Good luck Wynno, take it easy

I agree. Mr Teague hasn't missed a trick with the little tubes of "special" choke grease, I used white Lithium grease for a while but it's a bit messy

yes, and Robden (embarrassment icon) I was thinking about ported barrels

Yes but people love to buy fake Rolexes and there's a roaring trade in fake fashion gear and Perfumes, someone should do it

welcome aboard

How do you like the 694 Southern Man?

Southdown today, yes, despite the weather forecast! did anyone else get out? A mate and I drove down from North East Hampshire, we had pre-booked so decided to risk the weather. It was raining from the start of the journey, I kept looking at the sky as we headed south, hoping to see signs of it...

no, sorry

Yes it helped enormously to hit both targets with one shot, only one person in our squad hit the second clay with a second shot because it was an edge on curling away battue and it could have been taken for another piece of shrapnel. I found it a lot easier to judge breaks when standing with...

I agree Wynno, you had to get lucky on stand 6, the guy shooting before me wasn't shooting at the curling battue at all because it looked like a shard and he thought he was hitting both clays with the first shot. I made sure I shot at the position where the clays crossed and trusted to luck, I...

I had an enjoyable afternoon at Barbury Shooting School today, the threatened rain didn't materialise while I was there and a bright afternoon was enjoyed by all (although the last couple of stands were affected by the sun.) I didn't do too badly by my own standards at Barbury, I dropped three...

An interesting article, so there's very little to choose between Fibre and plastic wads (confirms what I have always thought) although in the comments it goes on to say that the merits of fibre wad cartridges are questionable in backbored guns and guns with long forcing cones. (I have both in my...

yes, wouldn't it be nice if changing chokes was so simple that you could change them at will (no pun intended) and use the perfect combination for every stand. If I'm using 1/4 and 1/2 I might change to 1/2 & 1/2 for odd long pairs but there's usually no need. Some people change frequently as...

so I see, he'll be pleased to know that I agree with him ;) I did have a lesson once, that someone paid for as a birthday present, I'm sure some more would do me some good, I had no cash to spend on that kind of thing in the early days. As Richard mentioned above, not taking an extended break...

I'd like to fit more skeet in, only because it's great practise for sporting.

thanks for that, I know I wasn't getting under the No. 2 overhead bird which is odd as I can normally get to grips with them other than that over-leading seemed to be my main issue on the day

well I straited stand 3 . . . smug?? no, not at all, I had just dropped nine on stand 2 and that had grabbed my attention somewhat! a post mortem decided I was over leading on stand 2 which should have been a lot easier than I made it, that was a truly horrible feeling. The second on stand 3...

I didn't know that George Digweed "wrote" a book, it seems to be popular going by the prices!

Must admit it's an interesting concept, a standard Unit Lead system if we can get everyone to use it at least we would all be talking the same language. I'm in the "six feet" in front of the clay camp and have no idea what people are talking about when they hold their fingers apart and say I...
