  1. She also released her own cover version of the song too not long after. I first heard her version on the radio about a month ago and it’s been on my playlist ever since 👍
  2. Would have to add The Who to that list. Can only imagine what it would have been like to see them live with Keith Moon in 70’s.

    Smart Meter

    Am I missing something here? I thought having a smart meter installed was a good thing. No more reading meters and a potentially cheaper tariff.
  4. Comp x are 65mm and didn’t cycle at all well in my Maxus.
  5. Not swear words in this case (meat free) but I guess it’s implied.
  6. I had my o/u fitted over 10 years ago and had the stock altered as a result. The gun felt totally different and my scores actually went down initially until I had got used to it. One thing the gun fitter said to me at the time (how true this is I don't know), is that you should get your gun fit checked every 3 or 4 years as your body shape changes over time. Needless to say I haven't had it checked since as I'm happy with the way I'm shooting.
  7. Definitely a Nova as this doesn’t have the comfortech stock of the SuperNova. The 12g Nova’s are 3 1/2”, think the 20 gauge is only 3”. Bargain.

  9. There’s a Browning aluminium rigid case on the Bay at the moment.
  10. They do have an excellent variety of target presentations, 24 stands at last count which is far more than any other ground within reasonable driving distance from me. I’m not saying that completely justifies the cost but it Is certainly a good day out and I’m happy to pay 40p on the odd occasion when I fancy a treat. As I said before the Claymate system is excellent for a Billy No Mates like me where I can just turn up by myself and practice the stands I have a problem with.
  11. I feel your pain. Of the 4 shoots local to me in Gloucestershire, cheapest is £24/100 to £40/100. The only reason I ever shoot at the expensive one is that it has Claymate so you can practice solo.
  12. Some great shooting there. I’d be too worried about scratching that Krieghoff.

    Banksy

    He is certainly a talented artist and clever too. Remember the picture that shredded itself just after being sold for over a million at auction. He cultivates an air of mystery that ensures that his artwork is in high demand. He created the 'spy booth' artwork in my hometown one night, on the side of someone's house (without permission I assume). Looked great, the tourists loved it and it was a talking point for a while. Wouldn't want it on the side of my house though 😃
  14. I enjoyed that, thanks for posting. Very respectable score using an ill fitting gun! Interesting to see the shot cam footage with eco wad steel shells. Can’t see me trying them anytime soon.
  15. I bought a mint Benelli Supernova last week. Will be nice to shoot a gun that I don’t feel too precious about. This is the short barrelled (24”) version but it is almost as long overall as my Browning O/U. The previous owner had lost the spare chokes 🙄 but I was able to source an extended Briley from a member on here. The LOP was a tad short as standard - I needed at least 0.5“ extra. Benelli replacement pads for ComforTech stocks are £100!! I ended up buying an aftermarket (non Benelli) spacer instead which seemed to do the trick. Looking forward to a fun day on the clays on Friday.
  16. I’m looking for a Briley extended choke (Mobil) for my Benelli, light modified or modified only please. Anybody got any to sell? Thanks all 👍
  17. Loved the John Carpenter version and always deliberately steered clear of the latest remake as it got such bad reviews. Might check it out now 👍
  18. What a nice position to be in. My 12 year old daughter has zero interest in shooting and I can't see that changing. Even offered many times to pay her to work the buttons when I'm on the clays but she flatly refuses 😆 As previously said, I would start her off on stationary targets first. If she struggles with those she won't hit a moving clay. Most of all, make it fun with lots of encouragement.

    The Meg

    Yes I liked Happy Gilmore too. Very funny in places.
  20. Not much social distancing going on at Anfield last night 🏆
  21. Interesting point and I think you’re right, certainly on the bigger registered shoots. At one shoot I go to there are still stands marked as decoyed pigeon, teal, distant crow, low partridge and even fox (slow orange rabbit clay!).
  22. I was told once it was to simulate a dropping duck, could be either! Hard target when edge on and dropping fast.
  23. Enjoyed that video, some good targets in the wind. I’ve been meaning to try Barbury for a while now. I think the Gnat has finally convinced me to go ✈️
