  2. Westward has grasped exactly what I asked.

     

    Others have replied (many thanks) but have missed the point of initial question! Quite a few people have posted 'find a club link' etc but either have their registered ground already or haven't tried using the system. From what I have seen you can't filter out registered shoots no matter what combination of selection you put in. I've looked in several sections (Inc type of shoot, county etc) going directly to quite a few grounds to establish where I can enter a registered shoot to find that the nearest is going to be in the area of 60 miles away. That might not seem far to some but it's a bit if a blow if wanting to practice at a ground before hand and flying solo will obviously not help my finances!

  3. I must be missing something (I admit I'm trying on my phone not computer!). I can't see a list or section showing me what registered shoots there are?? Or do I have to look at each club individually to see what they have on offer? The request for advice was in general not necessarily specific to a club, I put that I was in the West Midlands as advice or an invite to a club 500 miles away may not help (I should of tried to make that a little clearer, my bad!

  4. Dazlindazza - chokes won't alter how far the shot travels, they constrict the pattern. A typical example of a shotgun pattern is a 30" circle, a full choke will send more of the shot to the centre of the circle an open choke will have the shot more evenly distribute across the circle. My advice would be not to get to stressed about chokes, for sporting I use quarter and half and only change if changing discipline

  5. A friend of mine was told the same thing at the Midland game fair by a BASC instructor, I couldn't believe that someone (and someone in the know at that!) would talk such drivel! Compare a shotgun shot with a golfer hitting a drive.... The golfers follow through is doing very little to the ball as it's already off from the initial impact but the follow through must be completed for the shot to be any good

  6. Get yourself to someone who can identify the 'not fitting' issue and do something about it or you will be paying twice for the same problem. Am experienced coach or instructor may spot the issue but not be able to rectify it. A proper gunsmiths should be able to not only see what's wrong but also be in a position to alter the gun for you
