I love this "holier than you" attitude on this subject. Glad so many are perfect. I do, of course, expect any gun owner to look after their equipment, but i really think some comments/attitudes are a bit condescending to say the least.

Like i have said, every one has an opinion. Fair enough. However,  some need to keep it to themselves if it`s not factual, or scientific, or a proven fact. Hearsay, or your opinion is not usually helpful. For those doubters that do not believe me, read...

An interesting question this, and having had a fair bit of experience in subsonics, we had interesting results from 12g 28g no7 shot, reloaded down to sub 1000FPS . suffice to say there is not the big difference you might think, out to 40m there is no discernible difference in lead or kill...

:D :D :D Did you ever see the saying " a fool and his money,,,,,,,,"

As a (retired) motor technician by trade,among other things, I recon if i won the lotto i wouldn't change from Subaru , i have had a couple of foresters, and the big bonus is it always do`s the job, starts ,gets there, gets me back, and believe me, i have been places  that 4x4`s  get towed out...

OK, so this is not my area ,Game shooting/hunting,   however, i am a member of the NT, who have a vote about drag/trail hunts on their estates, in which it is proposed that it be banned on NT estates. I am sure a lot of you are already aware of this, and hopefully any ban will fail.

An interesting article from 2014, http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-29568505  It seems that under some instances even solid lead can be toxic.  iImight have to have a test for lead poisoning, as i made shot, bullets and fishing weights for donkey`s years, the missus thinks i`m going mad from...

Thanks for info Mr Trotter  :P ,  not fake news, but as long as everyone is aware of this, no complaints later when you did sod all. ultimately they are chipping away at shooting, including target shooting. The ultimate aim is to take away ALL guns, except police and military, and of course ...

Ah, well the headline reads;     "a proposed blanket ban on all lead-based ammunition!" It is aimed at all lead ammo, not wetlands which, as said, is already covered. You all need to read this more carefully, skimming over it is misleading. The defra "investigation" was a personal vendetta by a...

 The way i tend to shoot is to look at a target and pre-decide a mental image of the gap needed as "lead" ,or distance in front of clay.  Strangely, I ,and others, see a "gap" at the clay, not at the barrel or bead, in fact they don`t exist ! it is mostly move mount shoot,with ESP you move and...

As said, don`t worry Jen! you will be fine, i know your not shy,as you`ll speak to anyone! :D   I have always shot in squadded comps in the past, great time to meet and make new friends. we can chat on Saturday!
