Had an afternoon at the ground today and I've come to the conclusion that a standard stock simply doesn't let my trigger finger come naturally anywhere the trigger resulting in a lateral pull on the trigger and strain on my wrist and finger tendons I need a pistol or thumbhole shaped grip. I see...

Gave Sporting a proper go this week 30ex 40 Wednesday evening cleared one stand then missed all bar 3 on the second last. 200 in a 3hr session with Salopian on Wednesday, cleared a couple of stands, and utterly failed to connect with the chondelle (apart from the 1 few shots then relaxed and...

Thinking of getting a trap for when my freetime doesn't coincide with days/times that ranges are available. Looking for ideas as to what readily portable trap I should be looking at, thinking along the lines of a random direction/elevation one but that can be locked down to throw a specific...

Feeling really gutted for the Malaysian lass who was due to compete in the air rifle and 50m prone smallbore events, her luggage and shooting jacket are lost somewhere in London so she can't compete. Poor girl is understandably distraught. Gold medallist as well. Question to those who compete...

Hellish quite appeals to my masochistic streak (used to be deadly on woodcock and snipe) so can anyone tell me what grounds in the UK have it.

Finished Sunday's Skeet shooting the last round and a half  through what I can only describe as severe toothache in my left shoulder (I'm right handed/eye dominant). I know that due to playing rugby, halter training bulls, calving cows and crashing motorbikes my shoulders are pretty fooked but...

Picked up some Remington premier (international target load) the other day, cos they were on offer and I've found my guns and I get on with them very well. My problem is that the shop got them as a one off so is probably going to run out in a month or two. Does anyone know if/where there is a...

As someone starting to take skeet seriously as a discipline I've been pondering what the ideal skeet gun is, not looking for makes as such more the physical characteristics. I've heard the current thinking is moving towards longer barrels and tighter chokes which to my thinking seems perverse...

Leading on from a couple of comments on another thread(s)........ Shooting is an individual sport unlike football etc., so an individual's score is not directly affected by the other members, HOWEVER just like team sports it takes each and every individual to play their part in order for the...

Entered my first comp yesterday about 18m earlier than I'd originally planned, not a great score but within the range I'd kind of set myself. In spite of the gusting wind from behind the low house and the pouring rain I really enjoyed myself and will be concentrating on Skeet for the...

Following on from the debate in General Matters I have a fairly simple question In which disciplines can you premount and in which is it against the rules Can you begin the mount as soon as you've called or do you have to wait until you see the clay I grew up rough shooting so mounting on...

Just out of curiosity I've been looking at some of the comp results and I see there are 4 classes in Clay shooting AA, A, B & C Can anyone give me a very rough idea of the average scores per class, I assume as a % so I have an idea of when it would be worth starting to enter competitions...

Hi, just starting out on clays after a couple of decades away from shotguns, so far joined a small local club and had a couple of lessons. Second lesson was to find and check out a reasonable clay gun before parting with my hard earned. Chose a Browning B525 sporter (30" multi) and hope to pick...
