Take the turret off and it looks like Valencia..... L. O. L.

Restaurant nice....like many of the Spanish, Italian, Portuguese clubs (trap clubs....not sporting L. O. L. )

 
Looks a bit better than what we are used to mate.

Bet your glad to be home in the relative cool of UK ??

Anyway get that big lump hammer out and give the perazzi a proper good smack that should sort it no problem. :)

Of course the prices reflect the place. £40 for a round of sporting inc cartridges and gun hire which I guess isn't that bad.

Took along a work colleague who had never shot before and he absolutely loved it.Another convert me thinks. Already taliking about applying for his ticket.

Unfortunately not back in the UK. I'm marooned here for another 6 days!!

Hazel wants one too....are you at Owls tomorrow?
Unfortunately I will be at work, although Hazel will be off tomorrow for the summer holidays, so I will ask her later if she wants to drive down there and meet you, prehaps she could bring a cd with the photos from the yesterday for you, having been on the go allday yesterday neither of us fancied wading through the photos when we got home.

 
See Mr blocky in a very fetching fiocchi skeet vest the other day .

Someone can always shoot it.....and the finger is not an ideal accurate measuring tool.

 That is simple not true! The human finger tip is one of the most sensitive measuring tools know to man! I agree you cannot use it to say that cap is two thou lower than the other BUT ask any body who does a job where hand tools, sanding ,filing etc are used and they will tell you how accurately the human digit can detect the minute differences between one surface and another. Common trades would be gunsmiths, panel beaters and cabinet makers who would in their everyday life turn to the humble digit for their guide !

Not sure why you need to tell me that.....I work with wood everyday ....But back to feeling primers after thy fail to go off by rubbing the finger over the top when looking in awe as to why it failed to go off.....it is a waste of time because the primer can be moved by the failed attempt.....true story...!!

And.....someone can put it in their gun and shoot it. I have taken people's 'failed' cartridge and fired them no problem.....just saying..!!

Aye but not what the man said he said he checked the carts against others of the same make and type before firing and detected a difference .... true story!  Reason it failed to fire ... badly made product .........again true story! Just saying!

 
I am sure you are right.

I only shoot quality and so do not suffer from these annoying little problems....true story.

Now listen pal, I had to re mortgage me little tin roof shack that as no lectric or running water so as to but they fancy shells! I thought I may be able to get me shoes re soled this winter, but not now I got them there shells. In fact I will be needing the empty shell boxes to put in the bottom of me shoes this winter. :laugh:

 
If you lived somewhere really posh like berkshire or surrey you would be able to afford them there shoot offs at approx 350 quid per thou :)

£350!!!???? You could buy West Dorset for that much. I think Nic lives in Berkshire, she shoots fancy shells and one of they posh shootin irons. She must be rich I reckon, I think she as a gun room and as a little man from the village come in to clean er guns! :laugh:
