This is a fascinating debate. Not one I can add anything to really as I haven’t used a pattern plate and even if I had, I doubt my limited shooting experience would add any value. But that probably goes for all my forum comments to be fair.  Anyways... I’ve never been one to be found short of...

It’s often been quoted “lies, damn lies and statistics”  Now I’m no statistician by any means, though I do uses statistical analysis in my role as an engineer. The problem with statistics is context. You can very easily take a simple measurement and draw a conclusion but be quite inaccurate...

2 F3 and an F16. The F16 is the stock I modified but unfortunately doesn’t fit the F3

Right handed, but left shoulder shooter. “The EvoComp goes so far as to have a squiggly sorta fixing bolt so that the thumb groove can be lowered even more.” ‘twas the stock bolt that prevented me cutting the “wrist” even lower.  I also lengthened the grip and increased the palm swell...

I’m a bit baffled by the content of this thread. In my ignorance and inexperience I do have to rely on what I can learn from others, then go try it for myself. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn’t. What was that someone said about meat and veg?    Anyways. When shooting, I have my...

Used to be part my regular walking route. I’d walk from Chorley, to Rivington/Anglezarke reservoirs, then to Belmont and back to Chorley via white coppice

I get the Mrs to help me with that

No increase in felt recoil for me. Shoulder a little tender after first outing post lockdown 1 and approximately 150 shells. After lockdown two and another three month break, I switched back to a hard plastic pad. This resulted in even less tenderness. I spoke to Ed Solomons about his and he did...

I second what @Jonny English said. Future mutations are likely. The scientists working on vaccines seem confident they can stay one step ahead of those mutations with regular testing and research. Seems the principle mutation mode of Corona virus is modifying the protein spikes and scientists...

I don’t think it’s been widely reported but the vaccines are not like vaccines of old. They do not give you a mild dose of covid. Instead they give your immune system a heads up on what to look out for. Basically it’s a mimic of the Corona protein spikes that allow access to the interior of the...

Well, it would be wrong of me to speak for Ben (but I will anyway), but as he says, he has info about this on his channel. The story goes if I recollect correctly he was pondering changing his half chokes for some long targets and had a nagging thought that maybe his halves might not be quite up...

Oh no... don’t you go making matters worse for me! 😡 I fit two of the same choke restriction. Switching barrels to the best of those two...  I just can’t cope with that level of optimisation  I have it set to bottom first all the time

way too complicated for me

Is that a euphemism? 🤔😳 Bic and Bic? sorry, couldn’t resist 😬 if I recollect correctly he shoots 2 ¼ chokes. He did a YouTube post about how he came to that conclusion. It’s an interesting backstory that supports a lot of what has been said here

Flush chokes. Problem solved 😁

4 million vaccines (1st pass) so far. 15 million expected by mid February. At this current rate, it will be end of May to get 70% of population vaccinated 1st jab. It will take pretty much the whole year to get the country vaccinated with both jabs. Some will object for various reasons to having...

I couldn’t tell the difference between ¼ and ½ to be honest.  Only really noticed the difference between ½ and ¾, by a small increase in felt recoil but even then, very soon forgot about it. I didn’t notice any difference in the way a clay broke either. You either miss or you hit. The margins of...

I had a couple of slabs of Blue diamond and liked them a lot at first, but about half way into the first slab I was having difficulty opening the gun. At first I thought something was wrong with the action, so I ejected and closed and opened the gun a couple of times and all was good. Nit...

Might want to check out Ed Solomons shooting 45+ yard battues from the hip with alarming regularity. Some with gun overhead too and from multiple stands and grounds too!  My introduction to clay shooting was via Mickey Rouse. He gave a demo shooting from the hip. All sim pairs from two traps...

Agreed. My safe is to all intents and purposes invisible. You’d have to first have know where to look and then exactly what to look for. By my rough calculations it would then take a 2.6 tonne force applied at ten locations to break the cabinet free but before doing that, you would have to do a...
