At Last - Great Shooting weather! Decided on a quiet Sunday so Victoria and I wandered down to one of our regular Sunday shoots - Crazy Bear. It was under clear blue sky and bright sunshine; warm enough to wear a shirt, vest and no waders! Must confess I had thought we were going to be stuck...

Hi, I regularly use a bore snake as a quick clean after a shoot or while I am away travelling with the gun. Both of mine are now really dirty and pretty soaked in oil.  Do I just buy replacements or can they be washed/soaked to give them a longer life. Both seem to be in good condition. ...

Hi, As someone who uses only Gamebore Cartridges I am very pleased to report that we have a new dealer that has started to carry the Gamebore range of Cartridges. Emmett & Stone Country Sports now offer a decent selection of Gamebore Cartridges and are more than happy to take orders for...

Hi, Guess this has been covered before! I currently shoot a 30" Sporter and have been considering a change and thought a move to a similar but longer barrel might be one option. What other than the obvious (2" closer to target) would be the key differences?

Always good news! We have a new Sunday shoot based in Waterperry, Oxfordshire. Its first shoot was today (Sunday 21 July). Shooting was from 10am to 2pm with the last card at 12:30. Normal format: 100 birds over 10 stands and you could opt to shoot 50, 80 or 100. 100 cost £24 which is very...

Hi All, Can anyone tell me if this shoot is still on, does it have a web site? does anyone have any details about it?

Hi all, a bit of guidance required. I was out at a local shoot today, finished shooting was giving my gun a quick wipe over with a gun cloth prior to it going in to the slip for the drive home and the bead simply pulled off under the cloth. I managed to salvage the bead but after inspection it...

Made it to Beverley CTC to find a very warm welcome and a challenging series of 100 birds across 12 stands. Unfortunately due to the adverse weather recently the stands were all in the trap area which made for a lot of similar targets favouring the trap shooters (particularly the skeet shot, of...

Hi Everyone, My wife and I are, as some of you know, pretty new to the sport but having been getting out and about shooting both registered and non-registered shoots coupled with lessons etc. etc. Loving every minute of the sport. We are based down in Buckinghamshire but find that we are...

My wife and I visited one of our local shoots today, have been meaning to for a while but today seemed ideal, not lots on as far as registered locally, disgusting weather all day yesterday so lots of localised flooding so too dangerous to plan a long trip. so you can imagine our surprise when we...

Hi, Does anyone know of a source of Gamebore White Gold Originals (28g 7.5 Fibre) in or near Beaconsfield/High Wycombe? I know Just Cartridges handle them but that's a bit of a hike!

Hi Everyone, As a new shooter I am keen to find out the problems connected to travelling with your gun(s). I have planned a couple of overnight trips one of them will be easy as I am shooting at the same ground over two days and will be able to store our guns in their Gunroom overnight. We...

Hi Everyone, seems a friendly and helpful group. My wife (Victoria) and I (Dave) are very new to the sport. We are both inexperienced but very keen. We have recently got our SGC and now have new Browning B725s mine a 30" Sporter and hers a 28" Hunter. I've had mine extended to 16" lop and...
