I have 2 tickets (row D Circle) for the Australian Pink Floyd concert in Oxford on Tuesday 10th March. Unfortunately I have to go away on business. I saw this band last year and they are really, really good. So good in fact that I bought tickets for this years tour. The music is as good if not...

I see Owls Lodge is Open New Year's Day. Does anybody know of any other shoots in the Berks, Bucks, Oxon area ?

Firstly apologies for the blatant request ! - however I know many forum users are big supporters of Children who compete at Elite level in sport. The letter below is from my daughter Abi. Thanks for taking the time to read it. As requested lower down in the thread my PayPal email address is ...

Im sure this is probably an age old question and one which has been asked before but .... What exactly is the difference between Sportrap and Compak ? Or are they the same thing but controlled by different governing bodies i.e. FITASC Compak

I have recently hired a Promatic trap release system that will automatically control up to 8 traps for a flurry and also run a number of other pre set programmes. The unit uses cables out to the traps and is a cracking piece of kit four the small shoots that my club sets up.  Looking on the...

I am planning to set up a 5 stand 4 trap Compak layout for a club shoot - in the past I have shot these as both 25 and 30 target layouts. For the 25 the first target is a single followed by pairs. For the 30 all are pairs. Has anyone got a suitable target sequence that I can use that makes...

I am currently looking at the options for buying a new shotgun. I have looked at the Browning Ultra XS Prestige and the beretta 692 that both seem to come in at around the same price. Currently I shoot a Miruko MK 70 that fits me pretty well. Any thoughts, comments or experiences of the above...

Another cracking day at the Crazy Bear - great targets, no breakdowns, fantastic food and ............... The SUN came out. Bring on the Spring !! And to cap it all off we've just finished the best shoulder of Lamb from the farm shop. I like Sundays here !!!

Well after my comments yesterday about the Oxfordshire shooting ground at Enstone today I went to the Crazy Bear at Stadhampton. Fantastic shoot well over 200 people but no breakdowns only short queus on some stands and a very sensible price. To go with that fantastic food and a great pub for a...

Who's been here before ? What did you think ? Went today for the first time : Although the weather was awful and the ground was knee deep in mud my thoughts as follows : 44p per clay on Promatic cards - felt this was expensive for the ground Traps not working on a lot of the stands Lots of...

I am looking at the possibility of of getting prescription shooting glasses and the question of which colour lens has come up as I am not in the position of being able to go for a full set of different tints. I have tried a the Randolph Ranger medium yellow and the red (Vermillion) and I think...

I shot Pet's Ladies / gents in pink day at the West London Shooting Ground yesterday and despite the never ending drissle it was a good day out - Im still picking the pink feathers out of my kit ! After we had finished I was reviewing my card and on stand 7 there are the normal 0 and / markings...

I am in the process of buying a new gun and arrived at the question of barrel length. I shoot sporting and have been doing so for the last 18 months so a relative novice. Curently I am shooting a Browning 425 with 30Inch barrels Any thoughts on the relative merits of 28,30,32 inch barrels...

After Matt's recent review I decided to take the plunge an get fitted for a set of Emtec Noise Breakers. I bought mine through a distributor called James Hearing and it has to be said the service that this Company offered was superb from answering emails in the evening through to arranging a...

Recently I have been able to shoot consecutive weekends for about two months and during that time I have repeatedly gone to the first stand and straighted it, moved to the second stand and either straighted or shot a good 8 or 9 / 10 then on stand 3 had a disaster !This has then been followed by...

I am now "at that age" according to the optician where I should accept the fact that I need to wear glasses pretty much all the time.As I currently take off my glasses and replace them with normal shooting glasses when I shoot I am probably working at a disadvantage.Does anybody have any...
