I do believe that handsome chap shooting there is me;)

Looking forward to it, Steve always puts on a good FITASC

Back to the original theme of the thread, I'm a big believer in the KISS principle when it comes to clay shooting i.e. "Keep It Simple, Stupid". Over complicating the shot with a multitude of variables will detract from the key task of the target itself. With that in mind 99.9% of my shooting is...

Love the sound of this Will. It's very similar to a system I've been proposing to the CPSA for a few years now. As you say it eliminates the majority of concerns we hear around the shoots these days and it also makes statistical sense. I love challenging targets and our current system doesn't...

Looking to possibly shoot some of these this year. I'd prefer them to be registered so I can keep track of my scores, but that's just me. As others have said though, some people might not like what the shoots do to their averages if they're tough shoots. Certainly don't change the target quality...

Thanks for the comments guys, that's one gentlemanly wager I've won! On a personal note I couldn't care less if they're 8's or 7.5's, you still need to put the shot in the right place! I generally don't consider shot size when shooting clays. There are far more important things to consider in my...

I wonder if somebody can give a definitive answer as to whether Gamebore use British or Italian shot size in their cartridges. I was at a shoot recently and nobody could agree if their 8's were actually British 7.5's or if they were indeed 8's. I'd find it strange if a British company was...

Thanks for the response guys, I've got a pair of solid Squidgy plugs from Ultimate Ears. They're excellent in blocking noise but it can be difficult to have conversations whilst wearing them. I've also got a pair of their Reactear plugs, these are better to hear people talking but do suffer from...

Thinking of getting a pair of these, does anybody have a pair? Would be interested to hear the thoughts of people who've bought them rather than the people selling them. What are they like dealing with wind noise? Whats the battery life like? Are they any good?

I think the key to being a good "coach" is that they can tell you "why" you missed rather than "where". If you want to know how to win a world championship the only person who can tell you is a world champion obviously. But that doesn't mean that you have to be a world champion to coach. Some of...

Very tempted to shoot the Worlds this year, its likely to be an expensive trip but well worth it I'd imagine. Have people started booking hotels and flights yet? Are you staying near Le Sueur or closer to Minneapolis and traveling each day?

If you're referring to the last FITASC at Longridge Rich I feel your pain! Hair of the dog is most certainly in order Wynno!

Can you guarantee the same weather we had last time Steve? ;)

Hi Steve Can you add me to the waiting list for this one? Many Thanks Gav

I've never ventured across country to shoot Southdown so I was going to book the GB selection this week. Having read this I may have to re-think things though. I love a tough course (some shoots have gotten way too soft) but high gun being 79 is bordering on ridiculous!! They'll have to pick up...
