    For the individual Im aware of thats not the case, this is too small a community to hide such

    Celtic but not

    Seeing a few leaving CPSA (EE) and cropping up as Scotland (SS) despite, in my counties case being near other end of country, anyone privvy to any perceived benefit of ship jumping?

    Shoot reports and news 2024

    Fair few years back used to shoot the old style fitasc set by Steve Nutbeam at Longridge, this your 50-break-50 and all done in half day, this system restricts overall entry to 48 a day 96 weekend which is really restrictive income wise. Like you I really struggle with the long days, mentally...

    Old vibrant red double deckers? As the tale goes they wanted a target needing one then you got two at once 🤪

    To Choke Or Not ?

    Teague multi choked a MX2000S for me, thin wall, have also had them remove a stuck choke (operator neglect) and then make chokes for my MK38 Trap which is Briley cut, this by the original owner, the service at all times was first class, I know of a great may others that use the company, none...

    The length of a shot string

    Just a typo but always thought it was RMCS not RCMS? Back in 70s us oiks and others from Lechlade (now Lechlade-on-Thames) used the play the officers there at cricket, first game of year and it was always the second Saturday in April, every time there we had an absolute hoot, no between innings...

    Shoot reports and news 2024

    Coleys today, was fully booked out, desk said 180+ which included a few non reg entries, for Saturday 1st week in February that's pretty impressive. Weather (we started at 12.30) was more than decent, crumbs Ive been there middle of summer with far worse so spoilt really. Was first up on St1 a...

    CPSA smiles on the north!

    Jonz, I probably worded that staff thing poorly, CPSA will have bodies on the ground all shoot days, they handle all the shoot admin, entry desk / numbers / queries / return of scorecards / collating and the live scoreboard etc. They will be there from day 1 till end of final day, I doubt very...

    Shoot reports and news 2024

    Have just looked at entries, Coleys for Saturday all 31 squads full, 180+ for a first weekend in February, that's pretty impressive, far cry from the early days there when 30-40 of us was the norm. If any of you are also there I will be the tall skinny drawn out and looking totally bemused one.

    CPSA smiles on the north!

    MyWynno, you know well that does not happen at the majors. "Targets Only" option for major shots has been removed prior to 2023 season, and all of the £10 comp entry says in class. Its a feature of the event that the minor place cash in AAA always receives far less than in A B & C due to the...

    CPSA smiles on the north!

    Ok, I will bite on all those baited hooks, now Im not privy to any of the perceived masses of sponsored cash input, nor will I, on purely a lack of competitive ability (even in steerage class) going pop north to shoot it. That all said Im thinking that £83 entry (which includes the £10 comp...

    Time for a treat

    That's the experience of buying new made to measure golf clubs, sadly there are very few grounds where you can go to have a fit taken and then sent away to have a made to measure shotgun, and in the vast majority of cases these guns will all be made abroad. Most new guns are bought off the shelf...

    Time for a treat

    I have no experience of Premier Guns, Coleys however one does, and mine and a fair few others that I know had times where it fell well short of yours
