    Adding a palm swell..

    The carved foam pad and insulating tape on my 'homemade' palm swell works a treat, and felt good on its first outing today.  But, insulating tape and foam on a Grade 5 stock just doesn't look quite right.  :blush: There is a Kick Eez Palm Swell available quite cheaply but I believe that...

    Clay ground hire gun cost?

    We've been shooting at a 'localish' shooting school / gun shop for about 9 years and have spend a fair bit of money there over these years - bought several guns and many thousands of cartridges and (rounds of) clays.   A couple of weeks ago, my lad took his girlfriend for a 50 clay shoot a few...

    Lubrication in the desert.

    Interesting thread earlier about grease or oil for choke threads which got me thinking..... With a lot of sand likely to be in the air in some places next week, maybe neither Tetra grease or Express Gun Oil (what I normally use) is the correct solution to lubrication in the desert. While I've...

    Which airline to Dubai?

    Passing through Heathrow tonight I asked BA Customer Services for clarity on their 'sporting goods' policy re taking a shotgun to Dubai.  They confirmed that it's around £50 each way (to pay for the G4S security service),  and in addition, you need to pay for an extra bag as well which looks...

    Air travel shotgun case. Adequate protection?

    My lad is making the trek to Dubai next week for the Sporting Competion and we’ve just booked in his shotgun with BA.  (Bit of a convoluted process! ) However, the intent was for him to use the Browning hard case that my GP Sporter came in.  The conversation with the guy on the phone has raised...

    Upgrading a competition clay gun?

    I realise that a good shot can use any gun to good effect.  However, people do pay a shedload of money to buy kit like DT11s, Perazzis and Krieghoffs and some of them are very nice indeed.  Deeply envious of some of the superb ones I saw at the weekend. However, at what sort of point (eg what...

    'Seeing shot' in the air

    It can be soul destroying to see my lad miss a series of clays and not to be able to advise him on how to get onto the clay.  Try as I do, I am simply unable to see the shot travel and therefore, unlike many others, can't say if he's ahead, behind, over the top or below.  (Mind you, it would...

    Hello

    Hi all I'm perhaps slightly unusual in that I don't shoot clays/shotguns myself!  (Much!) My main interest is in shooting on my farm/vermin control (rimfire/ 223 Tikka / and sometimes shotgun) and 10m air rifle where I'm reasonably competitive!  (Div 1 in one postal league and Div 2 in...
