Hi All, I'm just wondering what everyone's opinions are on pre-mounting the gun in sporting, is it a case that you will pre-mount for some quick/troublesome targets or does everyone mount when they see the clay? I only ask because I'm a serial pre-mounter....I can't seem to hit anything if I...

What do you do, when you don't know what to do? I was shooting today and doing pretty well, I came across one stand today where the wheels completely fell off. The bird was a L-R Crosser, fairly low to the ground, not moving particularly quickly and was quite far out to start with.  I tried...

Hi All, Just thought I'd do a quick post on Grimsthorpe ESP from the 9th October. It was my first registered shoot and while I have shot at Grimsthorpe as Birds Only I thoroughly enjoyed the day. It was  game of two halves for myself. I dropped a lot of birds in the first few stands (Stand 5...

Hi, My local ground has installed a ClayMate system now which I can only suspect is the result of some dishonest shooters. It's my first experience with the system and I think it works quite well as the ground allows you to have extras on your card for "seeing a pair". However, I was confused...

Hey All, Im looking to increase the amount of shooting I do as the family I currently go with don't have much time on their hands at the minute. I feel like every time I go out on my own I don't perform as well. If there's anyone in Lincolnshire area that fancies meeting up at any grounds give...

Hi, I've been looking at trading in my Browning B725 Sporter at my local gun shop where I bought it from. there's nothing wrong with the gun itself it's just that I've been advised that a 30" barrel is too short for myself, I'm 6' 3" fairly well built. Not sure how true this person advice is...

Hi, Is there any particular amount of shooting that anyone would recommend to do over a weekend to get better at Sporting .e.g 100-200 birds?  I'm trying to get out as much as possible and feel like I'm not making any progress after a few good weeks and I'm only getting to small local shoots...

Now then, just returned from a 100 sporting competition and I've been shooting various different cartridges over the last few weeks/months and despite everything I've read and been advised that cartridges don't make a great deal of difference to breaking clays I've been chopping and changing...

Hi,  Does anyone know if you shoot at Grimsthorpe over the Easter bank holiday?  Also do I have to be CPSA registered to shoot the ESP 100 Reg on the 26th March or can I just turn up for birds only?  Thanks 

Hey, How does everyone clean the outside of their barrels?  I wipe mine down with a silicone cloth but it seems to leave a "smear" as it were. Any suggestions?

Hi All, I went out shooting today to my local clay ground and I've found myself a bit disappointed with how things are going with my shooting performance. I shot 55/75 today which had been my highest score but I see people shooting 70+ on a regular basis at this ground. What can I do to get my...

Hi, I've had a few issues with my B725 Sporter and my local gun shop has had to send it back to browning. Just wanted to know if anyone has had any experience with Browning warranty and their turnaround time for repair. (my gun requires a replacement firing pin) Also if the repair is on going...

Evening All, I've been struggling to get hold of some of new cartridges (Express Power blue 28gm 7 1/2) in my neck of the woods, Lincolnshire. I check my prices on the Just Cartridges website but I've only just read that they can deliver. Is that to residential or clubs only? I honestly...

Hi All, I was just wondering if anyone else had used Lyalvale Express English Sporters before? The reason I ask is I'm having a lot of issues with a few slabs I've purchased recently where atleast 2 in each box don't fire.  When I remove the cartridge I can see the head of the cartridge has...
