And Churchill's would be a good place for it, particularly if Scotty is driving and the champagne bar is open afterwards.

Often experienced sexual assault by random strangers then Les? Funny how most of the responses to this aren't from men. https://twitter.com/Alyssa_Milano/status/919659438700670976 Also notable that David Carrick didn't admit to using his position of trust as a police officer to sexually assault...

Can vouch for Cheryl Hall.  Spotted very quickly that my trigger flinch issue wasn't in my head, was down to gun fit. New stock that fits and it's gone. She coaches all over the place as well, which is good.

I quite like Eley cartridges. Kibworth have their own cartridges made by them, Rose Golds. Haven't bought any for a few months, but they were £240 a thousand last time I got some. I don't mind Eley Selects either and they are usually fairly competitively priced.

The ref called no bird after he'd shot it in that example, so I don't see how that would apply.

AGL for the Sportrap on Saturday. Really horrendous conditions to shoot in, with some target setting that didn't take the wind into account at all.  A teal on one of the layouts was starting 50 yards out and blowing rapidly away from you.  HG was 89 and there were AAA shooters in the 70s, which...

Yup.  Bought my A400 Xcel at Doveridge and left it there for Simon to fit an adjustable comb straight away.

That's exactly the way I would expect it to be and, as far as I'm concerned, how it should be.  Not all refs are equal though 😉 I would have had the right hump about that.  If it was being shot to English Sporting rules then it doesn't matter if the no bird is shot at or not, it should be pair...

Could just call them Clays - CSA.  Might get confused with the Child Support Agency though.  I can imagine a few people getting palpitations when a letter with CSA on the envelope comes through the door!

That's exactly what should happen and has happened to me on numerous occasions, when the Ref has woken up and realised the no-bird it ends up being pair again.  I had one on sportrap at AGL on Saturday, although in that case the no bird made it much harder.  First bird was a left to right...

What happens if you don't pull the trigger and the ref doesn't agree it was a no bird - missed target? If the ref doesn't call it quick enough I shoot no birds for exactly that reason.

I hope so, but think it might be quite a while before I have another day as good as that!

Not done a Reg shoot yet this year.  Did a fair bit of practice over the Christmas period, getting used to having my o/u back and to the new stock. It's started to come back together, with shooting in the windy conditions we've had stopping me from hanging on to targets, which I was doing at the...

At Willow Farm?  I tried three.  Weird as it was, I couldn't seem to miss with the titanium one and also shot well with one of the game sideplates.  The one I most liked the look of was a more standard boxlock, but I didn't like it as much, balance was off for me and seemed nose heavy.  Having...

I too went to the super sporting at Churchill's. First reg comp with my new stock. Not a single trigger flinch, so the change worked. Unfortunately, I shot like a complete *****. Hanging on to everything, measuring lead and moving the gun in slowmo. When I stopped myself doing that I was in the...

Sad news, I always enjoyed his posts.  Condolences to his family and friends.

https://hotclays.com/ I tried this for a while when all the restrictions were in place and you weren't able to touch your score card to see what you'd got. Tracked my scores on the way around a shoot with it. Worked pretty well and covers skeet, sporting and trap.

I will do.  I've had a couple of months off reg shoots already (gun has been away getting a new stock) and probably won't do any reg sporting until March when it warms up a bit.  Am tempted by the reg super sporting at EJC on the 22nd December though.  Might go for that.

Monday / Tuesday for the main event, Sportrap Wednesday and Super Sporting Thursday.  Be the first time for me.  I've only ever shot sportrap and super sporting once each before.  Better go and try and get myself a classification in each of those before July!

Kreighoff K80 Parcours in my opinion.  Not to everyone's taste though.
