Well engineered, very popular in US among skeet shooters, recently gained ground in Australia as well promoted by the distributor, Glen Walker, BUT; back up and support is rubbish. Company is run by a very individual individual who has a very peculiar take on customer service. Our Aussie...

Nearly two years ago Bob Kibblewhite got agreement that there should be discipline specific committees to advise the board on rule changes and issues related to the individual disciplines. I was nominated by the West Midlands Region to represent them and a rep from each of the other regions was...

I have a number of friends from Aus that shoot and one that is a firearms dealer so depending on what part of the country you will be in can probably organise an intro for you. From previous experience of visiting with a gun for competition I needed a permit from the state of first entry, as I...

OK folks, I may be miss-guided but first off I don't think that what SC delivered was actually an English Skeet event conducted under the rules as published by the CPSA.  So, can any of our legally qualified contributors guide me on this - I would have thought that the trade descriptions act...

Eley, game bore or saga, I've found nothing else that is worth a light on this side of the Atlantic. Would happily compete with any of these three and you shouldn't have a problem locating at least one of these. Don't waste your money on anything else.

Well done to all that took part to make this event such a success and particularly to Richard & Heather for putting it on, it takes a great deal of hard work organising these things. Congratulations on a successful event that was no doubt enjoyed by those that took part and has done good...

You really should check your facts before making a statement - the rules are clear, a target that is shot in flight is a target scored, the length of the targets flight line is also defined in the rules. The failure of SC to remove the screens made it impossible for what should have been a...

If you really want to improve your results put the cash you would spend on fancy chokes toward a few hours with Ed or another good coach. It's usually a much better return on investment if you adjust the nut on the back of the gun rather than fiddle with the bling hanging off it. On the other...

Fuz, Having discovered skeet it will not be long before you find skeet doubles, another flavour of a great game. When you do you will appreciate why we shoot those long incomers such as L3 or H5 on our side of the field. It must be said that bringing it into you can create problems but if your...

Sadly, much of the poor maintenance we see is often down to bad or no management. I hate to find traps running out part way through a round and bins overflowing with empty shells and boxes while ground staff or trappers are sat drinking tea and the ground management can't be bothered to get...

Meant to say, think your comments on Bisley were bang on the money, pity but absolutely true. It wouldn't take much effort to change things for the better but there seems little will to go for it.

Well done Fuz, welcome to the addiction of a skeet field. Will be at Notts next week so will keep an eye open for you. Shoot well, have fun and enjoy yourself.

Try Northampton Greg, local for you and good targets, plenty of folk enjoy it and not much travel for a toe in the water mate. Just don't let it distract you from your main goal!

Harley, you are going to get a slightly smaller effective patern with the 21g than you would with 28g so effectively you are creating a similar result to putting in a tighter choke. you will be reducing you're margin for error but as a previous poster points out you will get improved feedback...

Ian, It is supposedly because the ISSF have banned them. They have not seen any evidence or reasons they just know ISSF have imposed a ban so have followed like sheep without any consideration for why or any implications for their members. Ill conceived and ill considered seems a fitting...

It seems that the board of the CPSA will re-visit their ludicrous decision at their next meeting in December. They have agreed this ban without a shred of evidence being presented or considered - pure ignorance or prejudice or both. We should all be responding to this "consultation" to let...
