Most of us want to help the shooting world survive and thrive through getting the next generation in to shooting. However, not all of us have the time or opportunity to do so directly.  As some may know, I am a teacher at a secondary school in Essex. Two and a half years ago I started a clay...

Just to let you know that Helena Romanes School clay team was awarded the 'School of the Year' award at the CPSA awards on Saturday, beating off strong competition from Bredon School, a private school with their own £30k shooting facility on their grounds.  Thank you all for your votes and...

Just to keep the kind supporters updated about the Helena Romanes Shooting club (based in an Essex comprehensive school).  Last Wednesday we won the first leg of the 2014 Schools Challenge in the prep (under 15) category. This is the 4th win in a row in this category, allowing us to take the...

Helena Romanes School are now proudly supported by Just Choking in their pursuit of retaining the national under 15s school title this year, as well as trials for Essex. It's wonderful to have people like Nicky so willing to support the students with some awesome Muller chokes. They are really...

I've been approached by an old friend who wants to take up shooting in South Wales. He lives in Porthcawl. Being in Essex I don't have a clue. Does anyone have any suggestions of decent local grounds to him I could recommend to him? Thank you. 

I'm not sure if I've got a poor ability at Googling, but does anyone have a list of the major competitions this year? Just organising possible dates for my students and cannot find anything bar the Essex Masters.  Many thanks. 

The 2014 CPSA awards are open for nominations. I would like to see if we, Helena Romanes School, can win the 'school of the year' award this year. Some of you may know who we are, many may naturally not know. I am a teacher at a comprehensive school in Essex. 2 years ago I decided to set up a...

Just a wee thanks to all of the supporters of my school clay shooting club. This year we have won both legs of the Schools Challenge in the prep. category. This makes us the under 15's national schools champions 2013! Not bad in under 2 years.  As a result we have an article in this month's...

Today saw The Helena Romanes School clay team take the long trip from Essex to Gloucestershire to take part in the second leg of the Schools Challenge, the scene or our first victory this time last year. With the sun shining and a glorious setting of Breedon school, the lads cracked on and did...

In my drive to bring on my young shots as much as possible I am thinking of developing some teaching sessions as an after school activity to inform the practical training. It has got me thinking what topics would make up these 'lessons'. We have all had lessons, some useful, others less so. If...

Just to let those who recently supported, and for those interested, know that my school shooting team managed to take a win in the Prep category at the Schools Challenge today. The event was hugely slick with some good targets and great prizes for the students. We also got third with a second...

Just wanted to say a public thanks to Ed Solomons. Ed popped down to Essex yesterday to help train some of my lads and ladies in the school shooting club, braving the bitter cold and, just to top it off, rain. It was a really useful day and I really appreciated him giving up his precious free...

In my drive to make better shots of all of those in my school shooting club, I am interesting in the DryFire system that simulates clay shooting indoors. Being a comprehensive school, we do not have any funding and the students are not loaded individuals. This means that training can only take...

Im looking to move away from electronic ear defenders to the moulded in ear variety. I would prefer not to spend huge amounts of money on CENS (despite their capability) because I am moving house. Are the sort with sonic values comparable? Is there a cheaper version of CENS? I do quite a bit of...

Having bought and then returned my 682 Gold E (sold a left handed cast stock) I was thinking that it might be a sign to say I'm spending a little too much and should save a few hundred pounds. I picked up a Cynergy in the shop and it felt rather good. Just wondering what people's views on them...

Hello all Just dropping a line to get the whole 'newbie' thing over and done with. Keen clay shooter, just started to run my clay shooting club at the secondary school I work at which is a fun, if stress inducing, side line. Hoping to really aid new shots in to the sport from the very beginning...
