I've been to Jebel Ali club, they have a skeet and sporting layout as I recall. Further out of Dubai than I thought, a good 20 minute drive from the centre. I forgot my passport, but thankfully my hotel faxed them a copy which they were happy with. Not bad service! They also have a pistol...

Just to conclude this thread, I saw Nigel today who took a look at my gun.  A few issues: The face of the barrels is not square to the rib which exaggerates the problem The thread of the choke is not in perfect alignment with the barrel axis The choke threads are not started at the same...

The key to consistency is independent of whatever you want to get good at, be it shooting or anything else. Practice is the only thing that really improves your technique, once someone has shown you what the right technique is. I'm learning to play electric guitar and there is no substitute for...

Thanks everyone, I was concerned about it, I have heard some bad tales about chores not fitting right. I too thought it was probably that my thread in the top barrel was not cut deep enough. I'll speak to Nigel and take my gun over there, I can do a fitting at the same time. Cheers Andy Sent...

The originals are flush, the new ones are extended (should have mentioned this). Here's a pic: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qpdyh43iwj73oma/2013-11-08%2019.01.48.jpg I'll be going to my local club on Sunday I'll see what they say over there. Failing that I'll give Nigel a call as suggested. Thanks

I decided to treat myself to some new chokes to replace the stock ones I got with my Miroku MK70 sporter. I checked the barrel and it said 'Invector' and this was also on the spare choke container, so I bought two Teague Improved Cylinder chokes for an invector barrel. I have just screwed them...

I got mine last year, it took about three months from the visit.

Three months in Avon and Somerset  :boredom:   :boredom:

Great advice. It's amazing how different the guns can feel - I was surprised at this. The Beretta's I tried were very light and the Brownings/Miroku's a bit heavier. I preferred the Miroku since it didn't seem to flap around in my hands - was nice and steady. Trying them out will make your...

I'm interested, though only just starting out. If you run all year then maybe I can practice a bit then come over as a novice some time after summer?

I agree with Robert in that there should be a line and certain types of firearm should be restricted from public ownership. As gun-owners, if we can promote a sense of social responsibility alongside gun ownership, then the anti-gun lobby will look ever more extreme and we will come across as...

Like the videos, thanks. Will try and get up to the ground once a week to get my eye in, will say hello if I spot you! Andy

Thanks for the tips :)

I've started two new hobbies recently, electric guitar and clay shooting. With electric guitar, there are many resources out there, books, YouTube videos, websites etc. that have a wealth of information regarding learning the guitar from scratch, including practice regimes and techniques. For...

I'm new to clays, but before I got my licence and started shooting I did a lot of research on the web, including using this forum, about safety procedures and etiquette. The information is out there and when I did my first practice shoot yesterday morning, I felt like I knew what to do regarding...

I have an Air Arms S400F Classic in .177 which I use for target shooting, very accurate and reliable gun. Made in England as well, no less (aside from the stock I think). For knocking down pigeons you probably want a multishot variety, so the S410 or S510 even, depends on your budget. If you...

I've just started in this game, but to me it's a bit like when I used to play golf. 99 shots were apalling but there was always 1 that made me feel like Tiger Woods (minus the infidelity), and it was enough to bring me back the next week. Same kind of thing with smashing a clay right in the...

Darn wish I could make this, wife is playing netball... grr. I'll make a contribution anyhow. Andy

So... after a week of hell at work, working evenings and just about meeting a deadline for Friday lunch, I decided to take the afternoon off and go to Ian Coley's in the spirit of supporting my local dealer, and getting some impartial advice. I met with a couple of guys from the shop, and an...

Everyone is on the same page here - looks like it's better to buy at a shop. I would prefer to support my local shop anyway, thinking about it.  Regarding budget, I have looked on guntrader and it does seem that the nice second hand Mirokus start at around 1000, which I could stretch to. I'm...
