Seeing as it’s in the CPSA rule book that it is mandatory for the ref to call out losses but optional for hits it shouldn’t be an issue as either of those options work for me. However, because I live in the real world and I know this doesn’t always happen for a variety of reasons I do like a ref...

I weighed one as I’m tight and lazy, the consistency of my tightness and laziness is beyond reproach ?.  I even measured 1 actual shot for diameter under under the microscope with a stage micrometer. Again 1 was as far as I got before  boredom set in...

I weighed an FBlack a while back...it seems I was cheating 

You can shoot pests and vermin with a section 1 so that is another issue as certain birds in certain circumstances are considered pests or vermin. Badly written act as usual no common sense typical rubbish that the shooter has to work through. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have the summit assent, love the gun. The warranty sits with the gun no paper work needed just the serial number. Had an issue with the forend coming lose but was sorted easily and quickly and very happy with the outcome . I liked it so much the DT 10 went into retirement. Personal choice...

Just for clarification the legislation is covered by Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.  Which states :- Prohibition of certain methods of killing or taking wild birds. (c)uses for the purpose of killing or taking any wild bird— (i)any bow or crossbow; (ii)any explosive other than ammunition...

No not your imagination at all, the balance and length of barrel go hand in hand which in turn alters how it swings. The longer barrel also aids pointing, I know you should never look at your barrel but it is in your peripheral vision and the longer it is the more information your brain has to...

Length of barrels is completely subjective to the shooter and personal preference on sight picture. No one can tell you which one is best for you and considering you have tried 28” and you didn’t like them you have answered your own question. The most popular length for sporting is probably 32”...

Started off with judo and made the local paper, then went on to Motocross getting a sponsorship from Bill Head Honda at Preston. I blew my knee out racing motocross so switched to road racing and road bikes. I had a bad crash at Cadwell Park putting me in hospital for a few months and the need...

I had a 682 Gold E and DT 10 I used standard, Muller and Teague.  Weight difference, added bling or placebo effect do make them worth it, if they give you confidence then definitely use them. If you are asking the question in the first place then I wouldn’t bother. Patterning chokes does depend...

I remember posting on a thread about aftermarket chokes with the exact same thought, someone asked if they were worth the extra over standard chokes and do they give better results. My answer was Weight difference, added bling or placebo effect do make them worth it, if they give you confidence...

What amazes me is on the American forum people are jumping to their defence and buying them based on the website claims alone. So the sponsorship clearly worked It's got to be :- "It increases the effective surface of the pattern by at least 80% resulting to immediate astonishing increase of...

I am sold, I'm going fro the "C1 competition reverse bell shape shot exit".... sounds a lot more impressive than the others and it offers greatly extended effective range , both closer and longer,compared to any other conventional choke tube of equivalent choke constriction.  I am not too sure...

I came across this, https://brainchokes.com/?lang=en I thought I had seen it all, looks like I was wrong about about there is not much you can do to a choke it's just a tube...    It increases the effective surface of the pattern by at least 80% so best get your orders in now. Cheered up my...

If you are practicing it is very useful to try and read the breaks as it doesn’t matter if you read it wrong but great if you read right for the memory bank. In competition, I have caveats. I was told by a friend who happens to have won his fair share of majors if you take the front end of a...

Happened a lot when I was racing motorcycles, the cheap fix was to rub the inside of the visor or googles with neat washing up liquid then wipe the excess off with kitchen roll. It worked better than a lot of the commercially available sprays back in the day but they may have improved by now...

From a scientific perspective, there are so many variables each time we shoot a clay at different grounds (thickness and composition of clay, angle, velocity and mass of shot, rotation speed of clay, position of impact and temperature etc. etc.)  any tests would be pretty pointless and anecdotal...

I never bought into the exact number 3 as like you I have seen clays with more than three holes in them and no idea how they determined clays didn’t break within less than 3 strikes or more likely to break with 3. However, the multiple strike hole theory does hold some scientific value in some...

The current rules state :- "TARGET DEFINITION “HIT” A regular target that in the opinion of the Referee only: 3.10 Has had a visible piece broken from it, is completely destroyed or, in the case of targets that are presented whole and during flight holes are seen to appear which have been...

Just to clarify to comply with home office guidance you either need two individual locks or it can be secured by just one lock to BS 362 using the methods a) b)or c) below. “8. Hinged full-length doors for rifles/shotguns, should be fitted with two locking devices fitted at points to divide...
