We over here would love to have direct import of Miroku.  Just sayin'.  

Are we talking "trigger freeze" like "I couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger at the right time" a/k/a "the yips" or are we talking about "trapping the trigger" as in "I pulled it on the first target, but didn't let the damn thing go to break the second one."  I have never done the former...

75 Pounds an hour is like.......$105 bucks an hour?  That is a steal compared to what I pay over here for coaching from National Champion level coaches.  

Over here 'cross the big pond, the Wild Hare Tournament bag is by far the most popular.  Of course, with the proliferation of golf carts, speed buggies, and stretched side by sides (all of which I detest on a clays course), you see less bags and more "racks of stuff on the cart."  I think most...

Sporting 1/2 and 1/2; Skeet 1/4 and 1/4; Trap Full, and Full/Full (for doubles).    

I have seen someone trip and drop an unloaded gun on pavement (cart path).  It smushed the end of his extended choke, but the barrel "crown" was fine.  Can't say as much for the stock, tho.  

I consider them an excellent system, but a "splurge item."  Randolphs or Castellani's are fine, too.  If you look, you can find good deals on barely used Pilla lenses for $100 or so.  I never see a good deal on the "frames."

Those Yildiz Pro guns go for $4,000 US street price here (to the extent any have sold).  You guys are getting them way cheaper than over here!

There is a huge problem with inexperienced ref/trappers/scorekeepers here across the pond.  I have had to explain the "no bird" rules to many a trapper/scorekeeper enough times that it makes me weary, even at State Championships in states with several hundred shooters in the main event.  I have...

I have a Leatherman Wave in my shooting bag.  YMMV. 

They are very common in U.S. ATA trap, and there are a few seen at sporting clays.  I am not sure about skeet.  This is due to many people find going to a release trigger (or a release/pull trigger as the case may be) helps with eliminating an acquired flinch.  Some do not.  There is quite the...

I don't know this brand, being across the pond and such.  However, having had electronic plugs from 3 manufacturers over the years, I have found the best way to deal with wind noise is to simply dial down the gain/volume on a windy day.  I miss the early ESP's that had a "target" setting where...

Adam:  Have you tried just removing any recoil pad/butt-plate, and removing the stock bolt? That might be all it needs without removing the screws.  Then again, I could be wrong.

Ordered 5 flats (slabs?) of Fiocchi Shooting Dynamics at $62 per each with FREE SHIPPING (saving about $40 USD in shipping/hazmat fees). 

I will miss his rigorous testing of all things shotgun.  He changed the way I think about many of the "old wives' tales" of shotgun shooting.
