What is the most common format? 25 on / off? or 100 straight through?

Truth be told we live in a modern world. Many entrants now pay by plastic where they can.  How is it fair that a ground has to take payment by plastic but then pay out cash ? BSSA a few years ago (2015?) made the decision to change the format and break the mould. When you filled out your entry...

My long time favourite is - Old Tom.

IMO if it was me then you would want to show them a ground with great natural topography coupled with good targets / facilities. The classical "English Sporting Ground". I am no sporting shooter but grounds on my list would be:- (despite some being outside your defined area) Grimesthorpe...

Yes. BUT...... The annual membership is much less than here.  $30 with a e-zine OR $40 with a printed magazine.  NSSA (skeet) do the same thing - although the target fees are only 0.04 a target instead of 0.07. It is actually a model i like as if you shoot less your annual fees are less...

I am as bad as anyone for wanting to find value in anything and seeking out a deal. The last thing anyone wants is to overpay for the same product they can get elsewhere but...... Also its key to look at it from a grounds perspective. They hear shooters complain about traps breaking, no birds...

I asked the very same question of AGL for the English open course as i like the ground a lot and have shot there a few times..... but i have no desire to pay over the odds to "donate" to better shooters than myself over a course i would highly unlikely be competitive on in my class.  Sadly not...

Mickey Dore 395/400 so i was told yesterday.

Yes + his registered English Skeet & English Skeet Doubles with the CPSA + his practice.

Apologies for the delayed reply been away on holiday. Glad you enjoyed and a nice start. Nice to hear you will  be shooting a bit more registered skeet. May well pop up myself next weekend now i am back. 

Straight through all on one layout. Take all your ammo + a few spares and put it on the table by the high house. Then as you walk from 7 to 1 you grab the next box and be ready to go again. Let us know how you get on.

I could type a million things but no point as for a first go at a new discipline only one thing matters...... have fun and enjoy.  I would say make it known its your first time shooting the discipline (albeit and experienced shot) and do not go first on the squad.... then just play follow the...

Well i never - i was about to call "Bullsh*t" but something made me check. European targets - 110mm (i only checked CCI / Promatic) White Flyer - 108mm White flyer do make an "International / Olympic" version which is 110mm / 105grams to meet ISSF stipulations.  Guess everyday is a school...

To get this back on topic slightly..... Those who shoot "High Volume" deserve huge credit as whatever discipline they do it in shows a massive amount of dedication and in order to achieve the target numbers they do it's a must to shoot all year around in some terrible conditions. You all get a...

And i have never got why..... sure from a selling in single boxes of 25 it helps define the brand on the shelf and maybe from seeing one of the top boys / girls throw a box into the bin so people can see what they used to succeed and if that person is crazy enough to think that brand x will make...

...... only shot 100 clays since the 2nd Dec..... chances of me being anywhere near a shooting ground this weekend are about the same as the temperature..... zero to minus figures.

I have no dog in this fight TBH because i have no view on the positives / negatives of the CEO I would add to some of the comments above the following... 1). Promote and give a s**t about events and disciplines outside of the olympic disciplines and sporting. There are thousands of shooters...

Sian, I used to regular (say 4 or 5 times a year) make the drive when it had Oxney Skeet targets based within it as i wanted the quality NSSA skeet targets. It was similar to the distance you will have to do time wise - my route was M1, M25, M20 and then the back roads the last bit. Ground is...

Your all hardier than me...... It needs to be double digits temps, not windy and dry. I have in the past done my fair share of shooting in the opposite of the above but i just do not have the commitment now. Plus i think it comes with the territory of shooting a fixed discipline. I also think...

Probably why i never took to game shooting. Tried it found it pretty much no fun and did not appeal to me..... probably for the very same wintery reasons.
