Well another year and it's time for the British Grand Prix, so who is going? Not done this one for a while now, fancied a weekend out, getting soaked and beaten up by Steve's targets and a Ref... you know who you are...!!
Just a curious question, but, should rules in shooting be rigidly applied or should there be some common sense and some flexibility? There have been plenty of threads about shooters seeing the rules being broken and seemingly nothing being done by ref's. Is it acceptable at all shoots or should...

It occurred to me that we are all very quick to criticise grounds and Southdown has had its fair share of that over the last few months, so I thought I would do a review of the fitasc they had last weekend.
First I noticed was Southdown have made a valiant attempt to fix the track leading to...
Thought I would share this story with you all, its a short one.
I needed to have my perazzi added to my European Firearms Pass, so I put my pass in the post, along with a self-addressed envelope and posted it to the Firearms Depart on Wednesday. Imagine my surprise when I got home tonight to...
Soooo, looking for some sensible ideas for a new motor, needs to be used for commuting to work (motorways) and shooting. Needs boot space, maybe 4x4, roomy in case there is more than two of us, does more than 40MPG... and go
Just got home and my cuff links have arrived from Dave UK and they are fantastic, very original and well crafted, will be wearing them tomorrrow - cheers Dave
OK I can't hold back any longer!
Got to say how disappointed I was with shoot, I mean you had two courses so 24 stands and not one single target went through the sun! So I wasted money on welding goggles! And another thing, not one single break down or any really long waits to shoot a stand so...
If any of you are planning to enter the 2015 World FITASC Championships I would start saving now! The event is being held in Le Sueur, Minneapolis, USA at the Caribou Gun Club.
If any of you find any good deals please share them here :biggrin:
First trip for me to this ground, got to sya impressions were very good, 12 stands with a good variety of target, nothing stupid. We were very lucky, finished our round just as it got very busy. Managed to card a 92, not bad as I dropped 7 targets in the first 3 stands!
Would definitely go...
Just for all of us who couldn't make it this year, here is a site you can follow the scores on, it is almost real time so enjoy...

Anyone shooting the English Open at Southdown this week, booked in to do this on Sunday at 9:00, Graham Brown is setiing the coure so should be interesting.
In England/GB selection shoots, how rigid should the ref's be when enforcing the rules? Shot High Lodge on Sunday and saw some very lax refereeing.
Discuss..
Well finally got to shoot at Grimsthorpe shooting ground yesterday, it's only taken 18 years! Went up with Matt R and Keith to shoot the fitasc, wasn't too sure what to expect but every one I spoke to said it is a fantastic ground with great targets, and it's a well deserved reputation.
Our...
Well done, not often I come across a stand (or two!) that baffled a load of shooters! Very good variety today, think I need to shoot your grounds more often!
So after suffering from TE AND GE in both elbows and issues after shooting in the shoulder neck region I decided to go and see a physio. Well the difference is quite staggering, 4 sessions, pretty much pain free and can shoot at least 250 shells without any real adverse effect. A mix of...
Quick straw poll for all you good folk on ShootClay. Would you enter the GB selection shoots if they were 100 target, shoot either day? Yes, no or makes no difference?
