First time shooting at Orston Saturday for Sportrap, agree with chesterse it was a really good experience all round.

High Lodge in Suffolk on Saturday for a non Reg “All round Sporting” 25 Compak, 25 Sportrap, 25 Sporting and 25 Super Sporting. Talking to Andrew there, the intention was to provide a gateway to competitions for new shooters and give a taste of some different disciplines. Prize money allocated...

Poor in what way??

It’s in Leicestershire,

Welcome!

I’m sure Simpsons of Newmarket stock them. I got mine from there, as above genuine Beretta black finish.

My first gun in 1988 but a fixed choke version, can’t remember the price but I think the only cheaper gun new then was a Baikal. Had it years never missed a beat. Have fun with it!!

I did wonder why I keep getting punched in the face whilst wearing my Zoli cap.

Recently bought a Z Sport, early days but very pleased so far. Build quality seems good and feels smooth and steady to shoot.

Cheers Chippy that’s a bit further out than I’d thought, probably use them a bit more and see how we go.

I know it’s what gives you the most confidence, the stands I used cyl on I hit everything so it MUST have been the choke! Different cartridges for close clays seems an faff, easier than changing a choke though…..

I’m not a big changer of chokes, just use 3/8 all the time. On a recent shoot I did put a Cylinder in for a very close target. My question is at roughly what distance does a Cylinder choke become ineffective on either a edge on or full face target? Using 28g and 7.5 shot size FBlu’s. 

Yes to my great surprise I hit them all! In fact I was so surprised I hit the first one that  I missed the first report midi looper!! I thought there was a good mix of targets there and enjoyed the shoot. Nice squad of friendly shooters as well.

It was a bit further down in the last Sportrap area, very close and medium speed so not much time to shoot it!

Have seen that Gallyons are making a english made over and under game gun, whilst well out of my budget, I’m really pleased to see another uk manufactured gun offered.
