gun tests

According to James Marchington, that literary genius, who has a column in a Members Magazine, we should, and I quote, "Beware of internet experts" ! I for one, will stick to reading the unbiased views of the well aquainted reviewers, on what is the epitome of the Gunmakers art. Oh, he also made reference to " a hefty dose of sarcasm" too. I presume it was another Forum he was referring to. 

I read that too, love spotting irony  :taunt:  that seems to have swooshed over his own head.

Vic in particular - what is it with that stare while pointing at a pattern plate (which apparently I never use)!

Haha! He really does have that same expression every time!

That 'face' he always has is because he's concentrating on "getting on with the job of smashing the clays as usual!"..... Blah blah blah!

 

[Hamster]

The basic specification promised much and I wasn't disappointed when shooting some rather high and wide tower birds where it coped with ease, the quarter choke reducing the clays to mere dust.

We need a Vic Harker list of cliches on here! Haha!

Who is James? I saw the little note and wondered if he was talking about Pigeon Watch. Is he a staff member of CPSA ?

Glad you all left out the other great gun reviewer....forgot the name....

Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwllll

Going to look at the little note again....see if it reads any better.....if I can find my mag. From memory it read like it was mild bitching.

Is this James a shooter? I just looked on the classifications and could not find anything?

Don't forget the Guy who is so famous that they named a 'toilet water' after him !

He's not just an "Expert" He's an "International expert" don't you know?

He has an impressive list if credentials.

I expect he has a badge too??

 

[Wonko the Sane]

"International expert"??  A nothing compared to World's Foremost Authority.  I studied with Professor Irwin Corey who knows no equal.

We don need no stinkin' badges

You've got to have a badge to be qualified. CPSA says so!!

That's all it takes to be an "Expert", outstanding in your field??

Can't find mine.

The bloody parrot ripped it to bits.

See it has a use.

This could be a new side to the shootclay empire, real gun and product reviews, plenty of capable people on the forum to deliver reviews on their specialist areas on various equipment, guns, cartridges, glasses, hearing stuff etc etc. Matt I think your missing out on a trick here!

I have refused the offer of doing gun reviews in the past for two reasons -

1. I know more about the internet than I do about guns... so it would be hard for me to say things beyond "it looks really nice", "I could clip the foreend on really easily" and "I like the lining in the case".

2. I couldn't bring myself to like everything with a hope to getting another review. I will happily carry gun reviews written by other people. 

 

[Salopian]

I think ALL gun reviews should be done by Adam Cork , Graham Stirzaker and Martin Myers.

If a gun can last a month troublefree  with Adam or Graham it is probably exceptionally well made.

Pointles giving paul120 one for review, he would not keep it long enough to voice an opinion

Bugger me...!! I have a parrot that loves it too. (It does not like the rough budgie type paper in the bottom of the big dome cage...but it loves slidey coatings...so Pull mag is perfect....and cheap.....but don't tell anyone).

Does yours talk.?

Cannot shut mine up. It reads the headlines and shouts fe -ck a lot....!!

He was sat on my shoulder when I was watching that now historic 40 minute HQ interview .....he needed a lot of retraining after that.. :wink:

He started off...when British Shooting was first mentioned and I sighed ....by screeching over and over.....'WTF......WTF.....WTF is he going on about' .....then a bit later....'get a fecking job you understand'......then.....'whose a pretty boy then'.......'pretty boy, pretty boy, pretty boy'....then bizarley for some reason he started screeching 'more ******** .....more bit tits....more ********' (think that was to do with watching the selection at the Judges houses in the American X Factor ...it seems to have affected him a lot. He did his ******** outburst in the middle of tea with the vicar the other week..!) anyway by the end of that momentus video he got him self stuck in a random screech of....

'You know you know you know...chance is good you know ....fe-ck design you know....tits tits tits....!'

Over and over again....so he had to have a week in the dark with the cover over the cage until he packed that annoying behaviour in.

He is still reading it though. (Pull mag) .....I can see him reading it from the higher perch..picking out good bits and whispering FFS.....FFS.

He is a brainy parrot but can hold a grudge if covered up for long periods, he tends to sulk....but knows not to cross me.....so he changes tack.

This morning when i asked if he was enjoying it ...he looked at me and screeched ...tnuc.

I had to laugh...a parrot with a sense of humour.

Just seen your sig:

"Listen, strange women liying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic tart."

Matt, just give the guns to ips, he will come up with whole lists of things about them!!!  :spiteful:

"Well you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!

I mean, if I went around sayin' I was an empereror just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me they'd put me away!"

;-D one of my all time favourite films!
