Honesberie for me as well. Really enjoyed it but I'll confess to have actual nerves before the first stand! The excitement of shooting after a break was something I hadn't experienced before. Stand 8 in the field really cost me, I didn't read the line of the midi properly. I ended on 78 which...

A rather lovely, long, holiday I'll be attempting to remember which way the cartridges go in the gun on Sunday at Honesberie.

I didn’t know you could hide yourself on the cpsa? How does one do that? Not that I have any desire to, just curious!

Check out the offerings from RE Ranger and also Oakley!

Glad you enjoyed it!  Ive attached their shoot dates for the season. Hope to see you at a few of them 👍

Look at the Magic Bore kit, yes its quite pricey but it does a great job. https://www.magicbore.co.uk/hand-kit 

I had an ejector fail on my 725, it's quite a distraction! Well done for hitting a second shoot! Sure Brierley Guns can sort you out?

Whilst I've not had a lesson from Will he's been more than happy to offer advice whenever I've asked; its delivered in a clear and pragmatic way. Night and day compared to some of the unsolicited 'helpful hints' I was given in my first year of shooting 😄

So you agree with me?  If you start with 18.4 and reduce it by 10 thou then it will be tighter than starting by 18.7 and reducing it by 10 thou.

No problem, @Zea! I share those two with a lot of people as they contain really great, helpful, info for new shooters.

But what about the bore size? Remember, choke constrictions are based on the bore. So a gun with a bore of 18.4 and a 1/4 choke will shoot a lot tighter than 18.7 with a 1/4 choke! ....Just to an another layer of confusion to your choices 😜

Good choice! There's a great blog written by a regular face on the competition circuit around these parts, it'll cover all you need to know! Part 1: https://gungirluk.com/2017/09/27/cpsa-competitions-part-1-im-ready-to-progress-what-is-the-cpsa-why-should-i-join/  Part...

I have to agree with you, Will. The Sunday shoots are often over subscribed due to the popularity of the sport. I make sure to book my holiday to shoot the Ian Coley Summer Series as its a very enjoyable mid week shoot. I could dedicate my whole holiday allowance and probably not be able to...

The simulated days can be a great laugh! Glad you enjoyed the day.

I'll be honest, I voted with my feet a while back when I had to fight to get my prize money. Apparently if it's not collected within 3 months it finds a different home. My suggestion to have this rule mentioned on their scores spreadsheet that goes on to Facebook didn't seem to appeal.

Some serious winds forecast for tomorrow have me questioning if a 6 hour round trip to Southdown is worth it...

Despite the weather forecast I went to Westfield, expecting the worst. I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that the traps were set with pretty much full spring to punch through and remain pretty consistent. I had a very nice card before I lost 11 birds on the last two stands 😭

There were some presentations there that I’ve not seen there before so the change was good. I enjoyed the targets as I rarely shoot stuff going down banks etc; I would say that a course like that would get tedious if it’s the same style for the whole series. I let clumsy ones go across the...

🙄😂

My fingers are crossed for better weather on Wednesday as it's the start of the 'Summer' series!
