Shot there in the spring this year, very picturesque ground. BTW - there is a wild boar fenced reserve inside the range - just by that pond on the picture. When we were shooting at that layout a wild boar sow with piglets appeared 3m behind the stand...🐗 now try to focus 🤔

Some great shooting there. Josh Bridges is facing some tough cookies tomorrow. Fingers crossed, hope he pulls it through...

There is a European Championship this weekend in Piancardato (FITASC tho) - will be interesting how it turns out. I was there in spring and HOA managed to get 182/200, only 3 managed above 180 and only 10 above 170...it was hard enough.

Some guns (barrels/chokes) do not like some cartridges, maybe you found such a combination...

By all means forget any kind of method (ok Churchil might get a nod). Get a good feel of the barrels and where they are poitning - get a laser 12. ga bore sighter and practise with - looking where the gun points from the ready position through the mount, look at the laser strictly...and learn to...

Ha...good guess - in fact I just might...at least at Compak and Fitasc and will pair it with 3/4. Will give them a try on Trap as well. With steel it has already proven very well. With lead I might to choose something tighter like 3/4 and 1/1? Still early days.

Davy ask at the Teague what would they recommend - blindly I'd get 1/4 and 1/2.

Gun is going along nicely - broad and high comb with adjustment to the left goes a long way...was at the range today to get an approximate picture about the DS chokes. Measurements are rather odd: Full = .o38 LF = .o26 IM = .015 M = .009 LM = .007 IC = .002 However - here is how they...

Pulled the plug - got a 30" B725 ProTrap adjustable yesterday - was owned by an OT shooter so first thing was to lower and straighten the comb, weights from the stock were taken out, 1st round of trap went 17/25 (we shoot game trench trap - 5 stand 9m behind the trap, FITASC mount, 35 deg - 65m...

It is geting even better - since we spoke came another contender in the mix - B725 ProTrap - weight right between the MK70 and XT with regular rib, leaner body and fine fit at first glance...choices, choices...

Thanks Wonko. I am used to shoot heavy guns. I am shooting 11lb rifle offhand on combined competitions and do 100+ gun mounts almost every day and I am quite certain I will manage. I know the seller and he just quit shooting nothing else there.   Weight might help me achieve better accuracy and...

I was offered a used (like new) one. I am getting along with my MK70 just fine tho shooting a true competition gun might do me better? I have shot an old Ultra Trap with fixed chokes for 2 years before the MK70 and regret selling it since...maybe it is time to fix this? Shoulders, points and...

+ take into account the dynamics of a single gun - while it can be perfectly balanced it may still swing awfull or vice versa.

Attended FITASC Sporting in Piancardato this weekend. My last shoot was in October last year, and since we have hard winter still going on here it was my first shot this year…to say it was more than one could ask for would be an understatement. Some incredibly long and hard targets – still well...

Saying you are buying a new sporter - what was your old one and why are you looking for a new one - any particular reason based on old one? What discipline are you going to shoot, are you going to use it for game shooting as well - F16 has 76mm chambers while B725 has 70mm?

I have shot F16 but just handled a 725 Pro Sporter on Salzburg hunting show. As other said - two very different guns. When you will handle and even better - shoot both, you cannot fail to develop a preference for one or other of them. For me (I am strongly biased Browning/Miroku type) I'd take...

Beyond the looks it is the feel of oiled stock that makes it worth for me. Looking back - it takes a lot of commitment to pull it through and any improvement is measured in weeks or even months...Without this post and Salopian I'd call it a day last week, however - one week later it looks much...

Priceless - thanks!

Thank you Salopian - I will follow your lead...how should I time it? By now I am applying wax once/day, leave it for 15 mins and the polish (I am using CCL wax).
