I took a weekend away from the registered shoots and went out to a local 100 bird sporting on Saturday and a 50 bird sporting on Sunday with the aim of figuring out some consistency issues. I finished 100 bird on 76/100 which is thereabouts my average and the 50 bird on 43/50 with 3 x 9/10, a...

Its just one of them Browning things. Fantastic guns but poor firing pins. I have two Browning guns, a 725 Prosport and a 525 game gun. Both of them have pitted/ broken bottom firing pins. The 525 pin tip broke within the first 500 cartridges. The retailer refused to entertain sending the...

You are correct, there was nothing present in the main course that would have troubled a 1/4 choke. Those B and C bird were quite something. If one had found them with the 1st shot then you'd have gotten all 6 but they did seem to be quite misleading given those who shot before and after us...

It's one of those things that without some pretty impressive camera equipment, we'll never know the answer to. I have pattern tested a few steel game cartridges in the past through 1/4 choke and I was quite disappointed in just how big the gaps in the pattern were for a 32g steel 4 compared to...

Do you ever worry about pattern on side (ish) on long targets? Example being the B and C birds in this past Sundays pool shoot at Westfield? If you shot it that is. They were fast moving L-R crossers from a tower with around half face showing at 50+ yards each. I hit 1 from around 6 of the B...

Westfield yesterday in the miserable damp and cold. Despite two (would've been if I'd entered comp) class wins in Cefn Tilla and St Dials over the last few weeks I performed dismally. I didn't really warm up until stands 10-12 but the damage had already been done. A very disappointing 70/100...

I could well be wrong but do you not have shoot a minimum of 300 registered targets prior to being given a classification? Otherwise you are given a temporary class on the day based on the score achieved against the current cut-off matrix? I can remember being placed into AA with an * next to...

Although I'm sure that it's mostly coincidence but it's sometimes quite hard to escape the thought that there are a lot out there 'gaming' the current system. I'm not sure quite how, perhaps running multiple numbers, ditching numbers and switching between CPSA, SCTA, WCTSA etc or throwing shoots...

Fairly sure I was out on the same squad as you Wynn at 11:00. The wind made conditions fairly tricky with a lot of targets swirling about the place, incomers not incoming, loopers not looping etc.. The wind also had a cruel chill to it which took some of the enjoyment away. I shot fairly well...
