Cockett Farm is just up the a614 from Notts and a great friendly ground that offer sporting etc and qualified coaching. Highly recommended 

Hi I bought one last winter to do a bit of winter clays - didn't want to spend a fortune. I found it ok, warm, dry & loads of pockets! Think I paid £75 so am happy. There are a few  things however: 1) Check the size - I got a medium which I thought was too baggy, but the small was tiny. At...

I use the same that MartynB has linked, along with a fibre optic easi-hit bead. I'm left eye dom / right handed and I feel it works well for me. Certainly better than closing an eye!

Hi I've used them and find them fine. Better than muffs for comfort too. Make sure you mould them well, simply use hot water to remould. They come with foam and neoprene tips - they say foam are better but I seem to find the other tips better. Cant go wrong  for £30 imo

Thanks. Have just emailed the seller!

Hi.  Thanks, it was a standard 725 but the trap forend fitted

Hi all I've had my 725 sporter for a year or so and use it for local clays etc. It has the 'schnabel' forend which I found ok  However, just before the lockdown I had a go with a 725 fitted with a trap forend. I enjoyed it with a more chunky feel I was looking at simply getting a trap forend...

Hi I'm left eye dominant / right handed - I use a 120mm easi-hit red bead and find (along with a blurred 'spot' on my glasses over my left pupil), that I can see the red bead in my peripheral vision without it taking over! The reason on the length is it means the left eye doesn't pick up the...

Same problem here, but have gone with disposable multi focal contacts just for shooting and never 'looked' back! Cheaper than a special pair of specs for shooting too - as priced by spec savers Also wear them when on my motorcycle as specs seem to get lodged in the helmet lining

Hi I'm a noob too & go to Cockett as its local(ish) - always a good time and loads of advice and tips!

Hi. Try Joe Neville in Tansley for lessons. I've had a few and it's been a huge help as I've only been shooting 6 months

Hi all. Interview done so just need to fix the cabinet to the relevant wall and can expect the licence a couple of weeks after the ok! It was a lengthy interview because we're both into bikes..... Time to start looking at some try-before-buy sessions to pick the right gun.

 Hi all Had my local officer call me this morning - got my interview next Friday!! So that's 8ish weeks since submitting etc. He could have done it this week but I'm away working...... Just need him to give me the OK on where to install my cabinet as the wife and me have different ideas of...

Hi, will do! Am putting it on the back burner for now tho until the interview/cert but will keep you posted  Where abouts are u in Derbys? I'll prob need some further lessons too as my shooting is ..er.....crap! At least I like a challenge  I keep popping into Nevilles in Alfreton, but while...

Hi all Looking forward to getting into clay shooting - have had a few 'experience' days & applied for my licence approx. 5 weeks ago but am waiting to hear about my interview.....! In the meantime I'm stashing some cash to one side so I can get away with a better budget than the wife has...
