Just had the headline cross my computer screen: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-36878526 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looking at taking a few days off in mid April with my wife, which we'll probably spend near Oban. Does anyone know/have experience of any shooting grounds (sporting or trap) within an hour's drive or so from there? Thanks! Richard Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just wanted to post some praise for Justin, top class service, always with a smile and an ability to bend over backwards to help out if he can. He's sorted out a couple of stocks for me in the last couple of years, the most recent being adding an xpad for me, in a morning.  He's based near...

I was foolish enough to have a go at OT a couple of weeks back and rather enjoyed myself... It was suggested that if I wanted to pursue this newfound interest, I should consider getting myself a trap gun, and DT10s came into the discussion.  I tried one by chance the other week and found it...

I wonder how well these behave with clays? http://petapixel.com/2015/08/19/this-new-shotgun-shell-is-for-shooting-down-drones/

Someone mentioned something about clay shooting get some mainstream coverage the other day.  Just spotted this on a photography website I frequent, a series of photo portraits of the first women in the UK to achieve something in their field.  So there are some pilots, lawyers, and one Abbey...

I'm in the process of having a laminate stock made for an air rifle, and it got me thinking about using the same material for a shotgun stock. I think I've seen photos of a couple of them (I say think as I don't know if it was actual laminate or clever airbrushing) but not found much detail...

Kemen K4s look like nice guns and get some good press. I've liked the ones I've held, though I haven't had a chance to shoot one. I spotted one for sale with a nice looking stock, ISIS recoil system installed, for less than £3k (around £2600), as a private sale. K4s on the market seem...

Had a great day out shooting today.  It seemed that I could hit almost anything, gun was comfortable in the shoulder, lead (as in the metal) was flying in the right direction, in other words, where I was trying to put it, I was in good company, the sun was shining...  You get the idea. A few...

Just saw this elsewhere on the web. Apologies to DB, but it made me laugh. "David Beckham is due on the pitch for a training session and he's nowhere to be seen. His new Galaxy manager goes looking for him and finds him in the dressing room and says, "Hey, David, why are you in here and not on...

Hi there, a question for you Beretta owners, and more generally for Italian gun owners. A colleague of mine has a Beretta shotgun and is unhappy with the stock.  He is under the impression that in return for the necessary sum of money, Beretta might provide him another one that is more suited...

I'll see your Oakleys, Randolphs, Pillas, etc. and laugh as I don my new cyber, Android powered super-glasses.  Just waiting for the brain/trigger interface that will prevent me from ever missing a clay again. $1000 expected price, but it's got to be worth it...

Work was a bit slow today, so I thought I'd go shooting. Went up to CGC and thought I'd go for one round of DTL to warm up (plus it's easy on your own) as it's been a couple of weeks since I last went shooting. For giggles, I thought I'd limit myself to 25 cartridges. Hit 24 of 25, missing only...

I have a 1980 Miroku 3700 with 28" barrels.  I am interested in changing up to 30" but have a sentimental attachment to the gun.  Is it feasible to swap out the barrels for those of a Miroku 800SW?  If feasible, is it something I should consider, or am I better off  p/x'ing the gun, or more...

Hi there, Can anyone shed any light on what this green stuff left over inside my barrels and chamber might be, please? (photos below, hope they're good enough to demonstrate) I noticed this last week, I wondered whether it might be a leaf that had somehow got into the barrel and shredded when...

Evening all, wonder if I could pick your brains again, please? My brother wants to get his first shotgun. He's been shooting for a couple of years now, and has his ticket. He's been having some issues with eye dominance lately - he's ambiguous rather than ambidextrous - and is unsure whether to...

Hi there, I am in the fortunate position that someone has offered to buy me a shotgun. It will be used for sporting, mainly, though I am quite taken by DTL, and I can see myself having a go at other trap disciplines at some point. The agreed budget is £1000 - £1500, which opens up the options...

Hi there, has anyone seen/got hold of/tried these? I was in an Oakley store in the US looking for suitable (for shooting) replacement lenses and the guys in the store said I should look into the new Prizm ones.  Apparently they're quite hard to get hold of, but like all new things, they're...

Without wishing to stir up a hornet's nest, my question is as per the title. The police kindly granted me a certificate a month ago.  My wallet kindly granted me a gun a fortnight ago.  Work and the weather finally let me try it out yesterday, and now I want more! Nuthampstead is the closest...

Hi there, new to the forum, and new to clay shooting, so please bear with me while I get all my etiquette and terminology hopelessly wrong! I'm still waiting to buy my first gun, not to mention for the certificate to land on my doormat, hopefully only a matter of a week or two now - FEO visit...
