    What did you do today that’s shooting related?

    Shot a charity shoot yesterday, was in second when I left with a 93/100, and reaffirmed that I HATE rabbit targets that hit oak tree roots and jump freaking backwards. ;)

    Arthritis of the neck

    I had a couple level neck fusion two years ago, and have some crepitations now.  I have found heat, advil in moderation BEFORE shooting, and a neck/back massage every few weeks helps quite a lot.  And I have had to change my stance just a bit to account for targets coming from my left.  Good luck!

    Failure to enter your card

    Indeed, I have seen "State Championship" level shoots here 'cross the pond that did not have master sheets at every stand.  Cheaters will find a way to cheat, its just "who they are."

    Pilla Prescription Costs

    Here in 'merica, the land of hyper-expensive, the RX insert (for Outlaws, without lenses) is $180 plus the cost of lenses (for which Pilla recommends Trivex lenses with an anti-glare treatment).  If you paid full suggested Pilla retail for just the single vision prescription lenses and insert...

    Failure to enter your card

    Back in the early days, here in 'merica, it was common to shoot sporting tournaments with reloads.  A penny saved is a penny earned, and so forth.  Then, folks figured out they could reload with "orange wads," and if they missed a bird, ask their "entourage": Did I hit that, I thought I saw a...

    Failure to enter your card

    Here in the 'States, if you are an NSCA member, you are required to "register" your targets, and cannot shoot "hunter's class/birds only."  How they actually enforce that, no one knows.

    Is a semi too hard to use??? (Sporting clays)

    Just for funsies, I weighed my 3 clay shooting 391's last night by stepping on/off the bathroom scale with/without gun.  All were just a hair under 10 pounds, with a bit of added weight, kick-eez pads, and adjustable combs.  I was surprised by the weight (assuming the bathroom scale is really...

    which ear plugs

    I use in-the-ear electronic plugs for clays, and most wingshooting that does not involve blowing a game call.  The compession circuit will make your duck/goose call sound like a duck buried in a mine shaft, and you will struggle to not "blow out" the birds with too much volume.  Otherwise, I...

    Varifocal or fixed?

    Single vision seems to be the most common on this side of the pond.  I sort of learned to "peer underneath" my shooting glasses to mark the scorecard.

    Is a semi too hard to use??? (Sporting clays)

    Hello!  Having owned, or now owning, higher end Beretta O/U's, Perazzi, and Krieghoff(s), I always find the notions that semi-autos handle poorly to be curious.  My favorite guns to shoot are Beretta 391's with a little weight (5 oz) added to the stock bolt.  And with the shim kits supplied with...

    UK Sporting Clays Magazines

    Thank you for the suggestions.  Now that Shotgun Sports has become nothing but re-tread articles,  we are in a bleak spot over here.  We have a new "start up" magazine here in the deep South along those lines called "Garden and Gun."  I hope it makes it, it is fairly heavy on the "Garden," and...

    UK Sporting Clays Magazines

    Hello!  Lurking Yank here.  We have NO decent clay shooting magazines here in 'merica, other than Clayshooting USA.  I already subscribe to the UK edition "Clay Shooting."  Are there any other UK sporting clays magazines to which I should look into subscribing?  Thanks!
