I've done a grand total of 1 registered ABT shoot and 1 registered DTL shoot. The pegs are 3m apart centre to centre. If you hit with the first barrel, you open your gun, discharge your spent cartridge and leave the one in the second barrel while you move. It's not like wandering around a...

AGL for me on Friday as well. The only high point was that I got to shoot in Sian's squad. I had a complete melt-down on stand 8, couldn't hit either of them. I did OK on both sim pairs only one away on each of those, but only managed to straight the first and last stands. Finished on a fairly...

If you want minimal mucking about, go for one of the ladies guns Bavarian mentioned. I've got a Beretta semi-auto with a Vitoria stock and the only alteration I had done was an adjustable comb as I like to see a lot of rib when I shoot. They are good for length and pitch. I personally wouldn't...

Endorse what Freddypip said, apart from the barrel length point. I'm a shortarse with a stock not much over 13 inches and my gun has 30 inch barrels without it causing any problems. As long as you can adjust to avoid it being front heavy then you should be fine with longer barrels. I very...

How much do you want to spend is the obvious first question? Personally, I'd go for a K80 Parcours with a bespoke stock (in fact, I did). However, if I didn't want to spend Kreighoff money and was starting out on my clay shooting journey I'd probably at this quite closely...

I shot Redricks as well, I found it tough, made worse by the wind. Sim pair on the first stand would have been ok in calm conditions, but when I shot it I found both birds very wind affected. The same applied on the other two sim pairs as well, although even in calm conditions I think the 2nd...

Churchills yesterday for their 2nd Reg ESP of the month. I felt they set this one considerably tougher than the last couple, confirmed by only 3 scores of 90 or more from 120 shooters, including more than 20 AA and AAA shooters. Started innocuously enough, but they ramped it up pretty quickly...

I'd recommend Cheryl Hall for gun fit, she sorted out an issue I didn't even realise I had. If you're short and have short arms then you might want to have a look at guns with stock made for female shooters. Beretta does the Vitoria stock on quite a few of their gun and that's about 13.5in I...

I did AGL yesterday as well. Probably shot it earlier than you as the rain was just starting as we finished Stand 12. I can't say I thought it was the best set of targets out there. Overly dominated by going aways and they had a couple of sim pairs that I thought were a bit daft. Other stands...

I do it, I don't even realise I'm doing it until it's pointed out to me. Not so much before calling, but when waiting for a clay to get to where I want to kill it. Don't give a f*ck if you don't like it, I've paid for my time in the stand I'll do what I want with it. Maybe if you looked at the...

Think your bad stand was 6, mine was 5. Pleasure shooting with you today. As you say, a bit softer than the last one but it wasn't a round of gimmes. Still stuff there to trip you up.

Both of those were 10 ahead of the next in class. I know, I was joint second in B on 88.

Only just spotted this thread. Really sorry to read this Will. You're a forum stalwart. Place won't be the same without you.

I wouldn't bother messing about with chokes. I shoot fixed 3/8th in both barrels and use 28gram 8s on everything. They'll break clays at 5 yards and at 75 yards if I put the shot in the right place. If I've got something really really close (inside 10 yards) I will use sometimes use piston wad...

The thin wall chokes that they use always worry me. Pretty flimsy and wouldn't take much to dent, as shown by your experience. That's mainly why I went down the fixed choke route.

Another thumbs up for Alan Rhone. Sent my gun in for it's biannual service expecting it to take at least a couple of weeks. Had it back in 6 days. I'll add Chris Potters to the list, they arranged for it to be sent off and took collection of it on return. Really efficient and didn't hang about...

Churchills yesterday for the Reg ESP. Perfect shooting weather, and they managed to avoid chucking any clays into the sun, although the last stand might have been an issue for later shooters. Enjoyed it, managed to straight the high drivens, which I was pleased with as I usually drop at least a...

Cheryl Hall sorted out the gun fit issue I didn't even know that I had. I was suffering from worsening trigger flinch that I thought was all mental. Turns out it was primarily caused by the poor fit of my stock - rolling my hand around because it didn't fit and pull up on the trigger more than...

Just seen that they do one for the pattern I've got on my K80. V tempting...

If I hadn't already bought my forever gun and had that budget I'd probably get this and spend the rest of the budget on getting a bespoke stock made. https://www.guntrader.uk/guns/shotguns/blaser/over-under/12-gauge/f3-230509143537002 Or I'd get a loan and buy a secondhand K80 parcours.
