    Rules

    Personally I'm all for the rules being enforced at every opportunity. when I was just starting I wasn't aware of the protocol for missfires, and opened my gun without calling the ref over, resulted in lost targets (simo pair). Could be deemed harsh as only a young lad but I remembered it and...

    Trigger Freeze

    As with all issues, it is not a black and white problem and there are various issues causing people problems. these include fear of missing, recoil related, visual problems, gun fit etc etc. much like eye dominance there is not a blanket approach or a one size fits all, two people with a...

    Essex Masters 2016

    We all shot this in the less than ideal conditions today. didnt seem as well received as previous years, feeling was too many short window low to ground stuff, maybe in an attempt to get people through faster? tough day to be out in it, we pretty much all have up half way round the red this...

    A Shootclay Game Day?

    I can look at opening up pegs on a couple of my days but depends how much people want to spend. If there are a few first timers then smaller days would be the way forward. currently got 4 pegs left on a 250 partridge day in October based in the midlands but again need to be quick as they tend...

    sporting mathematics

    Gun movement will have a huge impact on your perception of the lead (not actual lead of course) so it is worth bearing in mind... there are basic formulas you can use when reading clays however they are a ballpark, and knowing the lead is only part of it- how to get there is more important!

    Sponsorship

    Yes, depending on how many customers you are dealing with. If you are just getting established in coaching then you will unlikely going the self employed route, so working through a ground on a drive and drabs basis most likely. you might be able to do a full day a week to start which might be...

    Sponsorship

    All above is good advice. if you feel you are serious about it, draft a shooting CV outlining your career highlights, explain your plans for the coming season and convey what would make you a good sponsored shooter- what would they be getting out of it regards to promotion and reaching new...

    There is no 'Magic' Gun

    The correct test is bin the board, and shoot a close ish straight away and straight incommer. If you are smoking them up in a comfortable and consistent manner then your gun is good! If not I'd be looking to tweak.

    There is no 'Magic' Gun

    I think a lot of people openly enjoy buying new kit more than shooting big scores, which is just as good a reason as any if that's what floats your boat! gun fit is a tricky one because almost every person has a different view of what's "right". I remember a well thought of chap telling me how...

    Sporting with a trap gun or `vice versa

    I don't think he's under the illusion that a 7k gun will hit more than a 2k gun, but if he wants to spend 7k on something nice good for him!

    Churchill Challenge

    Shot this with a load of guys over from France after a mornings coaching. Great round, freezing cold in that wind but enjoyed it. missed a lot of rubbish toward the end, I think more through being cold but enjoyed none the less.

    i am confused

    The beauty of sporting is that you will see a hige variety of targets. it could well be that as you are fairly early on in your career and you have not moved into the joys of registered shoots yet the targets you see at club level can be tame by comparison. lots of these will be fine to shoot...
