Been donkeys since shot FITASC and no I didnt do any prep nor practice a full gun down set up, heading for a fall is understatement. Shot in the afternoon, blisteringly hot and arc weld bright, had a pair of near blackout Oakleys and still had to oft squint a bit. Some chums in squad and will...

Another Fred fan, and no he’s not offered advice, a ribbing or two well more very many but advice no. Would add if grounds took the “not welcome here” to shots who offer similar such “help”(?) to chums, better halves and in some instances clients during a reg ( no not in stand but in close...

Barbury today, overcast and not warm but not cool enough for layers, shooting with usual Barbury chums, been having an ok time of late so a hiccup was due, probably overdue and no it was not quite my type of course, I might be imagining things but lots of edge on stuff and a rabbit thrown from...

Hangmanstone today, only just managed to get in the “after 12” crowd control request, entry nr140 and fair few after I. Saw a few celebs inc MrH who gave the impression of having a decent day?  Not planned but met a regular shooting chum so in a three not on Tod. Left home twas overcast, sunny...

All valid points, all of which are frequently raised on this platform, no easy answer to any, although 5) in my experience new shooter numbers are greater from the more, er mature age bracket than “youngsters” but thats a whole different kettle of fish.  Good luck selling the 686, my first gun...

Thank you but I think the giddy heights of A are not for me, more than a Stewards Inquiry if that ever happened. Barbury today for our County Sportrap, again glorious weather in a lovely setting. The three  layouts in the open took its toll on our mature (OAPs) squad. Target wise have always...

Have I upset you at all, apols if so Oxfordshire today, earlier than expected so bumped forward into a squad of three to make a four, I was the blagger here, (as everywhere really) Lovely weather, not a cloud, not a breath of wind, lots of tree cover to keep cool(ish) under and no clay going...

SuperSporting has been a registered discipline for few months, the Owls event, like a few others around at mo are dropping registering the shoot and enhancing the prize fund accordingly. 

Ah my rather poor reply re Owls was that there much pushed thursday comp would probably entice the regular mid week shooter, 60 miles it may be but many of us motor further to some grounds, and a lot of the names there can also be seen at EJC.  The Coleys bash is as Jasper points out a three day...

Trinity’s point about the 42p a clay still holds, cartridges at £240 being reasonable. 

And the very same day just a few miles down the road Owls was full for an open comp, next week Coleys have 400+ booked in for a mid week jolly. 

Indeed it was, think it was just today though, dangling a carrot for us old donkeys. 

Oxfordshire Sportrap, I know its not ESP but its near enough. Pleasant surprise was the entry fee, seems they decided to drop it to £22.50 Comp to entice a few, don't know if it was pushed anywhere but gladly taken up. Cup of tea in a china mug, clean loos with no fear of catching anything nor...

Having reffed both ESP & FITASC it’s surprising how many shots don’t or claim not to know certain rules regarding quite a few things.

Being a (single day) England Selection shoot helped I would think 

Thank you, more so seeing you’ve only just put the Beretta World in your bag I see. 

Woozers, thats some daunting numbers, also asked what brand of cartridge? also the wad as there will be the single use plastic argument against plas-wads coming, 

CPSA scores show only ex 92? Was there a un recoverable problem with a stand?

Hopefully, team wise, all our superstars through themselves into the selection shoot process, the USA always look remarkably strong whereas have always felt a few of our shining lights appear to shy away. 

Is the 1000 a typo? staggering effort if not. These steel loads (brand?) were they plas-wad or fibres as there the growing pressure on single use plastics thats sure to come. Think you are a Briley choke user? are these all steel proof? only asking as am sure the one(s) I have says "lead only" ...
