You’re absolutely right. I’m off to do some real fact checking on TikTok…

it might only be a flying visit, I’m not sure if I have the youthful exuberance I once had for countering the “enthusiastic” threads on here. Clearly you and Mungler have😂😂 And come on!…Petes the man!!!! 3m lead on a rabbit…priceless Here’s a Good(e) coach for you

It’s Yearrrrrrs since I’ve been on this site and I’m utterly thrilled to find nothing has changed😂😂.

I think it’s a good call. and if it’s at Orston in 2019 I’ll be there with bells on

We’ll be there, probably Sunday. I’ll no doubt be the chauffeur/ gun carrier/ cartridge bitch for the Princess Don’t tell her I said that

Humberside shooting ground at Brandsburton is worth the trip.

Many Moons ago we very nearly bought a Dodge Viper replica. The thing was almost complete, just needing trimming and a few of the lights wiring. The guy had spent a small fortune as it had a fully rebuilt 5.7 V8, brand new gearbox and genuine wheels. It had the chrome side pipes with heat sinks and sounded like Thor gargling with nails. It only had one flaw and that was if you were over 5ft 8 there was no way you could change gear. The clutch was leg ditheringly heavy too but the noise!!!! We then looked at a Dax Cobra replica with a 440CUi V8. It was in Black, which is a cack colour for a Cobra, with a red leather interior. Again it sounded the mutts but unfortunately it had fixed bucket seats and I don't have a bucket seat a.r.s.e Having looked at a lot of Cobra replicas, the DAX was one of the best. I've no idea what kit the Viper was but I do know the gearbox was the old Renault 25 V6 unit, which are like hens teeth. We ended up buying a boat instead . A great way to hemorrhage money

I have precisely the same issue and now use an occlusion patch on the inside of my shooting glasses. It works for the vast majority of targets with the exception of driven. If I had my time again I'd switch to shooting right handed to avoid the problem. Too old and set in my ways now. Mr Potter has a similar issue but was taught to shoot from his dominant side. That was many many many many years ago now though

Over the years I've met quite a lot of people from this forum. In the main they've all been reasonable, helpful and generally affable folk, all sharing a common interest. As with all walks of life you do meet the some oddballs, but it's your choice as to whether you associate with them or not. I didn't know anyone that used this forum when i joined, but i never felt like an outsider trying to crash a private party. I did learn very quickly not to ask stupid questions (snap caps springs to mind ) and don't pretend to be an expert just because you have access to Google. You'll get found out quickly and receive zero mercy . Playing by the rules on here is basically common sense so isn't exactly difficult. It's a pity it isn't possible to ban people away from this forum as I've encountered some truly obnoxious and objectionable individuals within the shooting fraternity, who are given a wide berth

Trial by Facebook is a big thing and is damaging on so many levels. I've seen this going on from some fairly high profile people who use it as a platform to spread rumour and discredit people. It's the lowest form of bullying.

A genuine trailblazer

Yup

I'd be awesome It's understandable Shoehorn, but please try to control yourself They'll have your name written all over them

Should be up for it this year . Didn't shoot too bad last time but I've not shot a deal since

Sound advice Struggled on 1/4ing away until this man sorted it.

I've 2 spare weekend passes for the 80's Rewind Festival on the 20th & 21st of August. They are £97.00 each. Also 2 spare VIP passes for the weekend which are £120.00 each. Happy to sell separately and will post recorded delivery.. PM me if you're interested.

Whilst I hate myself for agreeing with you on this occasion I have to.

I'm with you Shoehorn, I still don't get it

Regarding chokes, I stick to Mr Solomons advice of "Half and Half and weld them in". I dare say there may be the odd target made more difficult by not changing chokes, but at my level it's far more likely to be a lack of talent causing me to miss. I use Gamebore Black Gold 8's for virtually everything and I can't see there being much difference with using heavier shot on any of the targets we were presented with (Just my opinion). I've not shot much at all in the last couple of years but I'm just starting to find some timing and focus again. Really enjoyed the Hodnet shoot but to be fair, if you don't enjoy shooting at Hodnet then you need to find another hobby. The driven green clay in the quarry is the only time I've ever shot down onto a straight driven target. Not sure of many places you can get a clay like that. Roll on the next one

I don't know nick to be honest. I'm fairly sure Giles isn't a fan of ours either lol. I'll keep my eyes open for the van again and say hello.

Air Environmental Ltd. I've known your illustrious leader Giles for Years.

Lol I wasn't expecting to see our "competition" at Hodnet.

Always a laaarrrf catching up Matt.

Fun day as always, and shooting one of the finest grounds this country has. Significantly less rain than last time and ANOTHER (it's getting embarrassing) win for the mighty North. Just one question? Whose was the RSY van in the car park?

Just don't order the chicken Burger. Can't believe Jones Jnr isn't there to order my food for me.
