I don't think its just the airsoft brigade. I did hear talk of musical events, too. So even the dead parachutist will probably go...

Somerley yesterday. It was a bit too warm, one of those rare days that make me wish I had bought one of those string vest type shooting vests, but I shouldn't complain. This fifty bird layout is a firm favourite with myself and the gang with which I shoot. It's 25 simultaneous pairs, which...

Pilford this morning attracted fewer people at the start, perhaps the threat of drizzle was putting them off until it started to clear. Stand 1's first bird had a left to right looper that begged to be taken early, it fooled me twice. The second stand started with a low-ish going away shot; I...

Indeed, Schmokinn. But a wonderful display of Mr Winser's integrity and sportsmanship that deserves the very highest praise. The drama is lovingly and well described here:   http://gamebore.com/uk/news/shooters/mark-winser-silver-FITASC PS You be at Pilford on Saturday?

Today I went to the Three Lions Clay Shoot near Mannington, not far from Verwood. It's a small layout placed round what I assume may have been gravel workings, so the ground is a bit uppy-downy, there's a large pond in the middle, and there's vegetation and trees around for a very varied...

Purbeck's mid week 100 bird sporting was last Wednesday, so off I went. Squadded with a number of the "usual suspects" we were treated to a highly enjoyable layout which presented a number of tricky/interesting/awkward birds in a variety of positions. A new one for me was standing on the...

Of current interest to me as I'm due to get the ferry to France in three weeks. I understand that the ferry company takes a very dim view of petrol in cans (actually I'm with 'em on that one) so I'll just have to hope that all will be well. My dear wife thinks that we can drive to our...

I'm currently working through a batch of Lyalvales, and after the first slab or so I reckon they're fine. Less than £140 per 1000 from Purbeck Shooting School.

I am greatly relieved that I'm not actually suffering from shrinking chambers, but I'm saddened that others have suffered a similar problem. I am disgusted that such a famous name in British Shooting history should be selling such a sub-standard product. Like most of my advanced years I cut my...

Just been shooting with Olympic blues this morning. They seemed to do the job OK, and I've liked them in the past, but this time they were a bit tight in the chambers of my F3. Cartridges pushed in (they weren't dropping of their own accord) were staying proud of the breech and would foul the...

Good man, it's important not to let the side down.

I must have an odd one, then. I'll have another look tomorrow, but I'm convinced that my 32" version balances forward of the pin even with the two stock bolt weights in place - and without any barrel weights. Of course if you have denser wood (which may well be the case if you have posher/higher...

I've recently been playing with the balance weights in the stock of my F3. Straight out of the box the gun balances a tad forward of the hinge pin, and I've decided that I would like it a bit further back. The weights - there are two - sit on a threaded stock bolt and once positioned, they are...

When you start out it's sometimes difficult to grasp just how much forward allowance may be needed. I know an instructor can tell you, but if there's film of you missing four feet behind it can help, I'm sure. But I agree with you, a good shooter or coach can tell you.  I'm struggling to think...

Have to agree with ips here, I'm struggling to comprehend what there is to be patented about a camera strapped to a gun. Or strapped to anything really. As others have said, this sort of thing has been done before. I can see benefits for both instructor and student if you can actually...

"Prison tattoo" love it, absolutely love it...

Gosh. Check out the road and rail infrastructure on Google Maps! I worked in Wareham for years, and I have to say that getting there and getting out again can be a challenge.

Great news. Who will be setting the layout, do we know?

Maybe an F3 Competition Sport. You would end up with some spare beer tokens and it isn't a Trap gun.

I would like to be a sufficiently proficient shot to aspire to a bucket list such as the OP's..
