Tried most and for ease of use and long duration the peacocks win hands down. I have two of the the giant ones for each hand when its proper cold. Only down side is the smell of lighter fuel but it doesn’t bother me. Have had a total of 4 and no issues lighting any of them - easy peasy. I use...

Nice trip to AGL this morning. Checked my scores and last time I shot the ground was in January so its been a while! Lovely day for shooting and warmer than forecast. Was busy first thing so picked my way around the stands to avoid too much queueing. Pretty decent round straighting 6 stands...

After 2.5 months of no shooting I managed a trip to Horne last Sunday and wasn't as rusty as I had expected, so was happy to come away with a 75. Went to 4C's yesterday and was late due to only 1 lane running on the M4 but it was actually the quietest I have ever seen it. Literally had 2-3...

Popped down OLSS for the last sportrap squad. Lovely weather and cracking squad even if we were 1 light and I was in stand 4. Managed a 24 on the first layout but missed some silly birds including a gimme single that I forgot to even use 2nd barrel. Ended up on 89 which was good enough for joint...

Seems like a lot of conjecture from the internet. Even the ground didn't confirm the reason for disqualification. Some folks are talking about card changing but the only “evidence” I’ve come across is a 9 second video about a no bird call so totally unrelated and something that would likely...

How is this even possible in a major event with master scoresheets and how does this not get reviewed at the time rather than a month later?

Court Farm also. Started off badly dropping 5 on Stand 1 with the rabbit in the grass that was more like a mouse. After this just dropped 1 or 2 here and there until the corner of the field where I dropped 16 over 4 stands. Quite a lot of edgy stuff. Luckily I straighted the two gimme /...

Owls today for the Sportrap. Holidays, birthdays, weather and other family events meant I haven’t picked my gun up in 3.5 months. Added to which I fell off the loft ladder on sunday so currently nursing some rather large bruises on both arms amongst others. So was nice to just get out in good...

I come from Reading direction and tbh for 4C I always go on to J14 and up through Great Shefford. Google maps says its about 4 mins slower but in reality as the roads are straight and normally quiet I reckon its the same if not faster.

I forgot about that rabbit. 2 chaps in front of me missed them all so I was happy to hit 3 of them and the one I missed was a jumper. Very little time to see it before it was gone so very much reaction shooting.

Just back from Owls. Decent course with no eye tests. Richard said I was High Gun as I left 🤣 (was one of the first handful to get around). Started off well enough dropping just 4 over stands 1-6 and that was just sloppy one aways. Then got up the top and didn’t touch the fast blaze down the...

I also shot Gatton and whilst I seemed to shot better than I have recently I still had a couple of horror stands that dented my score. That stand 2 I did 2nd to last and it was a following pair. Looked simple but I dropped the first two pairs giving it a little lead. Then shot straight at it and...

Never shot at Coleys. Is the prize money lower for C than other classes or do you mean the class money in general is on the low side?

Shot Horne today. Been shooting like a blind man lately and my round turned was a tale of three thirds. Started on 1 and dropped 8 over the first 3 stands. Then somehow managed to pick myself up and only dropped 1 over the next 6 stands. Then threw away a decent score with a 4/10 on my last...

Never met the guy in person but certainly his FB persona is very confrontational & condescending when responding to anyone who disagrees with his view. Nothing he has said to me just general observation. And I do think there is some truth in his view re: fibre wad performance in newer guns...

I know Mr Myers is a machine but 98 is insane! Although does sound like the wind died off with 95 8 points clear at the top until right at the end when another 8 scores popped up.

Its deffo picked up at Owls. Hard to stand up steady at the mo.

I already lost my scorecard to the wind. On number two .. 

I’m standing there waiting to start. Met office says 25mph winds by 11 but feels that already tbh.

Have you heard about the french army’s new tank? It has 7 reverse gears and 1 forward. The forward is in case they get ambushed from behind.
