My house insurance is with Tesco and it’s just up for renewal shortly. Even though I have my DT11 listed as a named valuable item for accidental damage etc away from the home & abroad – I notice a comment saying maximum cover of £2,500 if item left in an unattended vehicle. That’s not even a...

Only for clays as I don’t shoot game so need to match Tweed / Barbour J I normally wear cheapy Hitec walking boots that keep my feet warm enough with decent socks and do the job 90% of the time. There are a few grounds which tend to be a lot muddier = muddy trouser legs by the time you get back...

These are rapidly becoming my bogey bird. Referring to edge on fast 90 degree crossers that never gain height and drop slowly e.g. following the terrain of a descending bankl. I always feel like it’s more luck than judgement if I hit them. When I miss I think I need to increase my lead due to it...

Last time I bought a new shotgun (and part ex’d my old one) about 3.5 years ago I posted off the necessary forms to Thames Valley Police and never heard anything so chased by phone and got a message to email them for non urgent issues. So I did and they replied saying nothing received but would...

I know Beretta are out of favour on these forums but my 692 served me well for 3.5 years and decided to treat myself to a DT11 for my 40th birthday. Had seen that Premier Guns at Doveridge were offering customers the chance to take a trip over to Beretta in Gardone val Trompia in Northern Italy...

Sorry if I am confusing myself but as someone who has never shot either in a competition - can someone explain to me the difference please? I have shot what was labelled as Compak at my local club which was 5 stands, A to E  birds from each, 1st single full use, 2nd O/R pair, 3rd simo pair. But...

Do I have a misprint or are they reviewing a Caesar Guerini but have a picture of a Perazzi .?

Anyone else shooting this? I found the old thread but its locked by now. Decided to sign up for this last minute as it’s only an hour drive for me. Requested 14:20 slot on Sat 2nd July and backup 11:30. The booking email says it can take up to 21 days to confirm your allocated squad time. I...

Had a pair of Hitec Magnum Elite 6” for the last 10 or so years that have served me well. Comfortable, warm in winter but can still be worn in summer, good grip, don’t let the water in. Unfortunately using them to ride horses in 45 degree heat in Arizona earlier this month destroyed them as they...

The fifth and final round is finally here. Looking forward to it. Hopefully not as taxing as the Monthly Registereds Owls put on as not sure my averages can take there twice in one month .. Think I will be turning up earlier for this one as guessing it will be busy. Apparently breakfast is...

Just saw this advertised on CPSA website. Only their 2nd ever registered shoot and I for one have always fancied shooting here: https://www.cpsa.co.uk/userfiles/file/RBSSRegShootFlyer2015.pdf Hopefully of use for some others as not sure how well it has been advertised. Cheers Simon

If you go on the CENS website you can pay online for a voucher you then take to your local affiliated audiologist. If you require impressions CENS charge an additional £25 on the voucher price. I looked up their nearest supplier and it was James Hearing. They do not charge for the impressions...

Don't do as I did and read the video description as it tells you who wins. But bravo to the winner - that is some seriously good shooting:

Is it possible as can't see how? Have tried colouring in the bead (white) with a black sharpie marker but doesnt take long for it to wear off. Thanks Simon

Finally got around to trying this and not having much luck. Managed to remove the ejector / extractor screw easy enough but then what? Some instructions just say release the ejector after having it depressed but mine stays in place albeit a few mm further back than the other ejector that I...

Is there anything on the BBC as the programme synopsis is somewhat vague and not at home to check red button content. Otherwise any other way to watch the womens final live? Cheers Simon

I had to share this as was so impressed by the handwork of one of my wife's friends who constructed this. The pic off my phone doesn't do it justice but the clays and trap are spot one as is my outfit (less the orange cans .). The little wood pigeon tasted very nice too! Cheers Simon
