This is one of ours when we moved - the rug had been down about 2 minutes...

Don't be daft, it's fun!!! :-)

Helice is the answer!!

^_^ yeah, yeah... Wine affecting nuance, you can win sporting more frequently with, for example, a mid nineties score, all I've ever heard is that you can't win at trap if you miss one or two clays...

I was close to changing gun, but the one that I was going to change was a gift, so it would have been wrong. I've done recurve to 90m and 100m, as well as compound to that range, both with and without sights. Per my point above, for me it was a totally different exercise, a centred bullseye is...

Westley, I think I sort of agree with you. I've yet to try the tougher trap disciplines (abt, ut, ot) but I've watched them, and I get the impression that one can walk onto a trap layout and hit a few clays, dare I say with ease, or at least without the benefit of fully understanding what...

Sorry to drag this thread back from the depths, but I figured an update was due. Since that miserable Thursday I've had time to shoot a few times: Two weeks ago I trotted down to A1 sporting layout, full of the joys of autumn and serious jetlag (which I'm using as the excuse 'cos I don't...

Thanks for arranging it, and I had hoped to go, but I just heard I'll be overseas with work that weekend. Hope you all have a great time.

Excellent stuff.  At the risk of sounding trite, I think this is such a wonderful initiative. Makes me realise that I really can't shoot for sheeeeit, but that is another story altogether.

Welcome!!!!

I learned to drive (in '95) in a 1976 BMW 3.0 csl; lovely car. Dad said it was mine when I passed my test, but apparently moving to Scotland voided the deal on the basis that it was left hand drive, and he sold it.

Probably requires the car to be going more than 30mph...

Cheaper for a reason... The Porsche's known as "a James Dean" car round this way...

Why so sure it was new? You get some amazing restorations these days, so it might have been an original... There is/was a garage somewhere near Tower Bridge that specialised in them. Mrs BTC has lusted after one for ages; currently making do with a Fiat500...

Judging from what I've seen here? Annoy people...

A1's not bad either, and might be nearer.

DogTyred - I'd be up for a trip to Rugby if I'm around. Do you want to make this the "official" ShootClay Hélice day, or are you (and others here) open to the idea of a second day at A1 next spring? I'm happy to try to set up the A1 day if there are takers. RP

Guys, gals, like so much in life, it's all about context. I play a lot less golf now than I used to, and I don't own anything made by Pringle, or belong to a golf club. My introductuon to clay shooting was made as follows: "Richard, you've got to try this. Rather than walk through a field and...

I doubt the vetting part is anywhere near a non gun-person's consideration when the word gun has clicked in that mixture of fear, concern, confusion and misunderstanding when the word gun or shooting came up. If you think that's bad, try letting someone know you tend to have a small penknife on...

SC Helice National Championship over two rounds, a la champions league? If people can travel down to A1 from around Rugby and places north, the least we southerners can do is travel up there for another go. Do we need visas for that part of the world? April 1st works for me, fool or not.
