It is all to do with air resistance, when the shot leaves the barrel the outside pellets of the shot column are subjected air resistance (drag). These pellets start to spin and fly off leaving the pellet next to them now subjected to air resistance and so on. The idea of the choke is to...

The problem in the UK is our libel laws compared to other countries. In the UK if you call someone a cheat then if they decide to go legal you would have to prove they were in fact a cheat in a court of law. If the witness gets cold feet about court, threatened with a civil suit themselves or...

Allegations of cheating are very hard to prove.  Is it a genuine mistake by the ref / refs or something more nefarious by the competitor.  Investigation then right of reply to those findings take time and It was brought to the attention of the NSCA after the shoot was over hence the delay...

Here is my thought process when I bought mine... http://www.shootclayforum.com/topic/14571-i-have-bought-a-new-gun/ Now I have owned it for a while I still love it and the DT10 has gone.  If I was buying now I probably would have  the same question about  paying a bit more for the Invictus...

Someone bothered to work out the maths for it once, you would have to have a gun swing speed of several hundred miles per hour and breaking the sound barrier to make a minimal difference. Add to that if you are using plastic wads the cup will not have even opened so will move the shot with the...

You get the rough with the smooth in this game and it is always ref specific some good, some bad. I shot a true pair where a song bird came into view momentarily distracting me, I managed to hit the pair and miss the song bird. After breaking my gun, the ref said if you had missed that I’d have...

In terms of clay shooting 28” isn’t popular nowadays, the two most popular sizes are 32” and 30” I started off with 28” and have owned 30” and 32” I wouldn’t go back 28”. Not that 28" is wrong, but go to any registered shoot and 28” will be very few and far between with none of the top shots...

Invariably most new shooters that stick at the sport change their ideas about what they want from a gun as they progress. Bearing that in mind When I first started, I was given (although my father insists, I stole) a Browning Citori 325 28” and that gun was on borrowed time from day one. My...

The weight distribution alters how much force is needed to lift and move the gun due to leverage with your hand being used as the fulcrum. Think of a sledgehammer, pick it up with the head in your hand and point the shaft out then swap holding the shaft end. You will need more effort to hold the...

It’s called living in the real world, grounds are businesses with the sole intention of making money, anything that jeopardises it will turn the owners off. If there are no grounds because they are either barred or unwilling to hold CPSA events in an area then the CPSA ceases to be of any use...

Unfortunately, the CPSA need grounds more than the grounds need the CPSA. In my neck of the woods when I first started there were a plethora of registered shoots now there is just one. The grounds are all still there and still successful but had enough of the CPSA telling them how to run their...

I know I got one of the very first letters from the CPSA informing me I had failed to hand in a score card, but then so did three other guys I had shot with. I did complain to the CPSA that I and the others had handed them in and she did let it drop that I was not the first person that had rang...

I witnessed one about 20 years ago. Cartridge was a Gamebore Fibre my friend was shooting. I heard the click and a delay of not much more than a second then a muffled thud rather than a bang. As the gun was broken open shot rolled out of the end of the barrel, the wad was stuck near the...

The VTR is great fun for wheeling 😊

Having raced road bikes on the track and owned a fair few for the road including a VTR I can tell you why it’s out classed on the track or on the IOM where there are no speed limits. As a pure road bike its only flaw is range, a heavy right hand and mine was dry after 90 miles. I bought one...

Here is a post about my first month with my CG Summit Ascent back in 2015 http://www.shootclayforum.com/topic/14571-i-have-bought-a-new-gun/ I have still got it and still love it and my DT 10 has since been sold.

I was offered sponsorship a few years back when I was shooting a lot and quite active on a number of forums and Facebook. It stroked my ego for about 2 seconds. The deal was wear a sponsored skeet vest and thank the sponsor on Facebook and the forums regularly. In return I would get heavily...

Just a word of caution Browning Invector +  have a different take on what they consider choke constriction should be compared to most aftermarket choke manufacturers. Chokes have been measured in two ways for a long time. The first way is pellet count in a circle at a set distance, and the...

I have been a reference provider and never been contacted and to my knowledge my own reference has never been contacted. They probably make it up as they go along 🙄 .... I would leave it a while longer yet and then if you do contact them just ask how it is progressing rather than ask anything...
