Might be fun to go along and shoot the same targets without feeling the pain when it goes horribly wrong BTW I checked and there is only one layout

I did something similar while my kids were growing up, luckily the older lad developed an interest in shooting and I got back into it before it was too late. Skeet is great practise, something I do (too infrequently.) You are probably aware that you can do Pay and Play on the sporting layout at...

There's always something to catch us out. I see that anyone can do a 100 non-reg Sporting during the - "SOUTH WEST ENGLAND SPORTING TEAM SELECTION SHOOT" at Barbury this weekend, do we know if the open shoot uses the same targets as the Selection? I suspect that's a daft question 🫢

So why not use 21g . . . or a .410 hmm? 😏 🐒

I ventured up there today, doing battle with heavy traffic on the A34 in the pisistent, hissing rain, First time for me and I couldn't hit a cows bottom with a banjo. Missed 2 on stand 1 (easy going away pairs) and continued in that vein, missed all four on a couple of occasions, a baad day...

welcome back, nice to see a fellow Hampshire Hog on the site

I'd like to say that I can't be doing with faffing around with different cartridges but I'll do that on occasions too, it's against my better judgement and the best advice, but a little bit of faffing gives me confidence and I like the results. I have two pockets in my shooting vest with 8's in...

Just found my bottle of Parker Hale 009 which I must have bought 24 years ago, it's still available for £4.49 a bottle which can't be bad

Done

I have a bottle of "bore solvent" that I bought when I was rifle shooting, I was told that rifle shooters use it to remove metallic fouling from the rifling in barrels. You soak a bronze brush in the stuff and scrub the bore, leave it for a while to soak then upend the rifle onto the muzzle and...

Interesting choice, it seems the consensus is 1/4 1/4. I have a late 692 which can't be far away from 694 in performance. I use 1/4 1/2 with 8 shot and 7's in reserve (FBlacks & FBlu's recently). I use the barrel selector on most stands, using 1/2 on the longer target if there is one. Most of...

Not to my knowledge although some kind of solution would be welcome. I'm a fellow sufferer, it's easy enough to slip em off and do a quick clean up with a bar towel or something, I carry one for drying the barrels during wet weather

I went to Gunsite today, it was raining when I got there , it was overcast and spotting rain all day, not hot, just a nice temperature. Although the targets change from shoot to shoot they are much of a muchness and I am in retrograde mode on the infamous long targets of which there were at...

Good tip Mike, I just installed Adblock, now I can't see any ads but I get a message from Adblock saying 9 ads blocked!!!!  Now where can I get an app to stop Adblock messages?

I was told that GREENFIELDS GRAND PRIX RETURNS FOR 2023 at Windwhistle Farm Salisbury on 27th and 28th May 2023 Greenfields Grand Prix 2022 Winners Table | Greenfields Guns (greenfieldguns.com) I did this last year and it was worth the trip. As a one off event it's on a rolling open field site...

I think that was the one with two going away targets on report, the first from a nearby trap, fairly straightforward. The second from a further out trap, quite tricky as it was only visible between the trees. Muscle memory said a foot to the left and luckily that was the answer. stand 11 (or 12...

you should try not to hide your feelings about the place Will 🙂 I'd been away on holiday for a couple of weeks and was itching to get out so GB for me too, there was a good turn out, there were small queues on most stands which is the way I like it, i.e. where you don't have to wait for ages...

for £15 you get a purpose made product (CLL) and one bottle will last the life of the gun (or three,) why bother with alternatives just to save literally a few quid on what was a £3500 gun? If you are talking about putting in some effort, rubbing down etc. surely it deserves something a little...
