For some reason it feels like its been a long long season, Welsh OT selections started in late March, and we have just finished our last big comp a week ago over in Italy. I have been banging on about how I'm looking forward to a break don't want to look at an orange disk until the new year. A...

First registered shoot for Griffin Lloyd shooting ground yesterday since their recent re-fit. Both trap layouts have had the old promatic/fairey traps replaced with new Matterelli machines, and re wired with multi-pull electronics. Targets were excellent. One of the best backgrounds in the...

So who's going? I was having to give this a miss, but a last minute change of plan due to being offered a good price for one of my kidneys means I'm doing the Saturday selection! Is the weather going to hold out, or are we going to get the legendary Nuthampstead 'four seasons in one day'?

Who's shooting the OT selection at southern counties this coming weekend. I've already greased the gun ready! Could be a wet weekend by the looks.

This is pretty damn lazy of me but just to save me trawling through current Issf rules... As of a few years ago I thought it was only OT that didn't allow the use of ported chokes in the fast trap disciplines.Anyone know the current situation regarding them for OT UT and ABT. I can't remember...

21 sporting stands with a high pheasant area and simulated grouse butts, nearly all stands wheelchair accessible. Stone roads to all stands with room to park near most. Skeet range, and trap ranges are up a shallow gradient. These ramps are currently  being extended and widened to make it easier...

Level access to all trap,skeet and sport trap layouts with smooth concrete paths. All control boxes at low level. Clubhouse also level, with a Disabled toilet. Worth remembering its on a mountain, so quite a trek up/downhill to some layouts, though it is possible to drive to most of them if you...

As above for an adjustable stock (point out the obvious there Sid) mx8. Anyone got one lurking in the back of the cabinet?!

After taking a couple of months off from shooting due to arrival of our first child, I finally got to pick up the Perazzi and chuck some lead down range for a birthday treat yesterday. Never thought I would miss it so much, had even made noises about giving up and 'retiring'. Lasted about a...

Remember the guy 'Jonesy" who used to do the sound effects with his mouth? Watch this clip, especially if your a Led Zep fan. Amazing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTpd_RTTYkc

Quick question for the fellow Perazzi owners, need a couple of little jobs done on my old faithful, new top lever spring and a little tighten up (h bolt perhaps) as lever now central. Who would you reccomend? Ideally someone with a reasonable turn around as don't want to be without the old girl...

Shot the GB selection shoot at SC this weekend, think that must of been one of the toughest I've ever shot. Five layouts of arse kicking targets, 16 squads, and dozens of excuses! As ever was great fun but bugger me did it seem tough. Sun even made an appearance on Sunday..... After we had...

Cant decide if I want to go to the show this weekend or not, need to be persuaded one way or the other please!!

Just noticed this on the WCTSA facebook page...thought I would pass it on. "There will be a memorial sporting shoot to remember the life of Tony King at Mid Wales Shooting Centre on Sunday 24th March 2013"

Realised lately that there are a few more shooting grounds with OT and/or UT layouts than I had first thought. A few with just a single practice layout? Thought it might be useful to have a list of grounds Ill start the ball rolling with the well known ones, hopefully the rest of you will chip...

Has anyone here considered or had Hypnosis to help sports performance. Its something that really intrigues me. Mr Coley, would love to hear your thoughts on it?

Want to really push the boundaries of my Marriage next year and find out just how much I can go shooting without it all ending in the Divorce courts. Also I AIM to keep successfully destroying all shooting related receipts to ensure the above doesn't happen.  More seriously: Welsh Top 5 (at...

Had a go at the 'new improved' double trap at South Wales 2000 shooting ground last Sunday. Only had time for one round, but I was impressed. Lot of fun, though quite different to the 'old' format. Tempted to shoot a bit more of it next year. Can recommend having a bash!

Who's off to Southern Counties to shoot the British Grand Prix on the 1st of september then? Entry fee is a bit of a bargain, in contrast the George Albert Hotel on site is not! Cheap travel lodge for me I think!

For those who may be interested the ISSF have been good enough to add a short film of the Disabled Olympic Trap Grand Prix that took place at the end of the recent World Cup round at 'Trap Concaverde', Lonato. Click below. :D
