I think rules 1/3/6 may have been infringed a bit. tut tut! Good job its only a forum, and not in the clubhouse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Time to get my hat and coat, and go! Enjoy your shooting. Bye!

Look at it another way. 9's have a limited range, due to energy loss through the size of shot. 7.5's or similar have a far greater killing range (50+ yards) So you do not need a 'long range' shot for close work. The more pellets the better, hence why 9's or equivalent are used. Unless a...

If there that bad, putting the end of the barrels in a crisp box or similar stops any un-wanted mess.

Or a pink camisole, by the sound of things! :.:

I use an old bath towel to lay the gun on. Any overspray is soaked by that. All the bits of toilet/kitchen paper used goes straight in the bin underneath.

If i was looking for a new cleaning kit, i would probably look on ebay. There are quite a few on there from around £10 upwards from reputable makes. Parker hale, Bisley etc

The OP also asked if he was mounting the gun correctly,(being new to shooting) Without some one telling him yes or no, he may well get to 'fit the gun' rather than getting the gun to fit him.

If you do not know anybody who can show you how to mount a gun properly, go to your nearest club/ground and ask them for some advice or an hours lesson.

How the rich lived! Had to make do with a catapult, i was not aloud to take a 410 out around the village :.:

Only in reverse though :.:

I can recall 4 moments off the top of my head by different people, over the years, all done while closing a gun with a finger on the trigger- results below DTL trap house shot Low house skeet shot Straw bale in front of a stand shot (while i was scoring) Me, nearly killed/badly injured when...

You may find that 'nominal' bore sizes have increased by as much as .010" over the years to what they used to be. So it puts standard 'choke' measurements out the window. Its actually the pattern thrown which counts at given set distances, regardless of bore diameter. Also different makes of...

Get him on a skeet range! Station 1/2 or 6/7 get him to consistently shoot 5 in a row on each to build his confidence. Half closing/squinting his right eye may help. After all he is not going to learn to shoot overnight!

No good to you Alan, as you need to have your barrels bored & threaded. I am not using them so cannot comment on them factually. Would i buy them? No!

Evening, and welcome along.

Its the FPS not the grams. At skeet ranges the amounts between a slow and fast cartridge will be in inches if your lucky! Concentrate on your technique, rather than worry about your carts. I never bother with how fast/slow a cartridge is at that sort of distance, or any come to that! just go...

Apart from one, what a bunch of numpties

Seen the light then, we wait for the verdict. I also prefer a trap fore end. :)

Oil for me. My guns are cleaned and re-oiled after every outing. Grease attracts particules and if not wiped off acts as grinding paste.
