Sorry I meant that any light going thru that red bead of yours was filtered by your polarised glasses. Making it appear black.

For your black bead, it's very likely the effect of the angle of the light in interfering with the polarising filter on your glasses. 

That's exactly what I was trying to say, with loads of numbers added to make it look I'm clever :-)

Ah, mixed message all around then. Last year I 'booked' the day before and it was Ok. I've just messaged Rob to ask him as there's nobody manning the facebook page (and I HATE calling the front desk there :-)) Now I just hope my foot gets better, been limping for a week and it doesn't help with...

Does anyone make sense of the description at https://www.ejchurchill.com/world-sporting-championship-2019/ Is it actually FITASC, or sporting? "12 stands", "no need to book" while their PDF says "please book in advance" -- I wish they'd hire someone with a bit of a sense of how to write...

My entire point is that they are lowest recoil *including 24g* carts...

As far as recoil goes, a while back i tried pretty much anything 24g I could get my hands on, and I never found any of these with less recoil than my 28g CompX fiber. I tried (again) TT1s 24g over the week-end and sure enough, still kickier than the old compx. So there is more to recoil than...

Accidentally buying cars is pretty much normal really, I see nothing wrong with that. It's like the odd shotgun. I shot Flighline 80 birds this morning. It was a bit so-so, quite a few stands with just one trap, which I find a bit boring. And at least 3 or 4 were of the 'DTL grade' sort of...

Using a 7 1/2 pellet lead pellet at 500ft altitude, I get these from the rather handy calculator I found there: http://www.ctmuzzleloaders.com/ctml_experiments/shot-ballistics/shot-ballistics.html Yards..Vel....Energy...Drop...Drift....TOF(sec) 0      1350   5.2     0.0     0.0     0.000 10  ...

I bought a slab of "superbs" in a "luxury" case at Wiltshires Rods&guns the other week (under their own branding/boxes), and I was very pleased with them. A bit kicker than my compx, but they were making very nice dustballs in my backbored barrels. I would try them again, given a chance.

What I like about JC is that they have 'unusual' things. I buy the 2"3/4 inch 34g steel load I shoot at ducks/geese from them (RC3) and I can't find them anywhere else. They have a HUGE range of stuff, onsite. I thought their previous 'shed' was a lot of fun, but the new warehouse is scarily...

Nice to see you today @Will Hewland and @Hamster -- I did OK on the first part, then we had a break to walk the pup and I wasn't so 'hot' on the second part somehow. Since it's my first sporting in nearly a year -- with a broken toe (got I LOVED climbing that hill!), I can't complain too much...

And a lot less windy too! Very nice video, thanks for posting.

I shot the Perazzi on friday; it was VERY windy and some of the targets were a bit out of my league. Definitely didn't like the MIDI's in general, and the ones on the green course in particular.  Appart from the wind and the occasional shower, it went well, some of the targets were really nice...

I've finally registered with the CPSA, whoohoo. I did it so I could shoot the FITASC at the World Champ at Churchill - which I did. Never realised it would actually take the whole *day* to shoot 100 carts, it was hot, I was bored out of my mind and quite frankly more or less gave up the last set...

@FloodDefence no idea what you are talking about... Weather for friday is going to be horrendous apparently; just my luck! Hope all you guys are spared on saturday/sunday!

Aww sorry to miss you there; just remember to stay WELL CLEAR of Rhayader on Saturday, as it's carnival day -- most of the town will be blocked to traffic.

Got a sneak preview of the stands last week-end, it's looking pretty awesome; they've actually have a course that must be a mile long. I was not supposed to be in Wales next week-end, but I shuffled the calendar and I'll be driving down thursday and shoot friday.. Anyone else going?

Wrong week-end for me, unfortunately. How do you guys do it, shooting, 1, 2 or 3 registered in one day? I know I can shoot 300 in a day, practicing, but after a 'serious' 100 I'm as flat as a bad tire. Drugs? Which ones? any funny side effects? Go on Will, tell us ;-)

Ah glad, it wasn't just me with the grouse bird. I returned there last week and shot a few with Mark, and unfortunately only the left->right was left and I managed to get it.. However I'm not terribly 'tall' myself either, and I suspect these birds were a lot tougher for the <6ft tall...
