Barbury SSP and Sportrap sold out within 3 hrs so quite a few happy to pay the entry fee.

This years worlds sporting was probably the toughest shoot I have entered but by far the most enjoyable I have entered too. Weird as I didn’t score that well but seeing similar scores from other shooters made me feel a lot better. Shot in the rain and wind so it felt fairly relentless. I...

Apart from the overall weight of my MK38, which may be a factor when I get really old, I wouldn’t swap it for anything else. Spend the money on a nice holiday or stock up on cartridges before the price goes up.

I use power red plastic and fibre for all my clay Shooting and have done for years. I find the recoil less that Hull Superfast in both models. They give great breaks through 3/8 choke. The only time I use a different cartridge is for long range targets. 

I have a slab of Fiocchi Golden Pheasant fibre carts that I no longer require. Mixed slab of 100x32g 6 and 150x32g 5. All in original packaging and dry stored. £90 ONO  Based in Horsham but travel to shoots regularly eg Owls, Southdown, EJC, etc if you want to meet up. 

owls lodge also. good group and good targets with a very interesting twisting battue on stand 8. Haven’t shot super sporting before so didn’t know what to expect, but felt it needed a few singles to break it up a bit. I will have to give it another go to decide whether I liked it or not as my...

I always find the targets quite tough at High Lodge so I am not expecting anything different this time. It’s a sort of masochistic approach to my day with an 8 hour round trip thrown in! Unfortunately a night stop wasn’t an option…

Blaser Cup 2022 at Orston over 2 days this weekend. A really enjoyable event of 2 layouts of 75 with a break between. Really well organised, ran like clockwork and the targets were really good. I don’t shoot Orston very often but they have a fair chunk of land to use. The F16 layout was my...

Southdown sporting and sportrap layouts on Sunday were a good variety in perfect weather. What more can you ask for other than to win - but sadly not!! Nice to shoot with a fun squad that didn’t have cartridge tantrums when they missed 🤣

I have stopped shooting fitasc due to the cost of entry. I would welcome shooting Supersporting as an interesting alternative if it was the same price or close to it.

Really enjoyable sporting and sportrap layouts. All credit to the target setters for getting the balance spot on. My favourite comp of this year having been to most of the sporting and sportrap championships. A few days in  Yorkshire with some decent beer what’s not to like!

How much is it to enter this year ?

Overall I thought the targets across all the disciplines were really good. Nothing extreme albeit I found the Fitasc tough in the wind on Tue. The first time I have been to a comp and completed all the events. I really enjoyed it and would love to go the USA for one of their big events. Need to...

maybe all the targets will be blown closer to you 😂

Southdown. England selection shoot but not personally in the running - ha! Good targets over the sporting and sportrap layouts. A tougher sporting stand at the bottom of the lane with a big right to left climbing and a fast high driven midi off a high tower - great combination. Good to see a...
