Same as has been said above. Get some decent coaching to get the basics sorted. Eye dominance, stance, gun fit etc. etc. I spent months and months slinging shot downrange with not really any idea what\why i was missing. Few coaching sessions, the first one spotted I was cross dominant...

Hi Worcs, On a report pair If the second target is deemed a no bird and you have hit the first then it is scored as a hit\kill.  You then repeat the pair but have to be seen to shoot the pair as they are presented.  You can miss the first target but it's still a hit on the card.  If you make no...

It's been banned at Doveridge for at least 5\6 years. I use it for Skeet as do many others without issue, probably used 50K of them myself and never experienced an issue. Jon.

I had £1700 worth of damage caused to my car via a clay hitting the bonnet and wing.  Because of where the damage is on the bonnet they need to completely repaint the bonnet, both wings, front bumper wing mirrors and blend the 2 front doors.  Fuz and Michelle witnessed the damage when we got...

They were struggling to fill it..... Think there were 5 of us! Jon.

Hi Robert, I did the Safety Officers Course about 4 years ago and did it for the same reason as you, as a relatively new shooter then it was to gain additional knowledge of the Sport and as I had also just switched to an auto.  Thought the course was good and you get the Safety Officers manual...

If anyone needs info on CPSA Courses contact Cheryl at HQ as she manages them. I recently went on an ESP Referees course at Southdown which wasn't listed on the website or in Pull!  I only found out about it from the guy that was running the course whilst chatting to him at the BO ESP and...

Enjoyed it today, shot it with a sh*t load too much choke (34) stuck in the gun and forgot my choke key. Would have normally shot with 14 to 38, even so didn't do too bad for me, too much close stuff and i'm not good enough to shoot tight chokes at close stuff. Ended up on 54; however enjoyed...

Hi All, I have been wanting to change to a high rib setup for a few years but funds don't allow the Blaser F3 Pro or Kriegoff K80. Spotted a guy shooting a high rib auto at the White Gold Cup on the Friday whilst refereeing but didn't get chance to talk to him as it was busy. After looking...

Nice to see that HQ are taking a much more dilgent approach to make sure that the members money is used well and they are renegotiating contracts on renewal. To the rest of the Business World we refer to this as Corporate Governance, we have had to deal with renegotiating Contracts, Monthly...

Hull Intercomp HV 28g 9's were £200 a thou, Gamebore Super Steel 24g 9's were £115 a thou and the 28's about £124 We were buying 10k at a time direct from Gamebore via a club account (cost + a club contribution). Therefore saving £85 per thou, multiplied by 20 comes to £1700 on my abacus.  The...

I use Steel for skeet and have shot tens of thousands of them without issue.  When I was shooting 20k+ a year the cost saving per thou paid for 7 practice rounds. For everything else I use lead. Jon.

They are flash clays full of powder, not the exploding ones :) Jon.

Hi Jane :) Lynn and I must pop down soon :) Jon. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Certain inflammatory, unnecessary  and obnoxious posts have been removed. targetchip...  You are welcome to your opinion but to blatantly accuse one of the leading sports optometry specialist of talking rubbish is not the smartest move.  I suggest you do a bingle etc on eye dominance and do...
