    Sporting shoots. Where - and how did it go?

    Also went to Abbey, for the first time in many, many years. Was looking forward to it...(admittedly, perhaps through rose tinted glasses) catching up with old friends, the end of an era & the first time pulling the trigger in almost a year. Much as the cold & rain dampened our spirits a...

    Shooing Gloves?

    I've tried a whole range over the years from McWets to Barbour to Under Armour, Golf gloves, shooting gloves & even kid leather flying gloves. There is no panacea...basically pick any two of the following three options - warm, waterproof, tactile.  I found a pair of ski type gloves, (very...

    Howard Leight 'Max' (SNR 37) or 'Laserlite' (SNR 35) off the shelf ear plugs have come out on top in various independent reviews, (as long as they are worn correctly) beating both ear defenders & moulded products...a quick search on the Internet will give you various H&SE reports. In a...

    Changing Guns - your reasons

    1) 6/7 years (Miroku MK38 purchased second hand) 2) A new Beretta DT10, so would probably be considered an upgrade. It was better for me, as I went from 30" barrels to 32" 3) wanted to increase barrel length & weight to make myself steadier & also a bit of a treat to myself! 4) pretty...

    Berettaworld 2014

    Shot the event on Sunday, my first 'Major' in a long time. I thought the venue and setting were stunning and the shoot fantastic. Loved the targets, even the stands that slaughtered me (blanked one!) felt you had to earn each one as opposed to just avoid missing them. Professionally run event...

    bursitis

    Bursitis is swelling/inflammation of the bursa - little fluid filled sacks around your joints which help protect & cushion it. It can be caused by a few things, but repetitive movement is one of the main ones. I'd be surprised if it was recoil induced, continuous mounting of a heavy...

    Armi Salvinelli

    Friend of mine has shot a Monza (very well) for the last 10 years or so, chopped in a DT10 that he just couldn't get on with. He loves the gun, only issue he has had is its propensity to rust if not dried thoroughly, even in the time it takes to drive home...

    Barrels choked 3/4 and full and steel shot?

    I have been told by 2 different sources that '28g steel shouldn't be shot through tighter than 1/2 choke, however 24g steel can be shot through any choke constriction...'

    If you are contemplating running a charity shoot

    Having looked at the e-mail chain, The WWP has taken the following stance for whatever idealogical or business reasons it deems fit, amongst those I would guess would be a desire to protect the charity from some companies that would look to use the brand to add an air of legitimacy to their...

    If you are contemplating running a charity shoot

    Much as I am always wary of blindly accepting one party's side of the argument without hearing the other's (especially when they have a clear agenda), I can't see too much wrong with the Wounded Warrior Projects stance - "...they participate in hunts and shoots as fund raisers." "...but the WWP...

    Need some Help?

    If the gun fits you correctly, you like the balance & are happy with the way it shoots with your chosen cartridge then keep it & invest in a course of lessons...more likely to see an improvement in performance than changing guns. Failing that, all of the above are good guns, MK38 would...
