A Nat champion told me once.. 'the cartridge is better than you are, shoot cheap and shoot more'. I'm pretty sure I've never lost a clay due to the price of the cartridge, maybe I have, maybe it'd be 1 in a 1000 .. that doesn't worry me, as I'm never going to worry about it. If I were in...

update.. My medical records got back from being digitised, and the GP did the requisite form filling within a few days. I took my renewal paperwork in to Warks Police HQ myself, and handed it to a member of the licensing team around 10.30 on Thursday 24th August. We went through the submission...
