“Technical targets” seems to rear it’s head quite often when the talk is about clay shooting. Can somebody enlighten me as to what the definition is!

Shot the Premier League 100 reg sporting at AGL on Saturday and what an enjoyable round it was. However thought I would give my DT10 sporter a run out as I normally shoot the trap version with fixed 5/8s chokes. I wanted to try out some Kicks smoke chokes I bought second hand recently. It...

I see the Classic is at Southdown again along with the Benelli Auto shoot. The Beretta World is at a new venue in Hampshire but still a 3 1/2 hour drive for me from Lincs. Isn’t it about time these major competitions were rotated around the country a bit instead of nearly always being way down...

Two Briley Spectrum LM or 3/8 chokes for sale to fit a Krieghoff K80. Hardly used - £50 the two plus postage.

Was booked in for the 1.15  afternoon slot on Sunday 17th May but can't make it now. They don't do refunds but will allow a transfer to someone else. So if anyone fancies it I'll split the difference of the £52 entry and do it for £25. First come first served. PM me.

If you look around any sporting competition it seems the majority of people have the combs on their sporting stocks jacked up. It begs the question " why as the norm don't the leading manufacturers make them with a higher combed fixed stock" . IMO the stock looks far better apart from anything...

Spare trigger for Renato Gamba Daytona, fully functional with button for top/bottom barrel selection. £475 o.n.o

Just seen on Facebook that Grimsthorpe's next sporting shoot on the 22nd Feb is cancelled due to adverse conditions at the ground. They are asking for people to spread the word so that everyone intending to go is aware it's cancelled.

Just got my May copy of Pull magazine and noticed in the report of the GB section shoots at Hepworth Hall for FITASC Sporting and Compak that a lot of the placings were decided by CB = count back or BD = By default. So is it fair that several shooters with the same score could finish up 2nd...

Shot both yesterday, weather was really cold first thing but at least it stayed fine apart from a little drizzle at times. Found both disciplines tough, which they should be for a GB selection shoot but enjoyably challenging. On the FSP there seemed to be always one bogie bird which was there...

With the Beretta World being fibre/felt wad only, what are people's thoughts on the best cartridge for those of us with optima bored barrels. This is with regard to contention over fibre wads making an efficient seal in this type of barrel.

Just got back from shooting the above - what a brilliant shoot! There was a tremendous variety of targets and evething seemed to go like clockwork. It was obvious Mark and his team had made an extra special effort to put on a competition befitting the UK Championships, opening up new parts of...

My local dealer has just got a consignment from a company called Trust Eibarres in Spain. Prices look good eg 28g Sporting 8's (2.25mm) at £149 per 1000. Anyone any experience of this company? Apparently they are long established but I'd never heard of them before. I bought a slab of the 8's...

There seem to be some models/variants of shotguns which are available in the USA but not to be had in the UK. Does anyone have any experience and or know the procedure for importing shotguns? What are the costs? It looks like there would be a saving on purchase price - they pay approx. the...

Just got back from the Sporting Targets (Bedfordshire) open day where both Beretta and Browning had stands where you view, try out and discuss their new products. The format was that you were booked in by a Sporting Targets rep. who then gave you a "goodie bag" which was worth having for the...

If you want to get to that shoot keep a close eye on your 4x4 if you have one. There has been a spate of catalytic convertor thefts recently in our area (S.Lincs/Rutland) from Ford Rangers, Isuzu, Freelanders and Mitsubishi. It's apparently because 4x4s being higher off the ground, the...

Just bought a 1993 Miroku 3800 trap which is in excellent condition. However the trigger pulls are on the heavy side and could do with a tune up/lightening off. I've done a crude test myself with some fishing scales and the first barrel is about 5 1/2 pounds and the second 6 1/4. Has anyone...

Are we going?Enjoyed it last year but entrance price seems to be creeping up!

With seemingly so much to moan about these days, it was a pleasure to get some excellent service from Ladbrook & Langton of Radlett.They seem to have sorted the double discharge problem I had on my Gamba Daytona, efficiently and at a reasonable price.

I see Sporting Targets are advertising the new DT11. Has anyone seen one? What do we think about the concept?
