One of my shooting pals, sadly now deceased, wanted a shotgun certificate so that he could go out unaccompanied on his friends farm. His home Force wanted him to install a cabinet, even though he had no plans to buy a gun at that time. He used the cabinet to store his certificate in. 🙄

It is, BUT, you are also likely to encounter this stupidity at shooting grounds, I speak from experience. I know of a couple of new shooters who have packed it in, solely due to bad experiences and attitudes of some more experienced shooters, who should have known better.

YouTube is your saviour ! 😄

Can I just clarify here.......how much shooting have you done ? I am currently Instructing a couple of people (1 being my Grandson). They have had several lessons, my Grandson has been shooting for a few years but due to his education (academic variety)getting in the way, he has not done a lot...

Here is my ten pence worth ! Do NOT dismiss the skeet range. There is no need to shoot skeet to the rules, far from it in fact. Start off at the high house, just shooting the high house birds. Once you can hit that, move to stand 2, keep on with the high bird, moving to stand 3 then 4 and so...

I have used Fiocchi F Blacks, F Blues and TT1's, along with Gamebore, Cheddite, occasional Eley and Hull Superfarts, all without any misfire issues. Some cartridges used to go off before the gun was 'on target', but I stopped using those ! 😉

I presume you have taken the pins, or in particular, the bottom pin out for cleaning and found the 'junk' in there ? Yes, the trigger has to be FULLY released between shots. I have lost count of the number of people that fail to release the trigger fully. I guy I know had his gun into a...

Which part of the Country are you in ? I take the pins out of ALL of my Browning, Miroku and Winchester guns every 6 months. The amount of hard carbon that collects on the bottom barrel pin AND it's housing is incredible. By cleaning these items (it takes around 20 minutes to do) I have never...

Whatever vest you decide to buy, I would avoid buying 'on line' unless you have previously checked the sizes. I have an XL Browning skeet vest. A current size in the same vest, to fit me is XXL . A Beretta vest is XXXL ?

Ah yes, I remember those well. Did nothing for my shooting.........or my relations with the local Fire Brigade, come to think of it ! 🤭

Others are totally oblivious of the additional weight and wonder where their new found prowess has come from. 😄 I am still unable to see that red dot in front of the target though ?? 🙄

I do wonder if, having paid a 'Kings Ransom ' for Titanium chokes, then hanging 6ozs of camera on the barrels, does defeat the object somewhat ?

For those still reading, after seeing the title, I shall risk resurrection of this topic. A while back, when I owned a ProSport I had fitted the barrel weights about 8 inches back from the muzzle. I did not fit any stock weights. YES, it made the gun barrel heavy, but, for ME, it handled...

Maybe it's because we all know that 'LEAD' will not be around for much longer ! 🤔

Have you tried gloves and a balaclava ??

I am currently shooting a gun I bought from someone who was packing up shooting. I knew the history of it, because I had taken the owner to buy it in 1992. A Classic Doubles 30" Trap gun, with 2 sets of woodwork, Trap and Sporting. I paid under £600 for the gun and 360 cartridges. It is not...

I think it is because it has recently been er...........'Steel Proofed' ! 😂

May I suggest you choose the gun that fits you the best ??

You are not the first to say that. However, I have to concede that the pics of the guns appear sharper now.
