Hi lads I have just got my first shotgun. Its a beretta silver pigeon s with 31/2 chambers and 30'' barrels. I dont, however, have a clue about the choke markings eg. * ** *** or what size spread they represent. I would be gratefull if antone could spread some light on this for me. Cheers guys gundawg66

It will be my first gun so looking to find nice tidy clean gun, suitable for both clays and game. Been on the lookout for a while but no luck Cheers Gundawg66

is it chromed for steel shot?( the Beretta o/u) any pics? Oh and where is Ripley Bank Cheers gundawg

You have PM

Im looking for a good all round 12g shotgun must be L/H and either 28 or 30'' barrels, U/O and in good condition. Any info please pm me Cheers gundawg66

Any chance of those pics now Cheers GUNDAWG

I think its a brilliant idea. More people should be given the option to eat game. IM a chef so may be a bit biased.

Im going on a first shots day at Broomhills at the end of the month and for a beginner Im sure it will be good and at only £85 for the day its bloody good value. However I think the 1 to 1s are exspenive at £60 an hour PLUS cartridges and clays. Could turn out to be a £100 lesson. Im sure that they cater for all your needs and help with specific problems that need ironing out but it seems a bit on the steep side to me.(that may be because Ive just started out) You can Pay £95 to be a member and get your clays 8p cheaper and free gun storage, free clays per month. Which I will be thinking about.The ground is big and covers a lot of different shooting. The web site needs up dating but it may be worth a trip down there and have a chat with especially in the current climate you may get a special offer.

Hey feel free john

Hi bobbroom my email g.clarke66@sky.com

I have been looking at a few new guns for my first gun.They are W&S 912S Bettinsoli diamond MK3 luxus and Franchi harrier plus ive had a look at the Winchester range. For a first gun I want a good alrounder for clay and pigeons and have been told that spoter models will be ok for that. So can anyone give me their experiances with any of these guns Cheers gundawg66

As al4x is it on your ticket and any chance of any more photos. Also where in s Lincs are you. PM me with more details if ok with yourself. Also is there much or any damage on stock or barrels

Cheers Hardwoods IM a lefty so sounds good. Pm me on friday with pics and hopefully pick up Tuesday provided all OK

You said it mr potter. Good luck in the raffle

Can you let me know if its L/H or R/H and how about some pics if poss. Like the last guy im after my first gun

They want a modern and up to date purpose built building that says the sport is a modern one practised by inderviduales from all walks of life. Not the old percieved view of ultra rich old men. The sport is misunderstood by so many and the last time they heard or saw anything about shooting was on the news and another killing. When I told my friends that I was applying for a SGC it sparked the odd discussion. Shooting and field sports in general are being attacked from all angles and BASC wants its finger on the pulse. Im like auto culto I cant afford to go shooting every day and will probably not be able to go once a week most of the year but the BASC just want to ensure that I can go when I want and can afford to go. They will get the £750,000 from all size of donations from supporters that believe as most members do that it is a necessary way forward.

Ive just been on SACS website and they state they they are there to help Scottish and NI interests. Lets face it ,everyone thats ran to them because of a letter are for £40 donation are rather downsizing dont you think. Wake up, put your toys back in your prams and smell the bacon. BASC is the best known and most popular organisation in the UK. We all need cloat behind us like that.

Good point. you cant send your children to school without them coming home with a letter for money. Fund raising is part and parcel of everyday life and helps all organisations stay afloat and ahead of the game.

Hi mate I got mine on Saturday 15 Nov and sent application of on 30th Oct. Im from Beds and they reckon that they aim to get all applications out in 21 days provided everything is completed properly.

Im new to shooting(I mean just got SGC) but was a member of the BASC for years when I did falconry and even whe n I just took my dogs for walks in the country.The reason for this is that even though I have always lived in the town I have always supported country sports, all of them and have even argued with my own family and friends for it. Im not sure I support Hunt masters that think they are being victomised by antis and cry and moan about it because they get arrested because they have been filmed doing things that maybe they shouldnt have. Im not anti fox hunting but the law is the law and at the moment you cant do it so they deserve to have the hunt fined and be sentanced. Anyway the BASC is there to stop us shooters new and old having to go through what hunting has gone through. They promote shooting, for anyone and everyone and all types. and by many means. Every company and big organisation has to have a managment structure and a staff that works towards the companies mission statement which im sure you all know what that is because thats why most people joined in the first place. As for the £40 donation if you dont want to pay it , hay dont. If its to much but you would like to give something give what you think is reasonable or what you can afford. Its your hard earned money. But some of the comments ive read well talk about cake an eat it and bite your nose of to spite your face bla bla bla.... Just remember You can get insured to shoot anywhere else But the BASC ensures you can shoot anywhere. ( Thats copyright now G. CLARKE 2008 BASC can use it for free membership) Thats my view anyway gundawg 66

Hi guys Im new to the sport and would like to know if anyone can recommend a good decoy starter set and a good place to purchase it, how many decoys would be best etc., and any other equipment that would be handy and advice Cheers guys gundawg66

Hi wondered if anyone in the Beds area is up for showing me the ropes to pigeon shooting. I am available on Mondays and Tuesdays as I currently work weekends. If anyone has anything planned for the new year I may be able to arrange time off. I am willing to pick up for you in return. Cheers gundawg66
