Oh dear! One food/drink stall sounds about right for Pilford or 3 Lions. Doesn't sound all that good between hundreds of competitors and others. Salopian, as I'm writing this in France and thoroughly enjoying everything French it's difficult to embrace the comment about "typically French". But...

Your dog doesn't bring home any undesirables? What on earth is wrong with the animal?

in all fairness complicated bows have been around much earlier than the seventies. 

Sailing has been a big part of my fairly recent past. But none of this stinkboat nonsense, proper rag 'n stick stuff racing in Poole Harbour. Less so now, I still have a small Westerley Pageant but naturally don't race her.

Shootinguru, I stand corrected. That was an interesting video...

Indeed, Westley. But on here you can't miss 'em! Do you remember the Bols Snippen Club? I never got even a tie, never mind the silver badge!

Snipe gets my vote...

I find it hard to believe that Graham wouldn't have thought of traps to try out the guns. There are quite a few I'm sure down at his Shooting School only eight miles away by road. Perhaps the firms concerned hadn't thought to factor that in? I haven't been there to have a look, as I said...

I look forward to that, shootinguru. I have not managed to visit despite an intention to do so.

No I was there. We started early. I can't say I covered myself with glory, but couldn't stay for another round. Had to content myself with a 35. Good to see them trying the six stand layout, I reckoned it was a good selection of targets today. My excuse today is tactical sneezing by a member of...

FreeShot you're right I should have taken them back, laziness prevented it. I'm now shooting odd boxes of stuff from local shoots as I'm carefully avoiding having a stock. Quite impressed with the Greenfield Atoms I tried last weekend. Otherwise I've been using Express Sporter and I quite like...

I've just finished a couple of slabs of Sovereign fibre, and I must say I was very pleased to see the back of them. I have no problem with pattern or cleanliness or anything connected to their ballistic properties. It's just the dam' things didn't fit properly in my gun! No kidding, the...

Actually Jan I find the lighter barrel on my Outlander makes it rather more pointable (as in "quick to point"), rather than less so. It is a little less stable. My Outlander will cycle light loads (24 gm) but with an auto there's absolutely no point using a light load anyway as recoil is much...

When shooting rabbit targets in local competitions they are frequently set up in such a manner that they leap into the air as they encounter rubber mat or some such with a crease or bump in it. This bump is often missed by the rabbit, which carries on in a flat run across the ground. Given the...

Jolly well done Dorset Police Firearms Licensing Team, and thank you for my super-fast renewal, which arrived in the post yesterday. Super efficient, as well as super helpful, cheerful, and polite.  Other Forces take note - that is how it can, and should, be done!

Aperture sight, indeed. But with respect I think the problem here is the Op is using the head; surely it should be the tail. Naturally the opposite is true in the Southern Hemisphere.

Pleasant morning at Pilford, quite a few there. Again I'm afflicted with lack of concentration and the occasional snatched shot, but the biggest challenge for me today was the four inch rabbit in the six inch grass! I'm sure the rabbits will have rolled it flat by the time Schmokinn does his...

I think you'll find that the CPSA already know about it!

It's a good point you raise there Hamster. It's frustrating to enter even a local small shoot and then wait ages to find out what the winning score was. It's nothing to do with actually winning anything - round here the small ones might hand out a trophy of some sort or a bottle of wine or a box...

Bizarre then that he has not long ago suggested I visit the self same ground. That's not having a pop it's a recommendation!
