You have PM

Is this left handed by any chance?

Pm'd you

I can relate to this. Ive grown up in a household that was always struggling for money. Through hard work and bieng a tight bum I bought my first home at age 25 in about 2014. Id paid near half the purchase price off as deposit. Ive never had a really well paid job either. Ive just always wanted peace of mind, to know that if things got expensive, id be ok. I well overpaid my mortgage until I only had about 10k left. This was well timed as things went ever more expensive. You certainly cant take money with you, and yes you do need to enjoy your life, however I believe if you are frugal, life is alot less stressful.

Ive attended a few shoots recently now where I know only few, if any faces Ive found its really helped, infact I feel as i did when i first started shooting many years ago i.e no pressure. Even though as i said ive never had pressure from others, its something i end up doing to myself.

Downhill part throws you a bit. Shame they're having to use those cabins now, but at least you're dry.

Not been catton for a little while. I dont mind it. Went to kingsley moor last sun, i dont know anyone there and had no issues. Its just when I see people I know, call it stage fright if you want. Such a strange thing.

Thanks for the input guys. Its such a mind game. As you say, when im with strangers, it doesnt bother me. Hell, 70-80% of the time it doesnt bother me.... its just when it does, it does! The point to me rambling has kinda been answered, its nice to see other people who have this issue from time to time. I know of the odd person who can suffer with not bieng able to pull the trigger too. I know of people who've had guns modified so the triggers work differently to combat it. I'll be going somewhere where I dont know anyone this weekend coming and I'll most probably do better as a result, but its nice to see familiar faces for a chat too! Next time im in that situation, I'll take on the advice and really try to relax cheers guys

Ive always shot sporting. Usually at the smaller clubs, and usually at around a B class. Im no absolute hot shot, and already know i never will be, i dont care either because i just love getting out on a sunday morning! Thats not why I do it. Im not a naturally competitive person... unless i think i can win ha ha :p A good average score for me personally would often be around 75% with my best scores reaching 82% ish. The group i shot with yesterday are great guys. There's no pressure, no bad vibes, nothing like that. Thats why I find it so strange i know its the head, but I suppose like going to the dentist for some people, its just silly nerves. I have no idea why its there. I can remember 10-12 years ago bieng behind a chap who appeared to be looking in a similar state. I remember thinking the exact same thing as you guys "what the hells he looking worried about" Its all in your head I know ha ha! But its hard to switch off

Here's a strange one. Today I shot with a few friends at clays. After recently getting back into the sport after a 7 or 8 year break I have been mainly going with one friend of mine. He is a novice shot and we have a good laugh. I have been largely happy with my scores after returning to the sport with the odd tricky stand here and there letting me down little but nothing major. I always used to get a little nervous when i went shooting for the first stand. I usually subsided after the first stand or even first few pairs. Id find myself literally shaking as i mount the gun and shaking as i pop cartridges in. Today as i said i shot with a few friends, these are chaps i used to shoot with regularly but have not shot with for years. I found myself uncontrollably nervous for the first 3/4 of the shoot. My shooting was terrible, the nerves causing me to clench up, miss, and pull the trigger when the gun wasnt even pointing anywhere near where its needed. Has anyone else ever suffered with this? I find it really strange as im not a nervous person. You can drop me in an unfamiliar place with strange faces and its no deal to me. Hell, I'll happily stand infront of a room full of people and waffle on as i am now! This only happens when im around people I know and have shot with previously, its like a feeling of expectation to perform to a certain standard... and that just messes my head up! If i shoot somewhere where i dont recognise anybody or with just one other shooter, this just doesn't happen. Hats off to people who perform at high levels and manage to deal with the pressures!

They are fantastic strimmers and will stand up to years of abuse. They are far better than the newer models. Thats a good buy for someone wanting to cut beaters paths, and for use in the garden etc

New left hander :p

Yes I will have to return it unfortunately My friend has returned his too, the annoying part is it has to be sent back to browning for them to look at. I was just curious to see if anyone else had the same issue, seeing as they both appear to be bent the same way Oh well!

Hey there, I'm wondering if any of you fine people have experienced this from browning recently. I bought a new 525 about 3 weeks ago, 30" sporter. After cleaning my gun today, looking down the tubes then popping it into my shoulder, I felt there was something off. Now I'm not in possession of eyes like the james webb telescope but I believe that the rib is bent left. It's quite clear the end bead is off left by a millimeter or so too, im unable to tell if the barrel is bent left too. The interesting thing is I've a friend who has also recently bought a 525 new about 3-4 months ago, also in 30" sporter. He too has had it checked by a gunsmith to find its bent too the left. Has anyone else heard of this mentioned lately? ----I'll attach a pic, its obvious difficult to photograph this detail, but it shows the issue a little bit---
