They do suffer with wind noise, but only if you have the passive non-elctronic ones like I do. In the box though is a pair of blanks so on a really windy day you can swap the inserts out and have silence. All of the valve types suffer from wind noise though so it’s not specific to Varios.

Been using them for about a year now and would recommend them in an instant. I used ACS custom made before these and they were fine, but over the years they lose their ability to effectively block sound. This is mainly due the changes in the shape of ears over a given period so any plugs would...

Full scores now up on Essex Facebook page! Hurrah.

Essex Gun’s FB page if you scroll you can find most of the previous years. I’ve messaged them today to ask when the full scores will be available. 

They do put a full list up each year, usually about 2 or 3 days after it finishes.

I changed from a Guerini Ascent in May of last year. I bought a Supersport 32 after trying one at the Essex Masters. It is a lovely thing and so smooth to shoot. Really light on recoil and, for me, just really pointable. Yeah, they are heavier, but really well balanced and with the non-Monte...

Personally, I think it’s subconscious. I am sceptical when people say a target needs 9 ft of lead when it’s 45 yards away. How does anyone know what 9ft looks like 45 yards away? I certainly don’t. If someone throws a ball at you, to your left or right, but still reachable, you just reach out...

I started a topic on this, but some people were upset by it and felt it wasn’t exciting enough for them. It was aiding to the stagnation of the forum and providing fuel to gun haters.....or something.......anyway, I agree with Hamster, I think one of the manufacturers will already have a...

As it seems now only a matter of time until all single use plastics are banned, when are manufacturers going to provide a viable wad alternative?  Fibre is not a viable alternative in modern competition guns as we know, so surely someone is figuring out what to do next? There was the Armusa...

That’s a ridiculous price and makes the whole thing way too expensive. Their lack of arrangement skills and basic communication also makes me wonder how this event will be run. I’ve emailed them and they can’t be arsed to reply. I’m oot!

I bought a new gun with a Kick Eez and had the same problem. Mate told me to shoot it and it will bed in and develop a sheen of its own. It has and is now perfect. Give it a few months before making a decision.

I think there are different things to consider here. To a sporting shooter it’s easy to see Skeet and DTL targets as easier and less complicated than most sporting targets. There aren’t loads of sporting shooters who could go out and put in a really high score in those disciplines though. In my...

Plastic only.

Forgot to add, my partner shoots Fiocchi too. Has done for the same length of time as me so my experience is greater than eluded to in my earlier post. Again, not one single issue. She hits more than me too damn it! If someone had nine wads in a barrel and so did 'lots more' I would suggest...

I've shot Fiocchi FBlus, F3 and Official Trap for years and '000s of shells. In the '000s of shells I have fired I have had not one single malfunction or misfire. I have had 2 very slightly oddly shaped cartridges in the same box and that has been it.  I shoot only Official Trap and Official...

Shot this today and loved it!!! Set off badly and messed up some of the easier stuff at the beginning and my inability to shoot anywhere near driven targets continues to drag me down. I ended up on 85 which I'm okay about. It's lower than my average, but then it should be for a major.  It's my...

My view on this is that, usually, for me anyway, my dips in form come when something away from shooting is bothering me. Not enough to be wanting to stop, but enough that they take over the instinctive and emotional side of my brain. I think that I then start to measure and overthink using the...

Just changed from some Pillas to these. They are really good. The Pillas were okay, but crucially they steamed up quite a bit due to the amount of wrap (in my opinion). They also had a vent in the brow pad, but it didn't work. For me though, the worse thing about the Pillas was that the amount...

All chokes are the same really regardless of what anyone says. Some are lighter, some are heavier and some have what appears to be interesting technology. My own opinion is that you wont go far wrong with the chokes supplied by the manufacturer be that Guerini or Beretta or whoever. A couple of...

I've thought about this for ages. What other sports do you just rock up and start? I can't think of any. Like the guy says, golfers practice their swing and watch pros and they practice on a practice ground putting and chipping etc.  Sprinters, practice a couple of starts and generally limber...
