    Who to report poaching to?

    Unfortunately they get away with everything.  They are untouchable.  :angry:

    hide shooting with an auto

    Well I went in the opposite direction yesterday and took my beretta 682 pigeon shooting for a change.  OMG I had forgotten how much better I shoot with my O/U.  I am not the best of shots but managed 49 birds in just under two hours.  And the best bit was the fact the empty cartridges were all...

    hide shooting with an auto

    When I was a lad I had a butt clenching moment when pigeon shooting.  My little cocker jumped up for some fuss and as I pushed her down she hit the trigger with her claw and fired the gun.  Luckily it was pointing straight up and not at me but I absolutely s**t myself.  It still gives me goose...

    hide shooting with an auto

    That's exactly my problem. . :wink:   After a 30 years of using an U/O and only a few seasons with the semi, my brain just wants to flick the safety off with my thumb.

    hide shooting with an auto

    My two gripes about using an auto in the hide is it obviously spits cartridges everywhere. With the grass on the headland as long as it is, using a cartridge that isn't black or green really helps. The other is the safety catch.  I just can't get used to flicking it off with my trigger finger...

    Gun reviews on youtube

    Really enjoyed watching again this week.  I would love to see you compare the Benelli against a Beretta a400.  I fancy a new semi for pigeon shooting and had almost decided on an A400 but this video might have just made me change my mind.

    Proper Cartridges

    Who defines what capacity is. To the guy who is totally motivated by money and wants to earn as much as possible then capacity may well be 12 hours a day, 7 days a week.  For others that actually want a life it might be 8 hours a day, for 5 days a week and I am sure there are plenty of people...

    Proper Cartridges

    This is quite old as its from 2012, but here is the summary of accounts for Gamebore. I believe their turnover for last year was over £15m.

    booking a driven day

    Squimp has given some excellent advice and I would agree with everything he says but the real gem there is to get a bunch of friends together and buy the whole day. I have tried buying individual pegs through GOP and whilst I have had some reasonable days, I have also had some terrible days as...

    Trigger pull weight

    That's great information, thank you.  I have been in touch with L&L but they are snowed under at the moment so I will give Radcliffes a call.

    Trigger pull weight

    Thanks for the help folks. I live in Essex but after asking around I came to the conclusion that our local gunsmiths are more akin to blacksmiths and not recommended for trigger jobs.   One name that did come up as suitable was Ladbrook and Langton i.e. Gunrepair.co.uk.  Although they are in...

    Trigger pull weight

    Thank you, I will give it a try.  I have been doing the exact opposite and trying to put as much pressure on the trigger as I can before calling pull but what you say makes a lot of sense.

    Trigger pull weight

    I am checking it with a set of mechanical scales but they are not of the highest quality,  so could be out by some margin. .  I am sure the trigger is getting worse and never used to be this heavy.  I first started to notice the problem when I thought I was flinching.  Especially on slow or...

    Trigger pull weight

    I am going to have the trigger regulated on my 682 gold e as its never been the lightest of triggers at 5 1/2 - 6lb and after years of use has developed a tiny bit of creep.  What would people suggest as the perfect weight for sporting clays.  The gun never gets used for game shooting and vary...

    The ethics of Driven Shooting..

    You might be able to get local catering colleges on board to prepare the game and turn it into meals.  I bet they would jump at the chance to practice their butchery skills on feathered game.

    The ethics of Driven Shooting..

    This is inspiring.  Maybe one of the big shooting organisations should get on board with something like this and try and roll it out on a national level.  Something like the charity that takes food from supermarkets that is past its sell by date and distributes it to those that need it.

    The ethics of Driven Shooting..

    Now thats bloody brilliant!!!.  What a fantastic idea and a great way to promote game shooting and help good causes.  More shoots should do the same with any surplus birds.
