    European Union

    Due to my business as a construction testing laboratory I was totally against Europe a few years ago. When the British standards changed to European standards, the problem of this total integration was that what worked perfectly fine in southern Spain does not work in the highlands of Scotland...

    Ordering from castellani - Italy

    It's got two pockets, seems good quality, doesn't have any drain holes in the bottom so if wearing in a monsoon might be an issue.  If I lost it I would replace it with the same so I guess I must be happy with it.

    Changing Guns - your reasons

    My first gun was a 28” Browning 325 that I borrowed from my dad although he tends to use the term stole as I never gave it back. Seeing as I had no input into its purchase and it was ‘borrowed’ I was always going to change if the bug bit me for clay shooting. I then bought an adjustable 30”...

    Shotgun certificate application - no gun, and no cabinet

    Many moons ago I kept all my guns at my dad's farm and did not have a cabinet at home. This is the letter I got off GMP, it is quite possible other forces take a different view. Once I decided that not having my own cabinet was a right pain I installed one, the Firearms officer came out to...

    What Shooting Method ?

    Unplugged thanks for the detailed response. I have read some posts on the subject including some by David Radulovich  and I accept that I don't fully understand it. Mainly because I genuinely don't see how anyone can see the rings or ridges of a clay 45 + yards out when it's travelling at...

    What Shooting Method ?

    At the shoots you attend do you or any of the successful shooters use the hard focus just see the detail on the clay and the subconscious will take care of the rest method? As Solopian pointed out none of us over here seem to use this method, one reason given is on the decent registered shoots...

    What Shooting Method ?

    Unfortunately on the American forums it is meant literally, there are very well know coaches and shooters who do claim that they do see the rings or dimples at 40 to 50 yards, failing to see these details means you are not looking hard enough and therefore not following the method correctly...

    What Shooting Method ?

    I think all methods and hybrid variants have been around forever, I do think everything must have been tried by someone somewhere at some time, I certainly haven’t invented any.   However on the American forums some coaches seem the need to name and then try and copyright as their invention a...

    What Shooting Method ?

    I was taught pull away and maintained lead although the guy was a CPSA instructor it wasn’t paid lessons just a brew and a bacon butty and a bit of advice type thing. Now I used a combination of most methods, but I guess my go to methods are swing through and similar I guess to Will although I...

    Competition and Practice ammo?

    Personally I like to practice with what I shoot in a comp, you get used to the recoil, how the clay breaks etc.  I am not getting into the debate that more expensive automatically means better but there will be a difference in how they shoot between 24g and 28g. If you are used to something...

    Extended chokes on Maxum seized?

    My friend could not get his CG chokes out with the standard friction key that came with the CG, I also had an issue with the same key on my CG. I used my teauge friction key to remove his chokes and mine no problem.   The standard CG friction key is no good if the chokes are tight where as an...

    Countback

    That's what I and the vast majority of shooters including the young lad who's first trophy it would have been thought would happen. Unfortunately the club secretary deemed it was unfair to those who had shot early, had family / work commitments etc etc. and the whole reason they had count back...

    Countback

    I genuinely don't have an alternative apart from the order of the stands used being decided before the shoot commences and shown on a board does seem sensible. The only other issue I have seen is where some poor sod has waited at the ground all day just in case he is need for a shoot off only...

    Countback

    I have been to a shoot where the stands going to be used for count back were written on a board  in order of use before the shoot commences.   They made such a song and dance about it allegations of some type of impropriety  must have happened before at that ground.  I have lost out every time...

    Muller Chokes?

    Just to give a little context to that part of my post. On the Muller forum when people started to report the odd issue with guns other than Beretta, people pointed out the initial Muller statement that it was only Beretta chokes that were problematic was not holding water. So one reason given...

    Muller Chokes?

    A good Internet forum has to have checks and balances, someone who recommends a choke just because it gives them confidence or they like the bling will not get much in the way of negative debate. But someone who claims that buying (insert product and brand here) gives you an instant x amount of...
