MartynB started it! :)  

and it was an automatic! :)   :)   :)   I have stamped on the brake at 50 mph forgetting that my car is auto not my works manual truck!

Not yet.

Cracking day at Kegworth for a FITASC shoot. Nice targets, good company and the weather was superb!

Yeah, right. It'll cost a fortune, break down irretrievably after 2 seasons and be made in China.

Garlands for the Compak. Great shoot very well attended. Garlands full English up to its usual standard, registration overwhelmed though, the queue was probably 40 minutes long and even arriving more than an hour before was not enough time to get in! Steve eventually just told people to go and...

Gliding, Sailing both dinghies and bigger stuff, power flying ...... all have the same challenges of attracting youth and the cost of participation. I doubt there will be any solution in the face of how we are educating and bringing up our kids. We are killing off any vestiges of individualism...

Steel shot next on the list! Recently returned from Germany where I was doing some work on one of the largest clay ground in the country. All steel shot, no lead, but the wads were still plastic. So you pick your angle I suppose. As soon as we have a felt cupped wad I can see it all becoming...

Small market in the UK. Magazines traditionally consist of more than 50% advertising, out of date event and fixture notes and well worn articles on equipment you *NEED* but mostly glossy pictures of items that are reviewed in glowing terms ( don't want to tick off the advertisers ). Has anyone...

Friday, Honsberie, Today a local charity 50 birder and even that was a stretch with North Wales Traffic, Sunday is the local club shoot, 70 supersporting, I'm booked in somewhere for Monday and can't remember where! :)   :)  

Last year some headway was made against muppets moving in to an area and trying to change long established businesses. http://theconversation.com/agent-of-change-protects-music-venues-from-noise-complaints-but-wont-stop-them-from-closing-90556 Someone should go after a few of the assessors who...

Loaded 230 receivers into the truck for delivery and installation at a ground in Germany! Ground will eventually have nearly 300 traps! Wrote some *more* software for the base station monitoring the whole lot. ( battery voltages, cycle times, carousel levels, who's on the ground etc ). ...

The FAO will want to know that the safe can't be compromised easily. Make up a close fitting block under the cabinet when it's off the ground. Stops a prybar being used with a pivot to break it off the wall. Doesn't need to be a brick wall more 'the fabric of the structure'. Putting it inside a...

Wrote even more bloody software!

Surprisingly difficult to set of a rimfire. Spent a long time once as a kid attacking some Hilti gun blanks trying to make a bang. Eventually got a bang when I stuck a nail in from the front and hit it with a rock. I still have a dark patch in the top of my left index finger although I must...

You are going to need several jumpers, long johns and a waterproof to shoot in Scotland most of the time! :)   :)   :)  

Many a true word......!

Just going through my first renewal. Had depression well before my first application and declared that on my first application. No problem. Filled in the forms, declared the incident some 10 years ago and now am having to get another declaration from the doctor. Surely if the doctor has a duty...
