Coley's started with an annoyance for me as surprised myself (and the rest of the squad) by shooting 9ex10 on stand 1 - except the ref decided to score me an 8! Now I make a point of not arguing about these things but after 12 years of reffing I know when a clay is hit. I'm not a regular at...

Dependant on where you live of course but Coley's do own brand Eley shells at reasonable prices and I can recommend their Coley Competition which is closely based on the Eley Superb. If you have to use fibres, their Coley Gold shell is pretty good too, although I find them much more thumpy than...

I'll take a leap in the dark and suggest that the course was set by Huw rather than Josh...

Probably not but you need to be fully honest on the application. We were all 14 once but in my day no one involved the cops. So welcome to the forum and I hope it all goes well for you. Feel free to post here while you're waiting for your ticket as we have a lot of accumulated knowledge between us.

Coley's is my closest ground and their new clubhouse and facilities are superb, although parking can be a bit crowded on shoot days. I've shot there many times and for a few years I was a regular at their Thursday pay and play evenings, but now I rarely shoot practice because with comps you get...

Banned for continual self promotion and endlessly arguing with anyone holding a different point of view. Sound familiar? :whistle::whistle:

He's already disappeared from Shotgun World... But then he didn't have any choice. :D :ROFLMAO:

Chokes are tapered tubes that may or may not have a parallel section. There's little to no evidence that Brand A performs better than Brand B. Some people pick snazzy looking chokes but looks don't break targets. In reality you only need to decide between extended or flush and whether or not you...

Early in my journey seeking the perfect gun I had a 30" MK 60 for a few years. As said it started life as fixed choke (1/4 & 3/4 in my case) version of the MK70 which itself was identical to the Browning 425. Back then both guns were available as either sporter or game versions. Later MK60s were...

Me too Will. Haven't shot there for a while so I'll see a few of you there.

Not exactly. It's a sort of hybrid as it still uses an inertia block and there have been lots of issues in the US when they fit sub gauge tubes for American skeet. Even though you can drop the 2nd hammer without bumping the stock when the gun is empty, they often don't reset with .410 or 28g...

As I suspect you already know there's no easy answer to that Rich. Money talks, plain and simple. In all the years I was out there reffing it was a rare shoot that didn't have at least a few non reg shooters, and for sure some have piss poor muzzle discipline. It's not funny when you get a...

I bet you just scampered round like a 10 year old Wyn (y)

Good review Martin, thanks for that. I like Gunsite and I've known Sean for years but I don't drive a 4X4 and the few hard standing areas for parking are always full. Since I don't enjoy sliding cars around in muddy fields anymore and, not for the first time, I reluctantly gave it a miss. Roll...

If you could rest your case for a couple of years that would be good too.

Peter, please stop with your constant snarky remarks and nasty digs at people you don't even know. ShootClay is not, and never has been, that sort of forum. We're all adults on here and capable of assessing the worth of advice and suggestions from others. If you really want to help shooters as...

Well done Wyn. (y) Did you say you're taking a break from shooting?

There's no doubt that you have to work for your points at Westfield. Perhaps one make up stand but most of Steve's targets are fair and shootable. Some can be fairly testing but without being at silly distances or very short windows. Personally I like shooting at both places but they're a...

I must be getting old as I looked at the forecast and decided to stay warm and dry. ;) Plus which I cleaned the car Friday and didn't want to come home from a soggy shoot with it looking like it'd been on safari. :D

Haven't shot there for over 2 years and probably won't go again. Too many fiddly targets for my taste and as you say, little if any allowance for the sun. It's more like a Sunday morning straw baler than reg sporting.
