No, the friend I am thinking of is in her twenties. I'm not going to speculate on whether she supports herself, I know she works. If she can meet the talent pathway requirements, good for her. Others I know aren't interested and have gone independently into international competition. The talent...

They did a day at Beverly some time last year.  I don't know why so many people are so down on this programme. What are you expecting that they aren't offering? You don't have to join in. They offer you help, they are clear on what you have to do - which is why I turned it down, thank you - and...

What has age got to do with it? I went, lots of people over 30 there, offered places too. 

One visit and the man went up a letter class. Coincidence? ;-) Peter is making a joke. I don't think we have ever met.

Thanks, Peter.  Charlie, I'm happy to talk if you want to get in touch via DM. There are a lot of people who do what I do, I was just the first to apply it to trigger freeze. It's a structured facilitative method and I am a facilitator who uses these structured methods with people to put them...

Freeze, flinch, yips, whatever. Looking at the list of sponsors of Phil Coley's research I should get them to sponsor my work. I certainly had more success AFAIK. And my methods stand up to peer review. 

Napier gun cleaner is great but it can leave lead build up. I was diligent about cleaning my first gun but the gunsmith said he had a lot of work to do to get the lead off. I use something nasty smelling occasionally, something with a solvent to prevent build up. I still use Napier especially...

Do the stainless steel ones taint the contents? I have a hip flask but I've never really made use of it. Never been cold enough on a shoot. I put whisky in it and the husband didn't complain about me bringing the contents back. 

Lots of shoots run under the 28 day planning rule "a form of 'permitted development' allowing land to be used without planning permission 'for any purpose for not more than 28 days in total in any calendar year...and the provision on land of any moveable structures for the purposes of the...

Women do better with 20G initially because it's easier to wield an ill-fitting 20G that an ill-fitting 12G. 

Interesting. I agree on many parts of that. I've cured trigger freeze using Traumatic Incident Reduction. What makes you say flinch is different? My theory, which I have expounded here before so I won't go on too long, is that certain unprocessed memories are reactivated and run causing flinch...

Jack of all disciplines, master of none, that's me this year. Having said that, for the very few clays I have shot I have managed to improve. I felt like I was getting better at sporting, but then I shot the County sportrap and felt like I had wasted £60. I shan't bother again. My game day went...

Barry Simpson was telling me he has a similar issue and that he raises his thumb knuckle.on the left hand side to stop his eye on that side looking down the barrel. I think that is what he said, he tells so many great stories I can't be certain, but what you said sounds very similar. 

Thanks. I was doing well by the end. It took me four stands to wake up! Nothing like shooting in the bracing cold to sharpen your reflexes. The first fast bird I completely blanked but the one on the bank at the end I was fine with. I did get my rising teal problem sorted out, which in itself...

You did fabulously. A 75 bird course that was won on 49 and you got 32, that's impressive. I expect to see you take the rosette in 2018!  It was a very decent course. Proper C class registered stuff. 

Your lecturer is a *very rude word*.  To answer your question, lots of people don't know they have dyslexia because they get very good at coping tactics. Also things like Irlen syndrome or synesthesia often run in parallel with dyslexia and can make the symptoms less consistent. I'm very...

Can't help you personally but check out Chessgrove Shooting in Longhope. Nice regular club shoot according to friends. 

In that case West Mercia are full of it. Demanding a cabinet before granting a licence is like demanding a garage before you have a driving licence. Utter rot and discriminatory against the less well off who are less likely to be home owners.

I've had enough of this.  Random man starts "coaching" me on my first ever registered. Referee starts "coaching" me when I went to shoot his stand at my County championship. Then he started on the B class lady who was next! Possibly because one of our squad (all ladies) had confided it was her...

You might catch Ben at Kibworth, which isn't too far away. I'll PM you some details about local coaches.
