There are those that would have us believe you've just accurately described the difference between English Sporting and FITASC...

That Dacia/Rolls Royce comparison is a little askew, if you ask me. You have to leave a lot more room at the bottom for the Yildiz and Armsan offerings etc., you have to allow that the very cheapest Beretta is a very different thing from a DT11, and you have to think hard about the Rolls Royce...

Purbeck yesterday for me. Unexpectedly the rain had cleared up, there was a gentle breeze, and the visibility was good. I was on the afternoon squad - the shoot was not well attended, and the six of us wandered off at the appointed time. This time I wimped out and took a buggy; it can be quite a...

Dunno yet. Naturally I have little confidence that it'll actually happen!

No we shot off to the Barley Mow, where they serve Badger Best Bitter. That's the beer that my Local tells me is a bad batch and nobody is doing it right now... Are you doing the 100 bird ESP that allegedly might happen on Wednesday at Purbeck maybe? 

Went to Pilford this morning, a favourite ground of mine. It's a monthly unregistered 40-bird Sporting that a bunch of us visit, today was a Bank Holiday extra. Beautiful morning, a really good selection of targets, some quite testing in the light conditions, and a cleverly thought out Stand 4...

I too have contact lenses, and I too have occasional problems with therm. Contacts float on a tear film rather than sitting in contact with the surface of the eye, and toric lenses (to correct astigmatism) adjust themselves into the correct rotational position. If that position isn't right the...

"I had originally started looking at Blasers however I found that they recoil quite badly" Mine certainly doesn't. Nor do those of any other Blaser owner I've spoken to. Have you actually shot one?

I too have the boring ordinary one. If it got stolen or lost or abducted by aliens I would be straight round to the dealer for exactly the same again.

Pilford for me today. A good layout, among good company. This 40-bird Sporting is a great favourite of mine, and today it coincided with the Dorset County DTL Championship. As I had never shot DTL before I thought I would have a go. Great fun, but a bit of a mistake to mingle two shoots...

PP I strongly suspect that the biggest minefield could well be this business of "Gun needs to be converted back into drilling as currently the rifle barrel is converted to 410"  which if I'm understanding you correctly means a rifle/shotgun/shotgun combination has been converted to...

Like I said "around here"....

In defence of the ESP around here they may be repeated pairs but they're not "the same old crappy quartering away rubbish" in my humble opinion.

I've only shot FITASC once - at Purbeck, it was a Farmers' FITASC. I shot dreadfully badly, and couldn't for the life of me keep up with who was shooting what and in which order; the free use of gun stuff completely got the better of me, and I was astonished when everyone stopped for a sit-down...

I popped in to the Decathlon at La Glasserie just outside Cherbourg about three weeks ago, and couldn't see any very cheap cartridges there.

An excellent choice. Well done.

Stuart I'm sure you all do work very hard. I'm sure you all go beyond the call of duty. But how do we vote out the CEO?

Spare wheel gaps taken up by electric toothbrush charger and toiletries. Under the bonnet every nook and cranny will be used for my dirty laundry. Please don't give her ideas about sand...

Schmokinn, I don't think you've met MrsP. Apart from the dog, and his crate, and his food (in a freezer box because of course we can't be confident about getting him something to eat in France despite it being the umpteenth trip with him) and his toys and throws to drape over the furniture in...

Given your list above which understandably favours Mr Blaser's products I feel your absolutely best course would be to have a chat with Ian Mulliner on 01258 840 848. He knows all about Blasers, has F3 and F16 models in stock and will most probably be able to sort you out. It's also...
