Unsure where to put this, so Admins please move if desired. Anyone know about practical shotgun or given it a go? I've seen a few UK videos, but after googling I can't find much about it. I fancy going to watch if there is anywhere down South, see what it's like! Sent from my SM-G920F using...

So I've just done 50 practice at Owls, and I noticed half way though that when having shot, the bottom barrel cartridge has black around where it was struck, any thoughts? I've not seen it before, so I've no idea what could cause it. This is the first time I've shot since cleaning the gun last...

Does anyone else feel that they don't shoot enough? Or if they have time out finding it hard to get back into it? I used to try and go twice a month which I thought was pretty regular. I haven't been since Christmas so this Sunday with Santander will be there first time in 4 months!

As above really, does anyone on here blog? I've started one to follow my shooting development, but I know there are blogs for everything! If anyone does, I'd love to check them out, love reading about peoples experiences! 

So the question is, what will you be asking Santa for? Shooting related of course :D I'm hoping he brings me some MacWet gloves and maybe a shooting jacket for those cold summer days down south :brr:

Now we all know that shooting must have one of the best communities out there with people willing to help others out. A local shooter just upgraded his gun safe, and was extremely kind in giving me his old one. Now I got it home last night and propped it up in the garage until it gets fitted...

Has anyone seen this before? There was one on a semi auto in Rakers today, to just twisted the choke and it changed. I was surprised to say the least! It seems like a good idea, but considering it's the first I've seen or heard about it I can imagine it's not caught on! Any ideas why?

So I've been using MCSR since I started at the end of last year, however today it does seem very harsh in some cases. my example is my last 2 shoots. First was at my local which is always a relatively easy shoot, managed 31/50 or 62%. Fast forward today and I hit 46/100 or 46% at SouthDowns...

So I'm looking at a new budget gun. It's time that I hang up the ejectors of my stepfathers Miroku as it has high sentimental value and we don't want anything damaged! I did have a Baikal but the barrels were too short and gave it to my brother so that he can get into shooting. I was looking at...

So I am in need of some lessons! I've got to a specific point but after shooting today I really do need around 3-4 lessons to help iron out some issues I have. Lains's close to me, around a 45 minute drive and they are very well priced. I have been in contact with them and need to arrange a few...

Hello! So my partner does a lot of leatherwork and makes handmade handbags to sell, all shapes and sizes! She has agreed to make me a cartridge pouch, however she has been unsuccessful in finding a pattern for one. Does anyone have one or know where to find one? any help would be appreciated...

So I'm posting here as I still consider myself a new shooter and this is possibly a bit of a nooby question! So I currently share a gun safe with my step father, which is perfectly fine, however him and my mother are now moving further away so I need to have it at mine. My problem is however...

So today I've shot the best I ever have, my previous best was 15/50, today I hit 32/50 and then 22/50 (I got very frustrated 2nd time out, no other excuses). My problem today however, was my high crossers, both right/left and left/right. I missed every single one both times which was very...

So, as above really! Just wondering how often people shoot? I've only done Fareham Sporting, but I had been going every other week when it was on and I considered this to be quite a lot, however obviously it wasn't this weekend (and I was ill). Makes me wonder that if going twice a month is...

So as above really. Looks like it will be raining today and I was looking forward to leaving in a few hours for a shoot. Can I expect the shoot to still be on in the rain or will it be cancelled? If its on, anyone have any tips as I presume that the clays and cartridges will behave differently...

Does anyone know a good place to buy used equipment such as skeet vests and cartridge bags? As I'm just getting into it I don't want to spend lots of money on new gear, and placed like eBay don't have a lot to offer. Any links/guides are appreciated

So today I went to Fareham Clay Target Club to shoot Sporting, however the guy I go with decided he wanted to shoot Down The Line. Now I'm not very good so I didn't want to start a different discipline. I took my brother with me to push buttons and keep score. Now I did the 50 Sporting twice...

Hello! So although I've not been shooting long, my step-father feels that I should buy my own gun to learn with, rather than use his. Now I do agree with this but I was wondering what your thoughts where on this? Also, what is classed as a good, budget brand? My reason for asking is at my...

Hi all, I'm Corey from near Portsmouth, Hampshire. I've recently taken up Sporting Clays so I'm really here to get advice and meet folk who are into the same thing as me. I've been going with my step-father who is part of Fareham Clay Target Club so I'm pretty sure this is where I will join...
