I wish they'd do comp's at the weekend.

Well it's in association with Mercedes so maybe George will drive you from stand to stand in a SLR. 

Welcome to the forum. Waiting for your SGC seems to take forever. Have you had your FEO visit yet?

87 was still top score when I left at 14:30. Managed 63 in C class which amazingly was joint second in C but they'd added it up as 62, I was birds only anyway so whatever.   Ive been to longridge a few times now but today was by far the toughest and there wasn't even any rabbits. Too tough in...

Thanks, Sian. So is that what those tannoy speaker looking things are at Coleys? I thought they were so you could hear the scorer calling a loss!

I was thinking of giving DTL a try as I've only shot Sporting since getting my licence. I think Park Farm has DTL practice in the evening, mid week so I might pop along. I was wondering about the practicality of it. Do DTL practice stands typically have someone to button and score for you? Or...

Seems like common sense.

I see justcartridges.com have them on a "bin-end"offer at "169 per 1,000 (+£15 delivery).  They list TT1's 28g plastic at £181 a thousand, for the difference of £12 a thousand I might as well stick to TT1's  (not that I buy from them anyway). I am tempted to to order a thousand but I'd prefer...

Where did you get them from? I keep hearing good things about Jocker but have never seen any for sale on my travels.

When I was 14 I refereed (although we called it "pressing and marking") at Nottingham and District  (when it was owned by the Groves) and we used to get around £15 - £20 for 6 or so hours on a Sunday and 6 or 7 quid for a Wednesday evening. You got even less if you sat in a trap house. There...

I'm near Evesham. There's some good clubs not too far away but not that many registered shoots. Longridge is only 30 mins away, Honesberie is an hour. Coley's is close but they seem to only do competitions in the week. 

The other shoot was Throckmorton (my local). Like I said, got in the top 10 in the past 2 shoots there and I guess I was starting to feel a bit cocky/confident. I was in a rush to finish so I could get to Honesberie so skipped the last stand as there was a queue, but was missing so many I wasn't...

Hi BerattaBetter. Welcome to the forum. 

What score did you get at Honesberie? It was my first time shooting there and I thought it was a really fun course (apart from a few trap break downs). I went backwards round from 12 to 1 and only dropped 2 on the first 3 stands but went seriously down hill from there. I did two shoots today and...

Number 13 please. Payment sent.

That's why I hate rabbits, their always so inconstant. Also, they always seem deceptive to the amount of lead needed.  They had a "squirrel" target at Cotswold at the weekend; a very close, very slow rabbit that was rolled down a ramp, with the trap only releasing and giving no push to the...

Very true! I have learned a lesson in thinking things through before pressing that submit button  :oops:

So could you take 2 shots at the second bird (B) if it's already established that you hit  A? Or is that just very unsportsmanlike!?

Sorry if this a question that has been answered a thousand time already but I've been told conflicting answers at different shoots. shooting ESP, A then B on report, if you hit the first target and the second is a no bird, do you take the pair again and the first kill doesn't count? i.e. A =...

I'm planning on going there tomorrow for the first time. I was just about to place an order with justcartridges, glad I held off. Do you know if south Worcester have buttoners on a Sunday?
