Yep, the refs looked like they didn't have much of a clue about gun safety.  Impressed that the malfunction didn't seem to faze Amber much, if at all. Nothing whacking the top lever with a screwdriver won't sort out. She'll make a decent engineer after all!!

Looked like there was an issue with the top lever?

Apologies Chippy, didn't realise we were on the same squad.  It was a pleasure watching you shoot.  I've got a photo of the whole scorecard if you need it.

Yep, it was poorly advertised. I only clocked it by going to their actual website, and it was on a scrolling banner at the top. Explains the poor turnout. I did seen something on FB, but only a couple of days ago. If there was anything earlier I didn't see it either, probably to the amount of...

Sporting Targets for me today. First midweek shoot they've done I believe.  Quite a low turn out, which was disappointing, although it did make parking easier.  Felt fairly similar to the Jack Pyke, with a bias towards close in stuff. Looking at the scores it was on the softer side, although...

Yep, Barrow dropped squaded shoots a while ago. Just turn up. Decent breakfast there too. Cash only payment IIRC.

Honesberie for me today. Bit windy but a good shoot nevertheless. I reckon most of us got robbed of a couple of birds by sudden gusts.  Chrisessig St6 r-l A bird was fast. Decided on maintained lead and to shoot it quick. Worked for me. Overlead the B bird twice, before I dialled it back a bit...

An AGL employee was injured on stand 12. Accident with a trap from what I gather. 

Shooting from up on the metal platform in the plantation, left to right crosser, then one going away from the bottom right of the "field" up towards the top right.  Two young lads on  our squad hit 6/8, but a fair few came away with 2 or 3 

Jack Pyke at Sporting Targets today. Start time of 13:20. Toasty. I was quite glad that the first 10 stands were in the "Plantation", which offered a good amount of shade. Also most stands had a water station, even some apples to munch on.  Lots of close in stuff, think I shot 8 of the first 10...

Honesberie for me too. Couple of breakdowns on stand 3 and 4, but apart from that a really enjoyable day. Only the 2nd time I've shot there, and I think it's a really nice shoot. Mind you, I thing parking in the wet might be a bit of an issue. I though stand 4? was a very clever sim pair. R-L...

Shot Cheddite today too. 1st time for me at Hunston Woods and really enjoyed it. Apart from stand 5 with the massive R-L crosser. Didn't see anyone on the previous 2 squads or mine get anywhere near it. Reckon the gun need to point into the next county to hit it. Finished up on 92, which is...

EJC for me too. Felt a bit on the easier side, although I'm not actually sure it was. Everyone on my squad got caught out on at least one stand. Not the same stand either. 2 mates of mine who normally shoot high 80's/low 90's only came in low 80's. Stand 6 seemed to be my bogey stand. For some...

Personally I'd go for a 2nd hand 525 sporter with adjustable comb, Miroku or Silver Pigeon. A lot of people change their guns after the first year, and by buying a 2nd hand popular gun, you're not going to lose much when you trade it in. My first was a 2nd hand  525SL with 30" barrels. After a...

Northampton for me today. 1st time there, really enjoyed it. Some really good targets, and 1 that I just looked at and said "wow".  Just 4 singles, which were high up left to right crossers (cant remember whether it was off of a tower or telehandler), and they had some speed on them. Full use of...

  Glad you enjoyed your first registered. After my first one I wasnt sure I was going back for a second

Same as that. Martin Myers put in an 83! Us mere mortals would be getting our pants pulled down at every stand! I'd need to be using C-RAM rather than a 12ga shotgun to get anywhere near that.

Sure can Phil.  Chicksands Clay Target Club does not run CPSA registered shoots, but in my opinion the quality and difficulty of the targets is on par with a CPSA registered shoot. The subject of whether class wins should be within the class bandings has been done to death on here. Shooters...

Chuck a sickie for AGL 🙂. It is one of my favourite registered shoots, along with EJ Churchill and Barrow (unless its really windy). Sporting Targets always used to be set on the tougher side, almost as they were determined that nobody would straight it. Unfortunately for us mere mortals, it...

At JC, (I know they're expensive) Superfast plastic £267!!! That's nuts. There are, IMO, better cartridges out there for less cash. Currently Fiocchi Fblu & 28g Gamebore Evo (both fibre and plastic)  are both at JC cheaper than Superfast. Litespeeds at £231, but OOS.
