I shot the Beretta Worlds on Friday and 3 of our 6 man squad were shooting autos! Mind you, all 3 admitted that they were borrowed as they usually shot other brands 🤣

800 shot at the Beretta Worlds this week at EJ Churchill’s, despite the horrendous cost of food there! 

Beretta A400….but then I am biased as I’ve got one 😉

Hi V, I bought mine for my A400 from OMPS 2 bresica….just google it. Shipped direct from Italy and arrived in 3 days. Don’t bother with GMK, I asked them at the Shooting Show……I might as well have been speaking Chinese for the lack of interest they had!

Agreed, that’s the challenge.   I saw you’d posted a solid score Will. I thought that wind was brutal!

I thought yours was a solid score yesterday Will! I consider that my home course and shot 3 stands yesterday I’d never seen before 😳 Yes I believe there was only one score over 90…..a superhuman effort in my opinion. That wind…… 😳

Well I managed to sneak off early from work yesterday and shoot my 2nd registered shoot. I shot AGL in the last but one group yesterday. What a baptism of fire that was! My first mistake was thinking it would be easier than Sporting Targets last month……wrong!! Second, the gusting wind, we had...

Monopolies are never good!

Interesting subject, apologies if my views and experiences are way off or not typical of other peoples experiences, but…..having reconnected with clay shooting in the last 3 months, my experiences have been - packed shooting grounds on weekends, registered shoots that are fully booked and...

Lucky you did though Daz! I am definitely up for more of that, it helped that I was lucky to be put with a great squad that were really friendly, helpful and shot well too. Also the ref was really encouraging too. I couldn’t have asked for a more welcoming start to registered shoots. I didn’t...

I thought it was great. I can’t think of any outrageous targets. A nice balance of easy, average and hard? They didn’t throw that much from the towers, i thought there would be more?

Brilliant, thanks for the explanation Will 👍 So much like the golf handicap system, you need to put three cards in for a classification/handicap. Then you are assessed on your submit scores over a season with adjustments made accordingly.    So in the event you didn’t shoot 3 times in...

Will, dumb question of the day…..based on 100 bird sporting, what are the classification bands? Is it 95-100 AA, 90-95 A, 85-90 B and anything up to 85 C? How are the classifications divided? 80 seems high to me for C? Surely 80% is decent shooting, especially after what was said earlier about...

I had thought about the sickie to go to AGL….especially as I could hear the shooting from my office yesterday!! 😟 I know exactly where the Chicksands base is, but I didn’t know there was a shoot on it. I’ll definitely look that one up. Agreed on the Sporting Targets level of toughness but I...

Thanks Will. Phil at Redricks seems really helpful and I’ve actually just booked onto his 3rd April registered shoot. I’m lucky as Sporting Targets and Redricks are both about equal distance for me, with AGL right on my door step. Shame AGL’s registered shoots are only on Fridays, none on a weekend!

Well I’ve chosen Sporting Targets at Risley over Redricks at Sawbridgeworth for my 1st Reg shoot!! The reason for that being I’ve shot ST a few times, never shot Redricks…..right choice…..or not?

I’m no expert AW but wouldn’t that cause more of a problem if you tried to recreate the handling characteristics of you MK with your Franchi as they are at completely the opposite ends of the spectrum? Personally, I think getting them similar but not exact would mess me up?

I’m the same vmax, I alternate between my 682 gold and my a400 and don’t seem to suffer. I definitely shoot my 682 better but I’ve had that 20 years and my a400 about 3 months. I agree with Will, the two guns are so totally different and at opposite ends of the scale that it’s not as likely to...

Thanks for the insight Jan! I guess you’d have to be pretty unlucky to get a malfunctioning gun during a big comp, especially as I imagine top shooters look after/get regular services on the tools of their trade. I remember reading that George Digweed had a spare Perazzi, set up exactly the...

Interesting subject. I’d be interested to know if the top shots take a spare gun with them to the big events? And if they do, is it set up as close to their main gun as possible or are there deliberate differences? In my golfing time I had a second set of irons set up exactly the same +1”...
