95 on a sporting shoot is top going, regardless of what it was like. nice going hammy

get more shells down the barrels tonky

welcome ciren hope you enjoy the forum im sure you will. drove through cirencester on way to worlds few weeks back, nice place

one complaint i would have and its only small is the fact i had to fork out 64 quid at ian coleys for eleys. i rang alison 2 weeks prior to the shoot to order shells like it said on the website, she said she would ring me back and take my order when she was ready. i never heard from her. also i...

well i must say im well chuffed to have won A class on 171. although to be perfectly honest i really did miss at least 5 on each course which i was perfecctly capable of shooting comfortably. ah well cant be to greedy. its a good achievement for me as i dont really do alot of shooting anymore...

good to see you again ron. nige was telling me about your ops, hope they were a success? im only back on here yesterday myself.

32" auto ed!!! frig you cud near break some clays with that without pulling the trigger. i had a 391 black gold 30" sporter with gold ducks on the action one time and i regret i got rid of it! it was a great piece of kit. but i cant imagine a 32", never even seen one. im sure it suits you ok though

im really looking forward to this i must say. ive heard nothing but great things about your target setting steve, plus the countryside sounds ideal. i just hope i can shoot straight for a few hours!

1 bolted rabbits with ferrets or dogs first,2 pigeons either decoyed or coming to roost, 3 woodcock, duck flighting at night is very close to the woodcock though

last nights spat escalated very quickly really, and sadly was a stark reminder of claysportings dark days. as glen said game shooting is an emotive subject and people have very contrasting opinions, i will never agree with the opinions of nic and gp on the high pheasant thread, but likewise they...

i would love to witness the amazing feats of shooting on these "proper shoots". i would say the majority are wounded. i also think it is a little bit irresponsible to want to let game birds get as high as possible. a shotgun isnt a rocket launcher, i think you guys have forgotten that, no matter...

Nigel said: i didnt say it went to the bin, it went to the dog. and the other one was nowhere near as bad cos it was quartering of you and wasnt hit right in the middle of pattern. the one you wrecked was turning across you and opened his whole body to you and you middled it in the chest

paul hows it going mate! good to see you on here!

Outlaw said: this seems to be some sort of obsession of yours? you seem to have had run ins with alot of people on the previous site, i wonder why. anyway i was hunter on the previous site, and i introduced myself when i arrived here, like everyone else did, so i dont need to do it again

alot of good points there nige, oh aye and i plucked that woodcock last year and the size of the holes the pellets left meant it was only fit for the dogs. woodcock are very easy knocked down and as you say most are shoot at close ranges. were they 5s or 6s you used that day?

thats a whole different matter glen. shoot at whatever ranges you feel comfortable with, all im saying is i think number 4 or even 5 shot is excessive for pheasants. anyone who has ever plucked one will know they dont really have a thick layer of feathers to penetrate, a duck is thicker with all...

to be honest i wouldnt fancy cleaning any of these pheasants for the table if they were shot with any of the shells mentioned here! surely a 4 is just to much overkill for a pheasant! and henry i would guess your three visible hits on this bird were in the birds nether regions and not in the...

GlenPresley said: no i did not eat it glen, i left it for the foxes. we are very careful when gutting a rabbit as well to check the liver for white spots, any sign of this and we just trow them ones to the ferrets, they arent so fussy!

big jim said: dunno if i would agree with that jim to be honest. for me its about finding a happy medium. those of a lesser ability cannot be punished during a round of sporting clays in my opinion, but then again the best have to be tested, its finding the right balance.

i was able to jump out of my car on our lane the other week and lift a bunny that was so badly dosed with myxi it was bumping into the hedge blind as a bat. i put it out of its misery. i hate the disease, i love rabbit shooting over ferrets, but sadly that is almost a thing of the past over here...
