Wouldn't bother. Only thing ever had to have fixed on mine was to change the locking bar for the next size up to stop it dropping open on firing the second barrel. That was after 20 years of use (not by me) and not something that is an emergency think to fix, but a longer term maintenance...

E-mail CPSA directly with the photo of your scorecard and they will sort it out. I've had to do that a couple of times. Ditto. Only 96 targets, yet entered as having been shot out of 100. Again, took an e-mail to the CPSA with a photo of the card to get them to sort it. That entire shoot was...

Agree with the angles, there's rarely a crosser or looper that isn't slightly quartering or curling somehow. Smoked the first birds on 3, also dropped 2 of the A birds on 4 and first of the 2nd ones. I think I was probably being overly careful on the first as I didn't see any lead at all on...

Barrow for me as well. Shot the first two stands well, Stand 3 I could only find that battue once, but I'm not going to complain, it was a big target. Wobbled on stands 4 to 6, dropping 10 in total. They weren't that difficult, I think I started trying too hard after missing the battues and...

Horses for courses. Pick the technique that works for you for a particular target type. For me that's: - longer loopers, battues and long crossers that need a big gap I shoot maintained lead. - slower closer loopers etc that need no lead at all, just track the target and shoot at it. -...

I've got a Parcours. It gets cleaned every month or so. I rarely shoot less than twice a week. The only time it definitely does get cleaned is if it gets wet.

We had a similar issue, left home before 8am, satnav was saying less than 3 hrs. A40 closure and we got there just after 12, with a 12.15 squad start time. Maybe not having time to worry about it helped! Long day, ended up home at about 7.30pm - must admit I was knackered with the heat and all...

Been in the doldrums a bit of late, but things might have started to turn a corner. Churchills Thursday, had two poor stands in the middle, but the rest it was no more than two away. Managed to dig in and stop the little voice on my shoulder that tells me to be careful not to miss (and makes...

Nope, didn't even place. The whole concept is complete bollocks.

Also shot Barrow and dropped random 1s and 2s all the way around, as well as a few random pairs. I actual felt I was shooting quite a lot of it fairly well, but I just can't seem to find any sort of consistency at all at the moment. Finished 1 below the shoot average.

If he just wants to have some fun, a second hand ATA would be even cheaper: https://www.guntrader.uk/Guns-For-Sale/results/45fb-ecd0-008c-22de

How do they justify a £55 entry for a 100 bird shoot! My guess is that people would have gone for the novelty factor, but won't go again at that price.

Let me know where you shoot, I'm fed up with orange clays being thrown against a light blue sky everywhere I go!

They're the ones that fall off my nose. My small head rather than a fault with the glasses.

RE Rangers here. Had them five or six years. Love them. They come in different frame sizes, which means they don't fall off my nose when I'm shooting down on targets from a platform (unlike my old ones).

Not around this weekend, but I'll let you now when we're next going there. Usually shoot it practice on a Saturday morning and I'll often do the competition on a Sunday.

Nice to meet you! No swing through for me on that stand. I missed the crosser on the first pair and the third teal (stopped the gun!). Crosser was maintained all the way for me (mainly because it was curling downwards by the time I took it). First bird on stands 5, 9 and 12 and both targets on...

Agreed. I tend to do the long stuff as maintained or a sort of halfway house between maintained and pull away (I'll match a comfortable distance in front and then increase from there if it's a really huge gap). My long target game is OK, I'm fine where you've got time to create and maintain a...

I often struggle with pull away on quicker close targets. I end up struggling with hold points and spend to long matching the speed etc. The swing through I'm trying to do isn't a wild rip through the target, it's more a come up behind it slightly faster than the target then pull through to the...

Barrow as well. Straighted 4,5 and 12, but far too many random pairs away elsewhere. Also struggled on two targets, second bird on 1 and first bird on 10 - was hitting the midi crosser off the cherrypicker, but couldnt find what should have been the easy quartering target. I'm working hard to...
