    Those pesky rabbits

    It is interesting how rabbit is usually one of the easiest clays for beginners. It is later on when it become the bogey one. Try to close one eye (not the leading one) on close/slow rabbits - might help.

    Fibre Cartridge Recommendation

    I'd give them another chance this year, on the other hand Sovereigns are fine as well (bit heavier on the shoulder), I haven't experienced anything like Charles did - must be the batch thing - I'd make sur to turn them in in case anything isn't in order.

    Opinions on Miroku MK70?

    I am shooting one for a third year now. Mk70 felt spot on (tiny bit long LOP) right from the beginning. Learning to shoot it better I managed to get 94 ex 100 in a regional trap league. Gun is sound working - polished the pitted firing pins once, but are fine since. I added some weight in the...

    Do you use the same cartridge for everything?

    Supreme Comp 28g is a 1318 fps cartridge - yet he manages it with ease. Here is a vid I like to watch here and then, where you can see plenty of best shooting - you can see him shooting at 2:11, 9:46, 17:04... Anyway - back to the subject - on this same video you can see GD mixing White and...

    Do you use the same cartridge for everything?

    Speaking of Richard Faulds did anybody noticed how little his gun recoils or is je just managing it better than anyone else ? Looks like he is shooting subsonic 21g...any idea how does he do it?

    Mk 70 Vs Mk38

    I own a MK70 and a friend that shoots along has a 525. Both sporters GD1. The only difference I gathered is at the comb. 525 has slightly broader comb with less drop (36-56mm) while Mk70 has narrover comb with more drop (39-63 mm). MK70 comes as sporter only (in different grades), while 525...

    Hull Pro Steel 28g #7

    Well just back from a combined comp where Pro Steel played its role. I know it is childish but I just can't help it...life is great.

    Any personal goals for the 2017 season?

    Quite interesting point of view on the matter of scoring: http://www.claytargetnation-digital.com/June2017#&pageSet=40

    Using two different cartridges

    As I see it - you are facing two predictable target scenarios in trap - both with known clay position and distance. Both can be served with different setups to make it optimal - hence the two different cartridges scenario. While first shot is taken at distances that even 24g cartridge covers...

    How many of you pre mount the gun?

    Will Fitasc Compak rules allow free use of the gun, only game oriented Fitasc Game Compak and Parcours de Chasse demand so called "Fitasc" hold.

    How many of you pre mount the gun?

    Looking at the latest results from 23rd European CH Sporting is taking a Trap/Skeet route from "how many can you hit" into "not missing a single one". To keep the juices flowing there might be some restrictions on the way. 24g limit and a low gun mount being imperative?

    Budget cartridges what are they ?

    I just got a slab of those - only shot a box on a trap. 3% SB, "piston" wad, bit snappy and smell funny but burn clean and breaks are fine. Check with Cheddite guy near you to get some - price should be alright.

    How many of you pre mount the gun?

    I shoot mainly maintained lead so when shooting low mount at fast, going away birds I must adapt - mantained wouldn't get me far. I can choose between two options - either 1. When not knowing exact path of the bird I turn to "blind" instinctive trap like, with gun hold close to the trap, call...

    How many of you pre mount the gun?

    We shoot mostly Game Compak and Game trench here - where pre-mounting isn't allowed, so getting used to wouldn't be of any benefit. There are already mentioned short window targets that require anticipation approach, where you begin to lift the gun with a call - the bird is already out of the...

    Hull Pro Piston # 9 shot at the range

    It doesn't  - at least not by a big margin - it is there somewhere with Clever Bior or regular Clever T2 #8 (2.3 mm) that give ~2" greater spread from my combo at that distance. As I see Pro Piston is a very narrow dedicated shell (not a main volume do them most one) that might (due to regular...

    Hull Pro Piston # 9 shot at the range

    Arrived at the range early yesterday - remembered I was given a slab of Hull Pro Piston - gave them a try. I was mostly interested in close range pattern and efective range on given target. Here is a pattern through 3/8 Teagues at 20m (all distances lasered) - must admit I was expecting some...

    New cart's

    Just noticed I have mistaken those for Super Parcours that are fastest of their line (450 m/s) - with 420 you will be just fine. Last year I have shot a couple of carts of those (24g trap ones) - see page 3 of 6.5 SHOT thread, Started by joenash, September 26, 2015 As far as history goes -...

    New cart's

    Those S&B tend to be quite punchy - sort of Hull Sovereign Parcours - it would be nice to report back and let us know how they felt. Parcour de Chasse: http://englishsportingclays.co.uk/fitasc
