For us clay bashers does weight matter? Is there such a thing as "too light" or to the other extreme "too heavy" Balance does offset weight in that a heavy gun can feel / move easier than its dead weight so in my mind its not such straightforward question.

Has anyone seen / handled one of the "new" 688's the usual suspects been on You Tube, these videos / content do though appear to be getting a bit on the bland (comfortable) side. It appears to be a budget gun and one wonders what anyone can really do to bring in (other than the laminate ) any...

Coleys today, a full house / sell out (180 places I think) that's really impressive for a winter mid week shoot, far cry from the 30/35 of us in the early days. Weather cold / overcast, nothing at all like the forecast, no wind but a slight misty drizzle now and then, or was it low cloud, er no...

In need of cobweb blowing before Coleys so popped into a very busy Barbury this am, sadly no Fiocchi Fibres so tried some Hull 100 Sporting (7.5s) no comments to make on the cartridge (hit stuff broke no better no worse than Id want them too etc) other than they did seem to throw a lot of...

Coleys today, only a month not seven since gun last out so not as "rusty" as I was. Shot pm, was overcast and very light almost suspended drizzle which thankfully cleared, some saw a bit of sun, not that I nor my squad of chums did. St1 a pair of orange class, I was late putting on/changing onto...

It seems the "season is over" whatever that means in an outdoor pursuit shot in all weathers, Im oft seeing a shoot, now this only refers to English Sporting described as being a "major", now me, Im of the humble and own opinion that the only "majors" are the CPSA English Open, CPSA British Open...

Well this is a slow moving thread compared with years gone by, after a summer plus not shooting went to Coleys reg today, not too warm and thankfully the threatening cloud or three that looked full of some wet stuff didn't deliver. Hit a few, some surprisingly well but as before missed some (er...

Young MrC Faulds has uploaded some content from the final shoot off, quality wise its as good as your going to get, in ones own opinion sporting clays is not really a spectacle that lends itself to being streamed.

Chap you are being rather harsh on yourself, as surely 77 in B is 👏 and not the 🙁 day you think you have had? B being “won” with a high end 80 (AA AAA territory) is not / should not be the norm

I, and to be frank not too sure many others would know or be aware of anything about this, if the chap is, and as you say its highly he is one and the same then its not a good look. Thank you for correcting me, I may be a bit too much of a soft touch with these other / multi membership types

First of all well done you on the improvement, I will though mention that I think you are being harsh on the chap that's leading B class (106ex120 = 88%), I will confess to taking peek at his stats and it very much looks like he has not shot most of those disciplines very much at all, the...

Would add that the route will take you past both The Bathurst Arms and The Colesbourne Inn should the need for fortification arise, sadly the Seven Springs has closed.

If leaving M4 at J15 Swindon use A419 up to Cirencester, using the Burford Road junction to leave A419, at then first exit junction on mini roundabout taking you towards Cirencester, at main roundabout its third exit onto A435, after approx 1 mile take a right hand at the Cheltenham Road...

Knew Dan & Emily from their time at Prescott Shooting nr Cheltenham, both were good hosts and like many “regulars” didnt hear a bad word, wish them, and the new owners of Orston all the very best

Tend to agree with you, although registered sporting appears healthy its masking the overall decline in all other events, there is a regular closure of non-cpsa grounds which go very much under the/our radar. Point 3 & 4, due to cost etc have always felt that the "market audience" for take up of...

Wish you good luck and that you enjoy every moment, it can become rather addictive. As for the Oxfordshire, if you've not been before it is indeed a lovely little ground with very friendly staff and I can heartily recommend the tea (out of a real mug none the less) and the cakes ( had many of...

A non classified entrant can shoot competition, only its a bit of a tall order to win anything doing so, shoot the few qualifying stands well and your in AA A and thats big fish territory, have a few bad stands and the upcoming stars in B & C will fly by you. Do though mention “targets only”...

CPSA are running a membership drive where the most often chosen grounds/club “wins” a trap & a pallet of clays

With a new government, with a seemingly free hand to push through whatever it takes, or doesnt take too, should we clay bashers be looking over our shoulders?

Not in loop at all, so asking, for an imaginary friend whats the sticker price for this hoped for magic wonder gun?
