After a very brief foray into SxS ownership I'm selling my old English single trigger SxS. 30 inch barrels, cyclinder and 1/4 fixed chokes, good fun on clays, but I need the cabinet space. Message me if interested and I'll take some photos to send across.

Bit of an odd one this. Last few weeks, when first taking my A400 out of the slip and trying to fire it for the first time it just clicks when I pull the trigger.  After ejecting the cartridges unshot a couple of times with it doing this it will fire and then won't be a problem for the rest of...

Not been to Grange Farm before, but up in that neck of the woods next weekend. Is it pre-booked squads or just turn up?

Decided a while ago to get rid of the DT10 that has been used twice in the last four years and to get a semi-auto to act as a spare for either me or my husband.  It'll give me the ability to go and shoot the Beretta Worlds if I get an A400 and maybe even try one of the specialist semi-auto...

...if I bought an English side x side and had an adjustable comb fitted to the stock? Got an old DT10 hanging around for sale at Sporting Targets that doesn't seem to be getting much interest (probably because it's 28 inch barrels).  Rather than waiting for the perfect buyer to come along, I...

Thinking about heading off in the motorhome weekend after next to try a few Registered shoots at grounds we've not been to before.  Looking at Somerset Shooting Ground (used to be called Tor View I think) for their Friday comp. and then doing Meadowcroft and Four Counties on the way home. Never...

Off to stay near Coventry at the weekend so that I can try out Honesberie on Sunday morning.  Means that I'll have Saturday late morning / afternoon for a spot of practice.  Anyone got any recommendations on where to try in the area?  I'd spotted Lea Marston Shooting Club - any good?

Chatted with someone at Southdown a couple of times on the way round on Monday.  When the results came out their name was missing. The shoot could probably be considered on the tougher side and I'd heard that they hadn't shot particularly well. First shoot at Willinghurst, which was very tough...

Going up to Orston on Sunday and contemplating sneaking in a second shoot on the way back.  I could try to get back down to Gatton Bottom for 3pm, but thought it would be a good opportunity to try another Registered shoot out on the way back.  Which would you choose?

Just seen that there is a Reg on at EJC on Saturday.  Anyone any idea how long that's been planned?  I'd specifically chosen to send my gun off for a service as there wasn't anything on that was within a couple of hours drive (according to the CPSA website a week ago).  If I'd have known I would...

Just seen on Facebook that Greenfields near Canterbury will not longer be holding Registered ESP competitions.  We're sorely lacking Reg shoots in Kent and East Sussex, losing this one is a bit of a blow.

Thinking about going to Chalk Farm first thing on the 23rd Sept and then booking onto the 150 bird shoot at Highwayman's in the afternoon.  I've never shot a squadded competition and am feeling a bit nervous about it as I'll be booking in on my own.  If I end up on a squad full of AA shooters my...

Have been given a couple of free corporate tickets to the above.  Even though I have to spend some of the day pretending to be grown up in front of clients / co-consultants, I will have a few hours doing what I want. I was thinking about taking my gun along and having a go at the sporting and a...

Thinking about booking in to one of the National Ladies Shooting Day events and noticed this place on the list.  Never heard of it before.  Anyone ever shot there?  Is it worth going for? Otherwise I'll choose between Churchills, West London and Sporting Targets.

I noticed on Atkins Grant and Langs website that they are a fibre wad only site.  Is that the case for their Registered shoots as well?   Might be able to get up there this Friday and want to make sure I've got the right stuff with me.

My DT10 is in at the gunsmiths having some work done on it, so the last few weeks I've got the Silver Pigeon out of the back of the cabinet for the first time in about 8 months.  Stock is the same length as my DT10 and the sight picture seems to be the same for me, so I've not had any real...

...which gun would you choose for shooting English Sporting?

Off on our travels tomorrow and am looking for grounds that are open for practice on a weekday (rather than tuition).  Looked at the Honesberie website and it seems to be all about lessons.  Anyone know if they do open practice there as well?

Can't get on with off-the-shelf earplugs and the external cans work well but get a bit sweaty in the summer, so thought I'd bite the bullet and go for some of these.  I intend to start off with the passive ones (just in case I don't like them), but might upgrade in future.  Can you upgrade the...
