    Another old chestnut!

    Lots of brands / businesses have changed / will change names, surely lots of the fixed asset branded items / consumables have a life and will all be changed / used / exhausted in due course, so the £ loss, whilst regrettable won’t be circa the £100k another has intimated? In this day of nearly...

    A question to ground owners

    Am another of the opinion that a well thought out, well run registered shoot is VFM. As others had mentioned elsewhere clay or any type of shooting is never going to be “cheap”

    Been away..................................quite a while.

    Tuppence worth, all own personal experience and by no means similar/ same as anyone else’s, we are all shapes and sizes after all. Had a DT10 sadly we didn’t get on, very much more my poor choice than the gun itself. MX2000S, had a long term hankering for one and kept for 5 years in which I...

    Sporting Rule

    In my experience it matters not if the shot has entered competition or birds only,

    Sporting Rule

    0/8, and no the horrible refs such as I wouldn’t have allowed, during a competition the stand to have been re-shot, we all know it should never occur but most understand how / why it happens.

    English Sporting 42p & up

    The closure of the cafe area was as early as 2020, the first covid shutdown saw its demise, given shootings score customer base was not alone in finding such a decision baffling / shortsighted. Oh indeed a massive investment happening, whether it will turn the places fortunes is a big gamble...

    Cartridge price increases now getting silly

    MrJ, am thinking the suggestion is that is Fiocchi & Express ( latter now owned by Fiocchi )

    English Sporting 42p & up

    You are indeed correct, it seems that an unenviable 1-2-3 is as follows EJC 47p Owls 45p Coleys 42p

    English Sporting 42p & up

    Admit have not been out and about much at all these last few months, having recently picked up my old MK38 after having a bit of stock work and so very keen to try it out called into Coleys, oh the place is undergoing a major development, a big leap of faith by its owners. Having shot quite a...

    Veterans in CPSA majors?

    Am sure the veterans category is in addition to class and you ain’t got any choice on your age category. Also Majors are competition only, no birds only option.

    For Sale: Beretta 694 sporter, excellent condition

    Have you considered using the gunshop at Banbury for moving this gun on? Craig is a very decent chap and I’d recommend having a chat with him

    Lead Shot Ban, in news again

    If the move to 24g is “agreed” one cant see the loss of 4g of shot negatively affecting clay sports whatsoever, the vast majority of us miss as the 28g load is, to be plain, in the wrong place, would we really notice the drop?

    What vest?

    Had a few over the years, Beretta (1987-2017) luckily I stayed same shape, not shooting from 1990 - 2008 might have something to do with it lasting 🤪 Musto, only 2 years before it split at numerous seams👎, unlucky really, Hull vest, made by Croots, worn in all weathers it really is top drawer...

    Sporting shoots. Your personal accounts. 2022

    One doubts the chaps that set the courses read ShootClay nor appear to appreciate that the vast majority of shoot entrants are, er “mature” and no longer have the sharp eyes of an eagle

    Sporting shoots. Your personal accounts. 2022

    Barbury today, not been out since the BO, so back to the scene of that crime as one shot that like a pill, just to show I’m consistent did again shoot like a pill. Squad of some chums plus a fresh face, friendly enough we all are, the clays felt less so, lots of orange and midis. For this old...

    Coaches / Instructors what is a “fair” rate

    Oft thought that this is a taboo subject on here, it is after all peoples careers. Having seen BenH of this parish raise the subject on FB (some may have seen, apols BenH for hijacking onto here) there have been quite a few replies, most aghast at the higher rates ( £75+ per hour) that can be...
