    Funny ol' day

    Just got back from a round at High Lodge. Things just didn't go very well today. I had a few good stands but it was quite busy and I get put off and totally loose my focus when people are watching me, I then miss a few and feel like a bit of an idiot. On one particular stand, it had an A bird...

    Billy no mates!

    Yes that me! We not exactly, but only a couple that shoot and they aren't very good! Bit of a funny one, but how can I find some people to shoot with locally? 34 year old male, Aquarius, based in Suffolk, GSOH, would like to meet like minded people for some clay fun with a shotgun. Owen

    A gun for the wife

    I have the chance to buy one of 3 guns for my wife so she can shoot a few clays. Mine is obviously simply too big/heavy for her. The options are: Browning Citori 28g 28" fixed chokes, Black action, nice oiled stock, £1100 Browning B525 Hunter 28g 28" multi-choke, Game engraving, £1200 Webley...

    Shooting left

    After a little play on DTL at the weekend, I missed one with my first shot and then missed it with my second with Full choke. So I decided to have a play and leave them for a second or two and try and hit them with the Full choke at a slightly longer range. I was constantly missing them so I...

    Chokes

    This may be a short thread but please bear with me. I currently use two 1/4 chokes. I know if I'm on it, it doesn't matter what choke I use, but I was wondering if It would do me good to buy two Skeet chokes. What are your thoughts? Thanks Owen

    New to Pigeon shooting

    So I've bought some hide poles and netting, a few decoys and some cartridges. I've read all about setting out the decoys, and plan to go to my parents farm at the weekend to see if I can bag a few. They have several about but how would you find/contact farmers to get permission to shoot on...

    Wife using my gun

    My wife has expressed interest in "having a go at what you do". Would she be able to handle my 12 gauge sporter with some very light cartridges?

    Adjustable comb

    I've been having a play around with the set-up of my adjustable comb. FYI I'm a right hander. I used a homemade pattern plate to get the shot about where I think it should be. I read that you need to adjust the comb in the direction you want the shot to move. So if the shot is too far left...

    Waterproof jacket

    Can I ask what you look for in a waterproof? Do you prefer a lightweight packable one which you can layer up, or do you prefer a slightly thicker one so you were less under it? Do you have any recommendations? Many thanks

    Cartridge sizes

    I wonder if someone could explain something. A size 7.5 cartridge in 28g load is considered better for all types of clays. But a size 9 cartridge the same load is better for skeet. How does this work when shot size isn't much different but the size 9 has getting on for twice the amount of...

    What do you do *Extreme Beginner Question*

    Now I apologise in advance for this extremely beginner question, but it's something I've been wondering about. Let's say you are going to a clay shooting site for a few practice clays. What do you do with your cartridges? And how many do you take? Do you have a bag in your car with 5 boxes...
