But that’s low risk? 😂 It’s only fuel! 😂😂😂 And don’t forget, anyone can buy as much as they want too! Store it wherever they want, no license, no age limit. Although I think maybe lighter gas may have an age restriction? Or does it? Plenty of anomalies if you look for them.  Bought a pack of...

That’s good info, do Devon and Cornwall know about this? Is it time that firearms and explosives parted company in legal terms?  Does a Firearms officer really need to know or be responsible for anything or everything that can go bang?  Surely explosives in places such as quarries or mines is...

Exactly, common sense and logic are not always applicable when it comes to those who make our rules! 

Cheers mate. Well if the shells don’t cost a bomb and they break targets, happy days! 😂

You could well be right there Colin. 

Colin, I rather fear that we are all going to be in for a nasty shock, but we needn’t panic ourselves.  I’ve been a shooter of one sort or another, man and boy, almost all of my life.  We don’t need to make any knee jerk reactions, we need not panic. Why?  Simply because the general public...

By all accounts we only need to make sure ammo is safely stored, out of the way of kids and casual burglars etc. As yet we don’t need to keep ammo in a safe like FAC ammo . However I fear this will come, as maybe will limits on how much ammo we can hold.  The days of buying a few thousand...

Bit of a trek for me too, over an hour. But they have trap layouts and open mid week too, so might venture up north when it gets warmer. 😂

Welcome! Join the club, I’ve left clays a couple of times and returned . Gets harder each time I come back. Getting old is a pain in the butt. This time I’m not bothering with comps. I don’t have the money I had when I was younger and I can’t be bothered to drive miles just to win a few quid, or...

Toying with the idea of taking a trip up to Mendip Shooting Ground. They seem to shoot a variety of disciplines incl ABT and are open more days than one of my old haunts, Brook Bank.  So, anyone shot at Mendip? Is it good, bad or what?

Well I would guess that many of us are expecting to see some rather big changes in licensing and lead shot bans in the not too distant future.  With licensing, yes the police are overworked and under funded as far a gun licensing is concerned. However the system allows each police force to...

I heard, I think in the BASC magazine maybe, the HSE have gone off to think about things for a few months.  A total blanket ban on lead ammo is, given the ammo technology at the moment, not looking workable. 

Legal gun owners are a soft target and easy to find!  Well over the past few years we’ve had quite a few kamikaze politicians in this country! 😂😂😂

I couldn’t agree more mate. But sure as god made little green apples, we are going to get it in the neck and/or the pocket. 

Ah I see, cheers Jan 👍

I’m sure SGC’s are going to end up like FAC’s, or they will be similar.  We may no longer be able to have multiple shotguns unless we have enough slots on our tickets. And for that we will need to show good reason. The same could happen with the amount of ammo we are allowed to have at any...

Sounds like a common issue.

Well I’ve never done that. I had a Perazzi custom made for me, but my measurements were taken over here by a gunsmith/fitter, he then went to Italy, picked my wood and got it all sorted. Did I keep it?  The answer is no. 🤔😂 Many years ago I used to get car itch too. Lost count of how many cars...

Without us getting that itch, so many gun shops and gunmakers would have gone bust  a bloody long time ago.  I actually think I’ve really got past that itch now. Age is now well against me, so are funds these days and in the current climate I’m not about to put a lot on money into an expensive...
