I went to Forhill on Sunday. I turned up late and didn't have time shoot all stands but it was great fun, met a group that was of a similar standard and were also singing the praises of 3 lakes. Forhill is totally different from what I'm used to, being in completely open fields. It was baking...

Bought new 2 months ago for £100. Fits my 30" 690 in no problem, or fits a scoped rifle. Leather has a few patches on the seams where the dye has failed (see pics) but otherwise in good condition. Sturdy leather and thick fleece inner. Accept £60 collected or meet me at a local shoot.  £70...

Gunsite is in West Kennett, south of Swindon to pre-empt the question!

So pleased for you and Pauline, Brand New. My wife is also a horsie fanatic and I always worry about her getting injured by one of her heard, especially as she is so accident prone. Not sure where you are in the West Country, but if you find yourself heading towards civilisation and want a...

Hi Chris. Just had a look at the 3 lakes website, it's only 25 minutes from me and I didn't even know it was there. Looks like they shoot on the same weekend as Throckmorton (my local) but I will definitely try to get over there at some point. Whereabouts do you shoot on alternate weekends from...

Flight following camera, following a shotgun round. I find it really interesting as I've never thought about spread in 3D; looking at a pattern plate you only see a 2D image of what's going on and I was surprised how long the spread actually is. It would be great if whoever owns this camera did...

I think you're missing my point, if they charged less I'd go there all the time and spend more money in the long run, I'm sure I'm not the only one. It might have the appeal to attract people from all over but if they had some kind of member pricing system for locals, that would help and...

Throckmorton again. Worse than last time but this weeks excuse is a scratched eye that is out of focus  :wacko: I was missing some really easy targets that I normally don't struggle with. I did manage to straight one stand though and it was the only stand where I didn't have a queue behind me...

I have really great eyesight but struggled to realise a dominate eye, it is like my brain can chose which eye is dominate but I have to think about it. Sometimes there's no problem but sometimes all I can see is the left side of the barrel. Yesterday whilst strimming I managed to launch a small...

I'm only 36 and my liver and kidneys can still take a but of punishment. I've never been in to beer or cider and always drank spirits, my tipple of choice is a Angostura 1919 rum and coke. Spirits just don't seem to effect me too much but 4 scrumpy jacks and I'm ready for bed!

Long Island Iced Tea. So good but expensive to buy all the ingredients in one go; gin, tequila, vodka, rum, triple sec, coke and lime. Great on a summers evening, I can drink it by the pint. 

For someone like me, new to the sport, this site is very useful. Someone is always ready to answer a question and you're not made to feel like an idiot for asking it. Hopefully they'll always be new people coming to this site and one day, I hope I can help them. I can understand that it might...

Red Bull goes well with vodka. I wouldn't go shooting after it though.  :)

I was shooting with a guy with something similar and thought it was great. He was an older gentleman who struggled to get around so it saved him bending down. I'm not old or unfit but I am lazy, I always end taking my gun out the slip on the first stand and then can't be bothered with putting it...

I was about to but a few thousand of these, why do you hate them so much? I can't seem to find anything cheap in my area and justcartridges seem expensive even without postage added on.

Gotta have room to swing. Boxers all the way.

Sorry to revive a 3 year-old thread but I came across this and it raised some interesting points to me. Firstly, a user comments it's expensive at 35p a clay. 3 years later it's 39p a clay, which is only a 4p increase over 3 years but it's still (in my opinion) ridiculously expensive. The...

Well if you don't mind a drive I can put you in touch with who I used but like paul b says, £100 an hour plus clays and carts is crazy for a beginner. It shouldn't be too hard to find some one local. 

Whereabouts in the country are you? Before getting my licence I was having lessons with a great instructor for around £70 for 125 clays and cartridges. Lessons would usually go on for over an hour too.

Have plans for both. Have to go easy on the scrumpies tonight.
