Brilliant ! You will enjoy it . Once you get into the swing of it I guarantee you will pull off some shots that will stagger you . The clays come so thick and fast that you won’t overthink you’ll just shoot .
Cheers. I hope so @MartynB ...I feel like I've been so limited with shoot time this past year, and to be truthful I've hardly managed to get out for any shooting at all... I did a Simulated Game Day last year and I was blown away how well someone can shoot without the psychological 'Count Down' clock in your head. Point and shoot....Brilliant ! You will enjoy it . Once you get into the swing of it I guarantee you will pull off some shots that will stagger you . The clays come so thick and fast that you won’t overthink you’ll just shoot .
ouch !Poked half an inch of mag spring into my thumb. Next time I want an anaesthetic first.
Wait.. what.. season? Do clays breed in France?Season starts in three weeks time. I have never shot my gun since last September so I got her out wiped down with an oily rag and took a photo... then put her back in the case. Had her six years now View attachment 8052she is 30 years old and still just a beautiful gun!
Filling a pair of the missus' tights with kitty litter (remove the missus first) does the job just as well.I bought a ‘ThoMar’ multi dry dehumidifier this week and hung it in the gun cabinet today.
It’s sold as a reusable type, it weighs around 1kg and can be regenerated on a radiator or oven, after absorbing 600g of moisture.
Fingers crossed it works as advertised.
Its a strange one Will but most clubs close beginning of September and re-open Feb/March . Of course I shoot trap I am sure the sporting clubs will be open. The weather has been so bad so far this winter that the chances to get out shooting have been few and far between anyway. I get the impression that shooting clays is something the French do when they cannot blast the hell out of fur and feather so when the hunting season starts, usually late August , the clay season ends :lol:Wait.. what.. season? Do clays breed in France?
It's my understanding that the French would have the world believe that everything breeds in France and does it in a manner superior to anyone/anywhere else. Appears to be something of a national delusion. Less disturbing but much like a number of delusions that are rampant in the USWait.. what.. season? Do clays breed in France?
You made a nice job cutting that stock with that axe and sythe on the bench thereToday, I gave the metal parts a boil wash, followed by white spirit cleaning. They're now soaking in WD40 prior to being dried, oiled or greased as appropriate and reassembled.
The woodwork cutting and rubbing down is complete and the first coat of wood stain in place.
A plate has been cut to fit and smoothed and is ready for the final fit.
Still in progress:
