Hello everyone. Bit of a random question, but has anyone had to post the stock and fore end and if so did you find a specific packing box that was suitable? Between amazon, the post office and stationary shops there are plenty different parcel boxes that are available. But I'm trying to skip a...

Hi folks, I'm looking for some advice on how to hit going away targets. These are the only target presentation that I consistently struggle with and as far as I hear they should be easy! My last shoot I hit 40/50 and 4 of my 10 losses were on the same going away target. What I find is that...

Hi everyone. Can any ATA owners confirm if they take berreta Mobil chokes? I know they are pretty much a straight copy of a 686 (not internally) but wondered if that went as far as the chokes? The Briley website has ATA as a manufacturer but then offers Mobil chokes. Thanks all.

Hi everyone. As per my last posts, it turns out my cabinet was an inhospitable place to be, as condensation caused my stock to swell. Never one to miss out on a project I set out to modify my cabinet into something a bit more suitable.  Firstly, I was disappointed at the offerings in the UK...

Evening all, So this morning was my club comp and I set off full of excitement. Only to try and build my gun at the ground and have the top lever refuse to engage. The barrels wouldn't lock despite seating properly. I tried to engage them manually by depressing the button inside the action...

Hi folks, I was packing my shooting back for tomorrow and I've just found my peltors ear cushion has perished. It looks like I might of gotten some oil or something on it and some of the polyurethane has dissolved, leaving the stuffing to pop out. I've patched it with some electrical tape and...

Hey folks, looking for some assistance with gun cleaning. I got the Napier ultra clean set but haven't gotten on with it. I tried it today after shooting yesterday. First off the tape didn't self amalgamate so it just happily unravelled. I also used the spray oil as directed but after 3...

So I've entered my first ever club comp for Sunday. Looking forward to it. Only a 50 bird sporting + flush. Not sure on that second part. Should be a nice easing into competitive shooting. Any tips?

Hi folks, can I have recommendations on comprehensive cleaning set ups / kits. I am one of those that finds tasks like this therapeutic and I'm keen to do it right. I'm drawn towards the Napier kit, has anyone used it? I'm interested in their ultra clean roll where it seems to be a patch and...

Hello good people. In my last couple of sessions I've witnessed my clay target visibly alter course, but not really break. And I'm not talking about any crazy long range birds. The club cartridges that I shoot are Lyavale express, English Sporter, 28g plastic wads. Is it possible that only...

Hey folks. I'm looking for recommendations on key safes for your cabinet keys. Alternatively Any to be avoided? Cheers

Hi folks, looking for some advice on a first gun. I shoot my local ground's 525 and get on really well with it, even if it's a bit shagged. I usually try to go for pro-sumer levels of equipment, rather than starting out with something cheaper that I reach its limits with. With that in mind I...

Hi folks, I'm having some push back from my wife about having a gun in the house. She can't pinpoint what it is, and I think its just lack of exposure to the healthy side of gun sports and too much bad press. I'm winning her round slowly but I was wondering how you all store your cartridges...

Hi folks, I thought a repository for our favourite channels would be helpful for each other and especially new shooters. I don't really use Instagram so my main source is YouTube, but please add on any that you enjoy that aren't on the list. Lloyd Pattison. Great for gun reviews as well as...

Hi guys, hope everyone had a good Christmas. Not wanting to put a foot wrong I have a question on shooting next to other parties. I've been out a couple of times in the last week and other than the individual sporting stands my local ground have 2 areas with 3 stands each. Compak sporting is...

Well after 4 and a half months my certificate finally came through the post today. I know I don't have anything to complain about considering the time some have had to wait but it was longer than I was expecting. Can't wait to get out and have a go at some clays before the week's out.

Hey folks, can anyone please explain how a club shooter's handicap is calculated? I ask because my local ground just published the latest scores from their club shoot. The winner seemed to have taken it with 95 out of 100. However, looking at the score he actually shot 56, the rest was down to...

Hi guys. After looking online, I've found what looks like a perfect range bag. It's the Vertx COF heavy range bang. It's pretty big but has gimmicky features that I like! I can't seem to find a UK supplier however. Has anyone had any of their gear before, did you order direct from the US and...

Hi folks, sorry for yet another question! I'm interested in a yildiz pro sporter. The only real negative feedback I've heard about them is they have a spongy, creepy trigger. Is this something that a gunsmith can have a word with and crispen up or is it inherent to the construction of the...

Hi guys, looking for a little advice on buying my first gun online. I had wanted to go into a shop so someone experienced could help me with fit. But then I've also heard that for the first year or so you are developing a consistent mount so fit isn't as critical. As long as its close enough...
