    Master Eye issues and remedies - both eyes open

    This is a very long read but I feel it will be helpful to people who are cross dominant :  There's been a few posts regarding Master Eye issues and products meant for helping those affected so I thought it might be helpful for some to hear of my experiences and the path I chose to combat it...

    Who is good enough to teach ?

    First things first, I am totally of the opinion that if you want to win big titles then as long as you're already of a decent standard (AA or A as a minimum), then your port of call should be one of a dozen or so world class "titled" coaches, but if your objective is to simply learn to shoot...

    Shoots are too easy nowadays

    A claim I have never adhered to myself but seeing as it keeps raising its comical, nay deluded head, perhaps we could have a little discussion as to why you think that may be the case ?! In preparation I spent a few minutes on CPSA stats and have surmised that during the last period a SINGLE...

    Velocity + 8's

    I've been using their 7.5's for a good few months now since dropping Eley Superbs due to rising costs and excellent they are too so was very happy to hear Gamebore are said to be starting to offer these in 8's which have always been my favourite.

    Choking on a decision part deux

    Hopefully this won't come across as too much of a moan at Ceasar Guerrini but regulars may remember I was hoping to change decades long allegiances from Beretta to CG by purchasing one of their Invictus M spec guns. Well it took 3 weeks before my RFD managed to get a price out of them for my...

    Shoots around Reading this Wednesday

    One needs to lose oneself for a few hours around Reading on Wednesday, does anyone know of any clay shoots that might offer a round of practice thereabouts this Wednesday ? :)

    Proper Cartridges

    This is aimed at George at the above company, I did consider pm'ing him but came to the conclusion that both he and many others here and elsewhere could benefit from the potential outcome. I would respectfully ask people to please kindly refrain from posting superfluous info or gems such as...

    Only in Thanet

    Only in Thanet, you will not believe what just happened... I went to the petrol station to get a drink, as I walked up I noticed 2 police officers watching some guy who was smoking while refuelling (really?!) I saw him and thought is he really that stupid ? Anyway I went in and got my drink and...

    Guns with POI adjustments

    Following on from the other interesting thread about comb height making a mechanical difference to POI  :smile:  I would like to ask the following : Why when £200 quids worth of adj comb can seemingly raise your POI at will, do so many manufacturers make guns with adjustable ribs and different...

    Southdown Selection / Inter counties 2/3 July 16

    Not sure if anyone has started one already but shot the ESP 100 birder there today as part of the Kent team and thought it an excellent layout, only a couple of stands that could reasonably be called close the rest medium to long birds and enjoyable to shoot. Nothing beyond 50 yards but it was...

    New Silver cased Eley Superb

    I've just e-mailed Eleyhawk about the new batch of Superbs which are now loaded in silver cases instead of the usual transparent ones, basically nocando if this is how it's gonna be. Having shot them side by side with the old transparent ones and the Olympic Blue's the new ones are too punchy...

    Churchill Challenge

    Three of us shot this yesterday all ending up on 81  :blink:  which looking at some of the names first attempts doesn't appear to be too bad, really enjoyable if a bit on the quickie over and done with side. If anyone is considering this then I'd recommend booking in two goes especially if...

    New Pilla lens sets for black clays

    Yesterday I saw on FB details of a new colour spectrum being offered to enhance black clays (I can barely contain myself  :lol: ) and today found this explanation :  For you those who want more info, here is a quote from Philip Pilla:"The use of this lens for shooting sports is an approach...

    Pull magazine

    Interview in this months mag with George Digweed and have to say it makes very good reading  :cool: , don't know about others but I really enjoy reading what the famous people have to say about the sport and George invariably comes across as on the money on several matters.

    Greenfields 1/02/15 Reg

    Great company with forum members Mark, Richard and Gary  :)  and we bumped into a fair few more, it was packed and a great set of (individual) targets in the main. It was very cold and extremely windy so a little surprised to find so many pairs together  :crazy: , this was the theme being...

    Southdown Reg ESP 25/1/15

    Having just made the last entry time with 2 min to spare I was too flustered to get any sort of score in, that and the fact that as no.156 entry it meant shooting all but a couple of stands blind without the undoubted benefits of watching a few being tackled, so my worst score (reg or otherwise)...

    What should a Reg round cost ?

    Not wishing to bust into the Horne thread it would be interesting to get both shooters as well as ground owners views on what exactly a round of reg ESP ought to cost ? I have lately paid between £30 - £38 for a 100 bird, anything over £35 makes me look around trying to spot the hot spa...

    What IS that target ?

    Some of you will be aware of a long discussion running on FaceBook regarding Fitasc and the rule disallowing setters in disclosing the type of target being thrown, many it seems believe they should know so that they can presumably devise a plan of attack, others like myself don't care mainly...
