    Handedness and eye dominance

    Shoot left handed, but right eye dominant. Also need prescription glasses for shooting. I use a little opaque patch on the right lens and everything is sorted.

    laser eye surgery

    No one in their right mind would pay £395. I paid £2800 8 years ago at a London clinic, which was about the same as Optical Express once you added all the good options. I still think it was good value: £2800 one off payment vs 20 years of buying at least 2 pairs of specs every couple of years.

    What chokes for sporting clays?

    For the past year I have been using 1/2 and 1/2 and never fiddled with them whatever the target. Except for the last stand (really close rabbit)  about 6 weeks ago, when I put cyl in the bottom barrel.. Fast forward to last weekend. A 90 bird club shoot with a good mix of targets. 2nd from...

    laser eye surgery

    I had mine done about 8 years ago after 40 year+ wearing specs. It took me almost 3 years to pluck up the courage to go for it, and an awful lot of research. In the end I went to a clinic in London ( PM me if you want to know which one) that looked like they had all the latest equipment. They...

    Gamebore Blue Diamond

    I noticed this on Sunday at a club shoot. Lots of little bits of dimpled plastic all over the place, about the thickness of a Tesco carrier bag, but much stronger. The club cartridge was Lyvale english sporter fibre 28g and there were lot of people using them, but I cant be sure that's where...

    Since I turned 50, my doctor has started calling me in each year for an MOT. Can't be a bad thing really. Haven't had any fiddling with the prostate yet, but I guess it's only a matter of time. :startle:

    Well man - or not?

    My Dad is almost 81 and for as long a I can remember, his diet consisted of bread and dripping, piles of mashed potatoes with lashings of salt and home grown veg. As he says every time we take him out for a meal " I don't like my food mucked about with" After his last MOT, the GP said he was...

    Well man - or not?

    I was prescribed statins just over a year ago as cholesterol was a tad high.  Gave them up after a week of massive headaches and generally feeling like crap. Remember. You only get a hangover if you stop drinking  :fie:
