Yes I'm a designer and agree it's not a great re-brand. The whole thing is unbalanced with the large thick H and the thin ULL. Also the H bears an uncanny resemblance for the History Channel H logo. 

These look great, but $695 ouch! 

thanks I may well do that, although I think it's the 27th as the reg are normally on a Friday, so depends if I can get the time off work.

I shot the Sportrap first and was shaking with nerves as there's so much to take in and think about. Actually looking back I think I did better in that than the 100 shoot. As you say I think it was the anticipation of doing well that affected my judgment and concentration. Anyway lots to work on...

Had a complete shocker! 12 on Sportrap and an appalling 32/100. Pretty disappointed with my performance, but as an experience I found it really enjoyable. Great weather, a nice selection of targets and not too much queuing. Never shot Sportrap before so that was fun, if a lot to take in! I don't...

So the time has come, entering my first comp tomorrow at the Express Masters. Trying to go with an open mind, but my biggest worry is that the targets will so much harder than I'm use to and make me realise I'm a far worse shooter than I thought. Any general comp tips? 

Well lots of good advice here, but i'm thinking I probably need a decent instructor to take a look at me and how I shoot. I really want to try and shoot both open so willing to persivere with it with some tuition. I've been told my gun fits me pretty well so don't think it's a comb problem. The...

hard to put a finger on it as it the whole thing is very inconsistent, some weeks I do better than others. At the moment my method is to try with both open on all stands and if I keep missing on a particular stand then I close one eye to see if that improves the situation. I find with both open...

Thanks for the replies all. I don't think it's an eye dominance issue, as a couple of people have checked that. I totally see why both open is the way to go, but if it doesn't work for me then won't beat myself up over it. I will continue to experiment on my next practice rounds though, but for...

I know this is a boring well trodden topic, but I'm having trouble deciding how to move forward trying to continue shooting with both eyes open. Shot casually a few times a year always with one eye closed, but after getting my own gun 15 months ago and having proper lessons I've been trying to...

How much were they for 1000? 

Not really a pet hate, but something that has annoyed me recently on practice rounds is people who come barging into a stand whilst you are in the middle of your shot and clutter around plonking their bag and gun down right next to you. When I'm waiting for a stand I hang back outside the actual...

I've always wondered what sort of revenue grounds actually generate. If done well is it a real money maker or a lot more trouble than it's worth?

Gave these a bash today, seem pretty good for the money. Does anyone know why these have suddenly popped up as a lot of places seem to stocking them. Are they a new brand/shell? 

most of what I tried seemed okay, although the Fblacks and Golds were too punchy for me. As I've only been shooting regularly for 18 months I'm probably not experienced enough to know why one shell is better for me than another, which probably explains my indecisiveness. Your advice is right...
