  1. Great stuff. Good to see more people getting into and loving the sport. 200 shots in one outing was your sholder brused? So you didnt fall asleep with the 100 DTL then :blink: Sporting were its at
  2. thats no to bad at all. I would be more than happy to drive twice that distance. Lets just hope the pigeons feed much around there. lol So you would say that the members are friendly and there could be a good chance of shooting with a few of them?
  3. Hello I trust you had a good weekend ride with the horse? I had a good day today, impoved my score from last week which is always good. I went on my own today and just asked to be sqaded up and was put with a very very good shooter and a Italien gent shooting with a 20b sbs. As for notice, well im down there ever sunday so when ever is best for you. I need as much time down there as i can get before i start taking on the "real" thing lol. Sparky
  4. Im in the same boat as you... its a lot to think about aint it. Your not to far from me. cheers
  5. I will be up WGC tomorrow if anyone wants to sqad up cheers

  8. £36 for 100 birds and 100 shells every sunday thats £1872 a year. My dad pays £1200 a year for membership at his golf club, and most lunch times at a golf range by his work. So about the same cost over a year as shooting clays really. But with clays you dont ever spoil a walk. my shooting would be cheaper if i was a memeber of WGC and if i just bite the Bullet and get around to picking a shell im happy with and get 2000 or 3000 in bulk.
  9. hi can anyone recommend me a side by side for under £600 would like a single trigger ideally cheers
  10. get your self a shotgum mate and come down to my local clay shoot for a round with me and there is a good pub near by it too. im finding t hard to find some shooting local too.
  11. I have to agree with this view. who wants to gettign around to your last 2 stands and everytime you put the gun in your sholder its shaking and moving all over the place. i use 24g low recoil shells. but i also carry a 25 or so 30g for the long distance shots. it may or maynot hit them any better but i just belive that i can hit them more. but for 90% of targets on a ground 24g will brake them just fine. i think it would be good to see what shell poeple like the most if say you took 20 shooters gave them 100 shells all mixed with no logos or marking on let them have a round of 100 and see which one they like the most. I would bet that one one shell would come out on top.
  12. Thats TJ Hale shooting ground aint it. I fancy trying that ground out. Secretfollower, lucky man living so close to the ground. any of you fancy meeting up and having a round?
  13. i may track some down on guntrader. see what the going rate is
  14. lol Dont take this the wrong way, you may find his daft but. would it be legal to post say a gun trigger component on its own? and if so could you get away with posting a stock on its own and so on and so on? cheers
  15. served you well then. what model did you have. are the olders better built than the new ones
  16. Hi all what are your views on the brand and the durability of them? Been looking at a second hand No 2 12b and a second hand 20b premier cheers
  17. Hi all. Had a round of 100 English sporting there today. I was totally shocking! 46 out of 100 I like how they Change the stands and targets from week to week. This week there was some real testing targets. Nice ground too, all the stands are worked around a little stream that cuts thru a wooded area. Any one here shoot there?
  18. cool collection. my wife weeps everytime i go into a guitar shop lol had a fair few over the years. Les paul, PRS, Strat "clapton sig" but sold them to buy my house and went back to the first guitar i learned to play on "RG550" so when the anny came along ideal. but anyways. a air rifle can shoot a pellet 1130 ft/s + and break the sound barrier. wow what sort of range can a air rifle of this power do? must sound funky to break the sound barrier with a pellet

    20b

    The 20b is for my wife. im after a Farbarm axis 12b sporter for myslf. So i have been looking into them. And was thinking about the 20b for her as well. I am intrested. But i do need to sell my Beretta first. I know a few shops local to me that are selling the 20b for £950 new and one shop has one in for £875 s/h so i dont know how you feel about that private i would be looking to pay alittle bit less than a dealers best price. what do you think cheers
  20. i could sort some out or pm me your mobile number and i could picture text them over cheers
  21. out of intrest i have a SGS would it be much harder to get a FAC? i have two good ranges by me so reason is not a problem.
