Hi Howard The wife and I are planning a weekend away in Brighton and we both shoot Clays - where would you recommend we go for our nearest "pay and play" style ground? Failing that which traditional style Sunday shoots? Regards, James

Well Charles, I can vouch for Sportarm & Avalon - the wife bought second hand from Sportarm and we tend to get our cartridges from there too, and I bought new from Avalon (one of those more modern Beretta you dislike (692) - I visited all the local Beretta stockiest for one with decent wood...

Well you opened a can of worms with your question 692 v MK38 Grd 5! I bought a 692 a year ago and for the record cant fault it, and even had my local gunsmith strip it and give it the once over and all is fine - I did get him to refinish the stock as the factory finish is a little...

I have not heard the term "golden triangle" until now, which venues\area does this cover then?

Southern Counties, then its replacement Dorset Shooting School and now Podimore!  If Purbeck ever goes I will have to move!

Second article now published!

Used to visit Lains regularly and spent a lot of time there many years ago  Have had lessons there and was very pleased. Due to where I live now Purbeck is my practice venue of choice, but always enjoyed visiting Lains.

Well I have to say the videos in these two resources certainly make a lot of sense and a great free resource: https://www.youtube.com/user/ClayCoachOnline/playlists https://www.youtube.com/user/TheNSSF/playlists Since having my most recent 4 hours of tuition it really is all about getting the...

The summary of my first lesson with Steve is now out!

.....this seems to touch on a few pertinent points! http://www.procoachshootingschool.com/images/pdf/Why Did I Miss.pdf ​my wife would probably agree with this one! :-)

Cheers for all the replies and advice! Purbeck is my local and have had some time with Graham Brown (albeit back in Feb).  I do quite well at Purbeck, but yesterday we tried The Spitfire Shoot, and yes I have been through a lot of change since Feb with my shooting and am having a course of...

Can anyone help give me some tips on how to self analyse why I miss a certain target....I go to more practice grounds than actual Sunday style shoots and of late am having a bit of a frustrating time...I either have a great stand and smoke the lot or get to a stand and just cant find the...

​Totally feel your pain Jamie.......same here but in reverse.....shot with one eyed closed for 28 years, wanted to get better and changed to two eyes open in Feb and after much frustration, tests and all sorts of faffing about my Instructors said I was left eye dominant, Optician says I am right...

​Is that the one at Holt?  Do they have a website\FB page\somewhere the dates are published? Cheers, James (added after original post).......just found their FB page!  darn it, have been once before and enjoyed it! already arranged to go to Spitfire Shoot for some practice now....

​Unfortunately at the time of the eye test there were no clays or barrels present :-)

Well, I have just had an eye test with a Sports Optometrist (Underwood Eye Care in Ferndown).......in short, I was diagnosed as right eye dominant!  After numerous tests the issues are between my left hand and right eye (I am right handed so my left hand leads the barrels).  My left hand is...

Hello All, Despite predominately being a clay shooter I am starting to do more and more pigeon shooting, and enjoying helping a local organic small holding keep the pigeons at bay.  I am wondering if there are any other venues\farmers in Dorset who also allow access to their estate for similar...

Well my 15min of fame has started.....and started with a humorous typo...see page 86 of July 2015 edition of Clay Shooting magazine (or the attached image)..... It is safe to say I haven't been shooting for 28 years with my eyes closed! Have to say Steve Rawsthorne at Holland & Holland has...

...got my 692 and other bits and pieces from Avalon....good gun shop! (shame they are so far away from me otherwise would use them for my cartridges!)

It certainly is a pretty gun Meerkat....the Ascent Sporter has a higher rib, which is also tapered (not sure if the normal Summit has that) and also has the Monte Carlo stock.....making it a very well focused clay busting machine....with the Ascent and 692 you are starting to break in to entry...
