I've been to Jebel Ali club, they have a skeet and sporting layout as I recall. Further out of Dubai than I thought, a good 20 minute drive from the centre. I forgot my passport, but thankfully my hotel faxed them a copy which they were happy with. Not bad service! They also have a pistol...

Just to conclude this thread, I saw Nigel today who took a look at my gun.  A few issues: The face of the barrels is not square to the rib which exaggerates the problem The thread of the choke is not in perfect alignment with the barrel axis The choke threads are not started at the same...

The key to consistency is independent of whatever you want to get good at, be it shooting or anything else. Practice is the only thing that really improves your technique, once someone has shown you what the right technique is. I'm learning to play electric guitar and there is no substitute for...

Thanks everyone, I was concerned about it, I have heard some bad tales about chores not fitting right. I too thought it was probably that my thread in the top barrel was not cut deep enough. I'll speak to Nigel and take my gun over there, I can do a fitting at the same time. Cheers Andy Sent...

The originals are flush, the new ones are extended (should have mentioned this). Here's a pic: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qpdyh43iwj73oma/2013-11-08%2019.01.48.jpg I'll be going to my local club on Sunday I'll see what they say over there. Failing that I'll give Nigel a call as suggested. Thanks

I decided to treat myself to some new chokes to replace the stock ones I got with my Miroku MK70 sporter. I checked the barrel and it said 'Invector' and this was also on the spare choke container, so I bought two Teague Improved Cylinder chokes for an invector barrel. I have just screwed them...

I got mine last year, it took about three months from the visit.

Three months in Avon and Somerset  :boredom:   :boredom:

Great advice. It's amazing how different the guns can feel - I was surprised at this. The Beretta's I tried were very light and the Brownings/Miroku's a bit heavier. I preferred the Miroku since it didn't seem to flap around in my hands - was nice and steady. Trying them out will make your...

I'm interested, though only just starting out. If you run all year then maybe I can practice a bit then come over as a novice some time after summer?

I agree with Robert in that there should be a line and certain types of firearm should be restricted from public ownership. As gun-owners, if we can promote a sense of social responsibility alongside gun ownership, then the anti-gun lobby will look ever more extreme and we will come across as...

Like the videos, thanks. Will try and get up to the ground once a week to get my eye in, will say hello if I spot you! Andy

Thanks for the tips :)

I've started two new hobbies recently, electric guitar and clay shooting. With electric guitar, there are many resources out there, books, YouTube videos, websites etc. that have a wealth of information regarding learning the guitar from scratch, including practice regimes and techniques. For...

I'm new to clays, but before I got my licence and started shooting I did a lot of research on the web, including using this forum, about safety procedures and etiquette. The information is out there and when I did my first practice shoot yesterday morning, I felt like I knew what to do regarding...
