I'm working through a similar issue just now and finding it incredibly frustrating.  I am slowly getting myself to the point where i pick up the target with both eyes open then dim/close my left eye entirely.  That initial picking up of the target with both eyes helps very much with perception...

Those are not pockets, they are access panels for the heavy weight nipple clamps and chain he is wearing.  Possibly an early and rudimentary FITASC line.

For the record I agree with your stance in respect to the police adhering to the law.  I think it is essential that the police and any prosecution authorities are held to a rigorous standard otherwise abuse of process becomes a reality. As to whether the police had followed due process in...

A bit late to this discussion, however it may be worthwhile to some.  I shoot all flavours of the F3 cart and like them very much, mainly use the piston but use the red ones for edgy or far away targets and the splatty green ones for the closer in stuff. I had problems with one order of...

What a curious thread, a poster living in France is celebrating the acquittal of an Australian shooter on firearms offences (in Australia) whilst specifically referencing the common miscarriages of justice by UK police and wrapping it all up as an insidious conspiracy. Add in a few personal...

I thoroughly enjoyed the shoot on Wednesday, it really is a lovely ground and they use the topography very well. I am a little frustrated at not booking on for the sportrap as well, however I thought 220 targets in a day along with the trip back and forth from Scotland might have been a bit of...

If it helps your confidence on close in targets then use a splatty cartridge like the Fiocchi F3 Bior or Hull Pro Piston, both size 9 shot.  It likely wont make any physical difference at all, but the confidence of knowing that you have a slightly wider pattern may just give you the confidence...

An argument over semantics, whether logical or lexical, seems a little bit daft to me when absolutely everything about the event recognises sporting achievement. If it was all about an individuals personality (charisma) rather than the personality (person) then any sports person could win, even...

The odd thing is that the tongue in cheek comment from Andy about supporting anyone but England was him showing a bit of personality, the interviewer gave him a bit of cheek about Scotland not being in the finals and he returned in kind, but he was slaughtered for what was an obvious tongue in...

He has pretty much single handedly transformed British tennis and will have motivated thousands to take up the sport.  I struggle to understand why so many people wish to deny Andy Murray the plaudits that he richly deserves.

Far too often an essential part of my shooting :)

No need for me to calm down, i'm not agitated.  Just utterly dismayed at such a show of ignorance.  To quote yourself from another current thread...   Don't you appreciate the hypocrisy of what you suggest in this thread re semi auto's when considered against your process of consideration on...

So because you don't like them you would deny anyone the opportunity.  So perhaps those that shoot sporting clays, but have recoil issues that a semi-auto makes a world of difference to and actually allows them to continue in the sport; the pigeon/crow shooters who get a huge benefit from having...

I am sure that I read somewhere that CG and Fabarm are intertwined somewhere alone the line, but every chance that mistaken and if so then i'm sorry for a misleading post. If for nothing else other than idle curiosity I shall see if I can find out what led me to believe such a thing.

Congratulations on the new gun Chris, it is a great choice that you have made.  I hope that you have much success and happiness with it.

I think that the issue is slightly different than described, I would suggest that the majority of people most likely don't really have an opinion about shooting sports at all. If there is a negative news story then they may form a slightly negative opinion on the basis of that, but it is a...

I have found on targets that need a lot of lead that if I only look at the clay I will miss, I lose the relationship between the target and the gun. I tend to shoot maintained lead and on targets needing a lot of lead then it is a mixture of maintained lead to get the line and target speed then...

Do they have a funky 70's sleaze boogie soundtrack?

You can shoot sporting perfectly fine with a trap gun, many do. As there is no desperate rush to buy this gun why don't you get the details of a good instructor local to you and book a lesson, take the gun along with you.  A decent instructor should have access to a couple of guns that you can...

That is an awful lot of gun for £850, but as said before the most important thing is that it fits you. I would buy that gun for that money, but you have to be happy.
