Just found his web site, looks like it has a lot of useful info https://toddbenderintl.com/

I really need a patch as well but like the full vision to assess the flight path so I squint my left eye before I take the shot. Probably not ideal but I suffer from mono vision rather than left eye dominance. On some shots I just shut my left eye. Following Ben's video I'm settling on shooting...

@donna Interesting comment on close targets. Thankfully close targets are not really an issue for me, I straighted a low very fast incoming overhead today which could only have been about 4 or 5 meters high and very close fast crossing rabbit which was about 10 meters away. My bogey targets...

Nope - definitely 1/2 and 3/4. Shot a round today with my trusted 1/4 & 1/4. They will be left in unless I encounter an very long range target.

Thanks for all the replies

Recently I have been advised by 2 instructors, a county shooter and a GB shooter that I should tighten up and just put in 1/2 & 3/4 for sporting clays as it really helps focus lets you judge how accurate you are. This rather than shooting say sk and 1/4 unless there is a very distant target...

Update: Finally had a chance to get the adjustable comb fitted. I used Simon Willmore at Doverage who fitted a Graco adjustable comb and after a little fine adjustment I now have the stock fitting me properly. I posted the stock to him on Monday and it arrived back on Friday, excellent service.

Thanks for the very detailed reply

I see that on the Browning web site the B725 Black action has been Nitrided. Is this new and will it rub off like the blacking on a Black Edition I had. Which I guess was blued? Any info on this gratefully received

The manuals for my Browning and Miroku guns say just put a little oil on the choke threads. No grease mentioned. I do just that and clean the gun after shooting and pop out the chokes, wipe clean, oil, put back in. Never had a stuck choke to date

Thanks @MartynB

A bit of clay has taken a chunk out of my comb. The hole is about 4mm round and 3-4mm deep. Can anyone advise the best way to fill the hole. Unfortunately it's not a dent/depression so filling I think is the only option. :( It's on a grade 5 Miroku stock. Thanks

I shoot skeet with my Browning B725 30" sporter, quite successfully. This article might be of interest https://www.shootinguk.co.uk/reviews/skeet-guns-eight-of-the-best/

Looks don't break clays, gun fit does. Just my over simplified opinion, but can you shoot both first to see which fits you better?

Considered my last shoot and what I can do better at my next shoot - mainly getting better at hold and kill points and being consistent, oh, and keeping better focus on the clay. I'm sure the list could be a lot longer though ......... One thing I can't control is the ruddy wind blowing the...

Interesting thread. I wear daily varifocals but use bifocals for shooting and both work well. But I occasionally have a focus issue for mid range, 5-10 feet when wearing the bifocals and I was told that a tri-focal might help but I'm not sure whether they would impinge on distance or confuse the...

There seems to be a lot of discussion about gun balance which made me wonder what people prefer, whether it is a discipline thing or just personal preference. I was wondering what people prefer and why?

@westley - looking really good, worth the time investment. @Hermit - hmm, apart from rubbing it down with 00 I have only oiled it twice and it is much better, not had time for a full refurb but it is much better.

Just read this entire thread - knackered now..... I am no expert and just enjoy my shooting SC and skeet, but I couldn't believe what I was reading. So much vitriol at times. I know a few friends who have been to Ben for coaching and a couple more than once. All have nothing but positive...
