Funnily enough it was actually me that started the idea of the 21g challenge at Wylye a long time back as I've been using them for years due to a medical condition that does not agree with recoil at all as many will know.  But I was often sent out to nail the long crosser on the bank which we...

Can someone point me in the direction that backs this statement up because I'm blowed if I can find it. I am the head coach at Wylye Valley, that is true. If you read my signature properly I coach at all the other grounds and several others because I was asked to by the owners. I put it there...

When the first DT11s came out for a trial I was given one to play with for a while for Shootinguk. What with all the talk of fibre not working because of the aforementioned reasons I thought I'd put 250 Hull Comp X 21g Fibres through it at the same time I put a lot of other mixed stuff though...

The main difference with the 32 is going to be the guy behind the gun and whether he understands what's now going on that wasn't before. Many move up to 32 with disastrous results but don't give up. Get some lessons asap from a good coach to show you what you now need to know. :spiteful:

I was going but I'm booked up that day. B) Would've been nice to hook up with some old friends from the SGCBC again.

On the subject of looking after your gun. One of the things that makes me really cringe  :fie:  is people that carry their gun slips up the wrong way. I mentioned it politely to a guy once at the ground and he thanked me as he never knew about it. He came back in the clubhouse about 40...

Not everyone can afford to shoot at gun clubs/grounds which is why so many little summer clubs are out there in the week. I go to one most wednesdays and get 100 first class FITASC targets and get a pint and full supper for just £25. :nyam:

The main cause of head lifting is indeed a low combe, however the gun can fit perfectly but if you mount low into the shoulder and drop your head onto the stock as many shooters do I guarantee you will often lift your head to see the bird. Always, always stand up straight and mount into the...

Yep! I can recommend Dennis.

Having a stock that's too long very often causes a shooter to believe that they are left eye dominant when they are not as the rib cannot be seen properly when the cheekbone is on the stock. Often if a 1/4-1/2 inch is taken off the Length Of Pull the correct sight picture appears resulting in...

Ok.....providing the comb on your gun is not slightly too low causing what seems like cross dominance and its sporting and fitasc type targets your shooting, I would recommend you merely squint the left eye if possible or shut it while swinging/mounting onto the target. (two eyes, one eye...

Could you define "recently" for us ? And how long have you actually been shooting shotguns ? What gun do you have ? How are you sure you're left eye dominant ?

Ha! I do it all the time Rob as I'm freelance. Just hate to see anybody struggle with a target whether beginner or World champion. And believe me, you'd be really surprised who asks me "WTF" Rob ?  :biggrin:

Come up to Wylye next time Wez. Always people you can go round with at Wylye. If not, we'll get you a button pusher, may even be me if I'm available. But be warned, in that case you may well get free coaching as well. :spiteful:

Hi Chris and welcome aboard. :crazy:

Chilled out or what mate ? :dancing: What does Val put in those cakes..????????.... :spiteful:

Haha! not at Wylye we don't. You shoot the registered targets as does everybody. The right coach can make it easy for you and seem as if everything is almost in slow motion.  :spiteful:

Richard or Chris at Owls. :hunter:

Just spotted this and haven't really got time to answer properly but its to do with "cast at toe" which can not be changed on most guns and the direction of the recoil force. The nerves in the shoulder can be very seriously damaged causing severe pain/numbness and loss of use of the arm. There...

I'm going but only to meet friends and clients etc.....oh and I get in free... :spiteful:
