
