    How things have changed on here.

    All is well.  I got an email from Ian and we are back in contact.

    How things have changed on here.

    Zombie thread but anyway Yes, Nicola is the lady that you remember.  She is still way active in the sports and practically daily on facebook.  I'm not so sure about how easy she was to wind up.  She still feels no obligation to suffer fools and I've never noticed her adverse to offering facts...

    Trap guns

    So I'll drop this into the rest of the sea of pretty much useless comments.  High shooting guns do not work for me and only really work in a very limited environment.  I hear people talk about high shooting first barrels for some things and I have to think that those folks are near god-like to...

    Journalism in this country

    Journalism is about money.  Controversial subjects sell sell way more than Mum's budgie died.  The world for most people is how it's portrayed in the media.  Shooting sports are seldom if ever presented as a respectable activity - all that barbaric killing things donchano I mean, I just...

    RIP ...40up

    I regret being so late to this.  Although I only knew Mr. Thornley from his posts here, he certainly was a contributor to be read.  I have some great respect for Ian's judgments so I have to believe that Mr. Thornley was a person well worth knowing and will most certainly be missed.  Outliving...

    Every inch you add to the barrel length gets you just that much closer to the target !  And THAT'S all that counts ! ! !

    Trap Shooters

    The IOC is pretty intent on removing all shooting from the Olympics anyway but pingpong and skateboarding are def in good numbers so you should get into one of those.  Or rhythmic dancing - always an ex-shooter favorite I'm told.

    686 barrel weights

    The simplest method I've come up with for this is to just wear a heavy stainless case wrist chronograph.  The Speedmaster is 105gm and I've found that quite effective.  I maintain the balance of the gun with a silver ID bracelet on the right wrist.  You can fine tune the system with a variety of...

    What vest?

    I have to disagree on the pouch thing,  Having something hanging from my waist is not comfortable at all to me.  Only one of several reasons that vests came into my life 30+ years ago. JMO of course

    What vest?

    I've been using Beretta vests of several types for 6-8 years now.  Reasonable prices, excellent quality, happy with all of them.  They have all come with removable pads that I don't use but may be the hot setup for some.

    Once Upon a Time

    Once upon a time, a Knight in Shining Armour asked a beautiful Princess, "Will you marry me?" The Princess said, "No!!!" And the Knight in Shining Armour lived happily ever after and flew aircraft all over the world. He rode motorcycles, went hunting, camping, fishing, raced hot cars...

    Cracked stock

    Stocks crack for a variety of reasons, the most common in my experience is that the thing has not been properly fitted to the action to start with.  Make sure that it is properly done after the repair or it may be necessary again.   just a thot Charlie

    Shooting fitness

    Everyone makes their choices.  If you choose not to optimize your performance capabilities that is certainly your option.  Someone else's talents, physical condition, and habits do not affect what you do or how well you perform.  That is entirely up to you.

    Shipwreck

    A Kiwi was washed up on a beach after a terrible shipwreck. Only a sheep and a sheepdog were washed up with him. Looking around, he realised that they were stranded on a deserted island. After being there a while, he got into the habit of taking his two animal companions to the beach every...
