This is the same sort of scenario that was gone into in some of the videos I’ve watched and also some articles I’ve read.  This re application thing is a nonsense too, no set time and if someone is not fit to own a gun today, why would they be possibly fit at some future point in time and who...

A right of appeal is there for everyone, however it takes time and money which few can afford.  Devon and Cornwall have proved that the system at present is not fit for purpose.  Some FEO’s feel the same way. Home office guidelines to police forces are unfortunately open to local...

Phil it’s happened with all sorts of shooters. Until recently our regional issues didn’t make the headlines really. The Plymouth shootings have brought the whole thing into sharp focus!  It’s showing up the fact that the system at present is open to misinterpretation by individual police forces...

We’ve all said those immortal words at some point mate! 😂

Yes agreed Jan, unfortunately in Devon and Cornwall it has not been done in the correct way. This has now been admitted by them and a big review is underway it seems.  Unfortunately my county, Dorset , uses Devon and Cornwall licensing to process applications and renewals.  It’s definitely a...

Hi Jan, there are numerous cases online and on You Tube, not the crank stuff, I’m talking about legit. Admittedly most of it seems to stem from Devon and Cornwall and I know of a person that it happened to in Devon.  It took him over a year and some legal fees to get his guns back. Basically...

Sorry if this is has been posted under another post or section, but I’ve just been viewing some interviews on You Tube regarding gun seizures!  It appears that there is often no valid reason being given by police when guns are taken away and licenses revoked.  Most of the cases seem to be in...

Thank you for your input, I’m sure it will be well received. 

You ain’t wrong mate!! 😂

I’m sure any helpful and constructive info will always be well received.  As shooters we are all in the same boat, we all know that. We are a minority group. Every person in this country has the same right to protection under the law.  Regardless of race, *** , religion or gender, we share the...

Yes we are all interested in how we protect ourselves from further legislation and welcome your help and input. 

Always sad when a ground closes mate. What is the reason for the closure?  It’s rare to hear of new grounds opening up unfortunately, but in the current climate it’s understandable and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. So many issues are stacked up against shooting grounds, gun clubs and...

I think I’ve had six Perazzi’s and the same amount of Miroku’s.  Yes Perazzi’s are brilliant guns but as you say, they can cost a bit when you need repairs. My only real issues with them were v springs, I went through quite a few of those things. They are not cheap!  To date and I hope it...

Well I gotta say that I’ve had a love hate relationship with Miroku and Perazzi for decades now.  Yeah in between I’ve had various makes, all excellent guns.  For me, this is totally personal of course, I’m not going to knock any brand of gun. I will have to come down on the side of Miroku...

I used to shoot at an American air base many years ago. They had skeet , DTL , ATA trap and what they called wobble trap or bunker trap, we know it as ball trap.  Anyway, a lot of the yank ATA trap shooters used single barrel trap guns, some with very high ribs and very high stocks. I tried one...

I reckon Miroku trap guns must be one of the most used trap guns in sporting, or at least it seems that way.

Ok all you sporting guys, a question for you.  over the years I’ve noticed a lot of sporting shooting using trap guns of various makes. Some have been standard guns straight out of the box, others modified.  Some top sporting guys have used trap guns too, people such as Graham Stirzaker...

Guys, trap shooting has so many theories. I’ve shot with and against guys way above my level.  Sometimes I even got the better of one or two……..briefly 😂 My last total wipe out was against a lovely young lady trap shooter. She’s now famous.    We discussed guns, hold points, all the usual...

Well to try to answer your question. I’ve been a trap shooter since the mid 80’s.  The first thing to remember is that yes, most trap shooters will use a gun that shoots high. How high? That will vary from person to person. I don’t know about now, but DTL shooters often shot higher stocks than...

Yes you’re right! However trap guns usually have less pitch on the comb and the angle of the but plate is different. Yes on a fully adjustable stock all of these things could be altered.  The typical sporter often, but not always these days, has a slimmer forend, not usually favoured by trap...
