Bought 1000 Fiocchi this am, mix of fibre & plaswads as ground has fibre only policy for practice, found myself only shooting a pair of anything I immediately found “steady” whereas anything a bit of a challenge was more intense, perversely these price increases may make me more circumspect...

Having a day or two for reflection and far more chin wags about the day your bit about experience just about nails it, the new lad is young, hard working and very keen and am sure he will learn each and every day, lord knows the place has had old hands previously who also got it slightly ( and...

Now I know you all know that Teague knock out some impressive chokes, me I have an old MK38 which a choke had well and truly “stuck”  how long you ask, er over 6 possibly 7 years and yes I and a smith had tried numerous methods to shift it, and she wasn’t coming out. Wednesday by chance bumped...

That very point has been / was / is being raised, whilst not wishing to take anything away from those who are good enough to bang in these big scores grounds are different business models these days. Coleys, well Chatcome as it was started in the 80s out of a portakabin, now undergoing a major...

Majority most probably yes, they had 151 entries for a mid week shoot in winter, absolutely staggering numbers, not long ago 50 was seen as good, and most of those 151 will return. Will add there’s a bit on FB about this and other high scoring shoots which has seen polar responses. 

Coleys today, was supposed to be on at 2ish, overnight changes meant work gets in the way so not wanting to lose the entry fee raced up for a 9am start, still putting on leggings (was nasty drizzle at time which did stick around) mucking about with boots / finding cartridges as about to enter...

For non competition shooters, there’s a lot of non competitive shooters, I’m one for a start, other than the insurance aspect, and grant you there are other options for that I have to go along with you “little reason to belong to CPSA” line. However I would imagine that in this current anti gun...

Westfield, SuperSporting. 10 stands, 4 traps on each, throwing 4 singles, two report pairs one simo pair, forty different targets, blew my tiny brain, messed up most if not all, had a bit of a mare really, dont think it was overly difficult just managed start badly then get worse, however didn't...

Have looked for but cannot find much more than what was in the voting email, might pay to ask for one via your counties WM rep who is surely able to access any missing details. Voting apathy in CPSA has been going on for years, most just want to shoot & have a classification, no more. No...

Am one that needs lenses for astigmatism, normal glasses I have variofocal which adds another quirk that’s not really an option for shooting glasses. Was unaware of the limitations of contact lens options so thank you for that, also give me another excuse for all those dropped low quick crossing...

Have a pair bought through Ed Lyon’s, indeed they are very nice, bit pricey too which really restricts the colour range you can have against a set of arms and interchangeable lenses. Sadly the onset of age has also seen one’s eyesight deteriorate also, still use them ( sparingly) now but very...

Well yes as it’s been sent to I and I’d imagine all members that have chosen to be sent information by email. It’s not a full comprehensive detailed email I’d admit but it does give a summary of what’s proposed to vote yes/no on. Sadly out of the 20,000 plus members there won’t be many that...

Was also a member back in the early late 80s early 90s, can’t say had that much engagement with the CPSA at the time, now what with the jolly ( and not so jolly ) post /  internet / facebook/ twitter communication is near constant, my few instances of a need to contact CPSA have all had a quite...

Do have to agree that there’s been quite the surge in ESP reg shoots in the sunny south, and yes all very well attended, some too well attended if you get drift. Have only ventured out for practice a few times this winter, and no the places were not at busy at all and certainly not as busy as...

Garlands, compared to Westfield is as flat as a pancake, the latter has far more natural features that can be made use of

Barbury today, have (reg wise) hibernated since September, shot much much less "practice" also during that time and also had a bit of stock work on the MK38 so not really expecting much from toady. With the usual chums, well few more as we had a squad of 7 , still got round in barely 2 hours...

If a shooting ground can host a 100 esp it will have enough “real estate” and traps for FITASC. You are most probably right, and no not many grounds full stop will have a practice FITASC layout available let alone four, cannot for the life of me think why they would, little / no demand and...

Seen some, alas all look as if it was in a worked out quarry, spent enough time in those, am sure it was a spectacle and those few I know that went had an highly enjoyable time / break. 

Oh hope you are over it / well and that it sounds worse that it actually is? Please, if able do offer a more detailed report, tales are a bit thin on ground, know a few that went, good shots yes but more as a jolly it seems. The dear old yanks offer little about the event also. Back to those...

Oh you lucky chap, would imagine it was very pleasant out there in sun
