    Another price increase

    Just looked at JC prices for a reference. £229 for Litepeed fibres. Looks like Fiocchi are going up too 😞.  Still, not by the frequency and percentages increases the others are mugging us off by though.

    Another price increase

    If Fiocchi don't bump their prices up, then they're going to make a killing through volume of sales. I normally practice with either Hull Superfast or Fiocchi Litespeed. Just paid £196 per thousand for Litespeed fibres, the cheapest I can get Superfasts for now is about £240.  I used to shoot...

    Choke key recommendations??

    I've got a 525SL with Midas extended, and an Ultra XS with Titanium extended. Hand tightening on both, I find I need to recheck every 3 or so stands. With the Teague tapered key I've never needed to retighten or had difficulty getting them out. With the  standard Browning choke key, I managed to...

    Choke key recommendations??

    Teague tapered choke key. It looks like it wont work very well, but it does. It's a friction fit, rather than locating in notches. Its design means if you do try and overtighten your chokes it will slip, rather than overtighten. Also fits every 12G gun I've tried it on.

    Sporting Shoots 2021. Reports and discussion.

    Very true, my PB on a registered was on what I normally believe to be an average difficulty shoot (AGL), but in the worst weather I've ever shot in. Didn't matter to me what everyone else scored, it was my PB.

    Sporting Shoots 2021. Reports and discussion.

    Apologies, my last post was worded poorly .  No restriction on the amount of grounds to gain an individual classification, but the scores used to calculate the classification cut off points published quarterly could only use data from shooters who have shot more than 1 ground in that period. ...

    Sporting Shoots 2021. Reports and discussion.

    I personally don't know anyone who goes specifically to a ground because it's a really tough registered shoot, or anyone that goes to a shoot because its easy. I shoot registered shoots at grounds I don't use to practice. If I shot EJC or AGL twice a week, doing a reg shoot there would not be a...

    Sporting Shoots 2021. Reports and discussion.

    In fact if you look at A and B class, there were actually more people that scored below their class cut off than actually scored within their class band. I would normally expect approx 70-80% of AA/A/B class shooters to shoot within their class band , 10-15% to shoot above it, and 10-15% below...

    Maintained lead or pull away for skeet?

    Not much time on the clay, constant speed, constant trajectory > Maintained lead. Or so I've been taught.

    XS Pro Exquisite Forend Issue

    My XS Pro suffered from that a little bit, but not quite to that extent. More annoying was after firing both barrels the gun wouldn't open properly and I couldn't get the cartridges out. Opened enough to **** the mechanism, probably about 30 degrees. Closed the gun, then it would open fine, with...

    Wanted : Browning Titanium Invector Plus IC Choke

    Unfortunately there seems to be quite a few errors on the Browning webpages and documentation

    Wanted : Browning Titanium Invector Plus IC Choke

    Looking at pics of other XS Pro Exquisites, it looks like they all came with Midas chokes not titanium. Athough the pic on Sporter - Browning B525 clearly shows titanium. Seems odd that the standard Ultra XS Pro came with titanium and the pricier model didn't. Once minor consolation though, the...

    Browning XS Pro Exquisite Original Chokes

    I don't think any Brownings come with 3/8 choke as standard, but they definitely do them. I brought some 3/8 Midas Browning chokes for my 525 SL from Derek Lee.

    Browning XS Pro Exquisite Original Chokes

    According to this packet there is a 3/8 LM Browning titanium choke available, Pt No 1133133. Finding one for sale.... that's a different issue. I went with  Briley 3/8 titanium for mine. Found it interesting that on the choke packet is also states "Not for use with steel shot", where the Ultra...

    Sporting Shoots 2021. Reports and discussion.

    Yep, soaked at AGL too. I started just after 11am, and I think stand 3 was the only one where it wasn't hammering down. Still good fun though, and some good targets.  Shot at 79, which is a registered shoot PB for me. Miles away from the top shots there, but as long as my scores are creeping up...

    How does our classification system work?

    I know a few guys who haven't shot registered shoots for a good few years. Their classifications have been reset.

    How does our classification system work?

    At the bottom of What are classifications? - CPSA it states "Members will have their classification in any given discipline reset to ‘unclassified’ where no registered scores are recorded within a 36 month period."
