    Another gun choice - I can't decide!

    So, after a few family issues, I have reluctantly sold my Krieghoff to get a "cheaper" gun and free up some cash.  I now have a budget of £3-3.5k and have narrowed my choices down to the below 4 which are currently available for sale. Please could people give me their opinions on what I should...

    Any personal goals for the 2017 season?

    I thought It would be nice to see if anyone wanted to comment on what they are hoping to achieve in this new year of their clay shooting world? I for one, have managed to scrape through into A class at the end of last year by the skin of my teeth, so my aim is to pick myself up from the "lull"...

    First cartridges, now the clays too...

    Visited one of my local shooting grounds this weekend, got chatting to one of the staff I know quite well.  Turns out that from next year, they're going to have to increase the charge per clay as CCI clays are putting prices up due to "Brexit"! :-( Again, like the cartridges, a British...

    Hamilton Slipstand/GDK slip pro stand

    So, I am getting a bit fed up of having my gun slip lying in the dirt when waiting at stands, and the Hamilton slipstand, and now GDK's version seem to make some sense. However, I have a couple of issues: 1. How heavy are these things? They look hefty! 2. Are they really very stable, or...

    Guns on house contents insurance...

    So, I was wondering if other forum members had their guns on their house contents insurance, and if so, which companies have you found to be reasonably priced and accommodating? I am currently with LV, but on building only. They don't seem very keen to insure me on contents now they know I have...

    POLL - Chokes & Shot size

    I thought with all the various threads on here about what chokes and shot sizes people prefer, it would be interesting to have a poll on it so we can see what the most popular combinations are. I have tried to include a poll which covers 'sporting' and 'trap' to try and keep things as simple as...

    Trigger pulls

    So after reading a few different threads recently, I have seen/read quite a few people commenting on good or bad trigger pulls on guns. There is speak of "trigger jobs" being done on some guns to improve them, and some particular makes seem to have "superior" trigger pulls. My question is, are...

    Sold my car, got a new gun!

    So I got a new job this new year which comes with a company car. This means I have now sold my car and had some "disposable income" left over! ;-) Anyway, ever since I started shooting I've had a real soft spot for this gun, and although it may not be a EELL or anything, I love it!! Took it out...

    Newbie question alert! Classifications?

    Ok, so I get that after becoming a CPSA member, you can somehow get a classification?! My question is how? Do you have to compete in specific registered events at certain grounds? Do you have different classes for different disciplines? Who enters your results? And finally, I'm guessing just...
