I have found an App which is a collaboration of various medical research units such as Guys and St Thomas hospitals and Kings College London designed to report whether you are sick or healthy on a daily basis so that the spread of the virus can be tracked and to help the NHS react to the...

The Home Office has just published a consultation paper on increases to the Home Office Licence Fees for Section 5 Firearms, Museums and Shooting Clubs. For Shooting Clubs the Home Office licence allows clubs to let people without firearms certificates shoot firearms.  These can either be club...

Just a heads up about a new sporting ground that has come to my attention in Mid Cornwall run by Martin Elworthy at post code TR8 5BL. The second shoot attracted 181 guns! The ground evidently has a lot of great stands and a lot of work and earth moving has been put in to make it a great...

Had a father's day shoot today with my son Philip and his mate Phil and we joined 3 regulars who know this shoot well.  It was an open shoot aimed at B & C class shooters which Bill puts on a regular basis.  As such I got the impression that the course was eased slightly.  The regulars all...

Does anyone else get fed up trying to sort the wheat from the chaff in this listing of every shoot under the sun from practice to competitions? I would like to be able to search for Sporting related competitions which filters out every other discipline and also filters out anything to do with...

Someone asked me on Sunday why my gun was noisier than everyone else's. I said I didn't know that it was and could only suggest that as it was a Beretta 682 trap gun with full and three quarter chokes that might account for it.  I only shoot 28 gram cartridges which are Hull Comp X, Sportsman...

My son Philip and I have birthdays coming up so my wife and daughter organised today so we could have a day off shooting together.  Monday is not necessarily a good day but South West Shooting School, near Ilfracombe, is open every day of the week with shooting allowed to start at 10:30 and on...

I seem to have upset jwpzx9r in the recent Castellani thread when I was mildly cross that he thought anyone voting to exit the EU was mad.  I didn't intend to upset him so I apologise for that. Anyway I thought it might be interesting just to see what ShootClay Forum members think about the EU...

I had a, new to me, clay club suggested to me recently so I spoke to the organiser after exchanging emails and went for a shoot this morning. Its called Meltor Gun Club and they hold a 50 bird sporting shoot on alternate Sunday mornings.  There were about 30 shooting today and high gun when I...

Not sure where to put this but thought it might be interesting to some of you!

I wanted to go go clay shooting today either at Two Bridges or at Podimore but had already promised to attend the above event which was held at Budleigh Farm, Moretonhampstead.  Perhaps just as well as the forecast was for rain and at least one shoots under cover shooting small-bore at Budleigh...

I am in Canada with my wife Margaret to sort out her Dad's affairs as he died recently and to bring his ashes home to scatter.  Having completed the work side of the trip we thought a little retail therapy was in order today so we went to Vaughan Mills which is a ginormous factory outlet...

Ashcombe is only just up the road from me but I haven't been able to get there for months. There have been some changes! Solar farms have sprung up all around and the Skeet and DTL layouts have been lost as there is now a solar farm behind and obviously the panels would be damaged if shooting...

Well I just have to say something about this!  My rifle shooting has been c**p for a few years now.  I bought a Gemini aluminium stock and haven't got on with it so sold it but returning to my Anschutz rainbow 1913 laminated stock did not improve things.  Anyway I've had a 6 month layoff due to...

Here are pictures of the north range at Budleigh Farm, Moretonhampstead a south west mecca for small-bore target shooting, black powder, archery, air pistol and air rifle and some centre fire shooting.  The 50 metre and 100 yards range is rigged for the steel challenge which took place today...

The January/February Pull Mag has just dropped on the mat and with it you should find the profiles of the 3 candidates standing for National Director. Our own Peter Harris, Salopian on here, is standing so I have cast my vote for Peter. Don't waste your vote, do it now and the postage is...

Perhaps it would be a good idea to post up anything that goes to making your Christmas great on the food and drink front:- Mine is a long term family favourite passed down through the generations and that is Chestnut stuffing which we have been making today. First cut a cross in the bottom of...
