Just a query,i know you can,t coach someone on a stand at a reg shot while their shooting,but was at a shoot couple weeks back two guys shooti together,one was in cage shootin the other stood behind waiting his turn,when first guy came out his mate said what do they need,he said five. Feet and three feet,second guy went in and they both straighted it, are you allowed to do this,not that it worries me i only shoot for fun,was just interested to find out

Can,t see you loosing your cert for peeing in the street,No way!

RC sipe no 5, which is a uk 4.5 as italian loads are half size bigger,everyone i know who have tried them have never gone back to anything else :good:

Right tried my finger at longer range and it was similar so i got the gun out,mounting on a distant object with both eyes open, i then closed my left eye and my gun was spot on where i was looking, so i don,t know whether this proves anything

Well teal are one of the worst at the moment,unless i,m just going through a long bad patch

As far as i know i was,i'll try it no a longer target tommorow,cheers

Quick question, my shooting seems to have taken a steep nosedive recently and i can,t work out why,same gun,same cartridge etc. I read somewhere that in your 40s your eye dominance can change,i,ve had an eye test all good no need for glasses yet. So in the shower tonight i pointed my finger at the tile joints with both eyes open (right hand) i then closed my right eye and my finger was pointing an inch to the left of the joint,closed my left eye and it was pointing an inch to the right,does this mean i,ve centrall vision,not very sceintific i know but can,t work out whats going wrong.

8 crows with Hw 100 818 over last 6 weeks 818

Yep another for the 1517

Any one shoot podimore today, i was going to but the £66 entry put me off,

I bought a 177 hw 100 my brother an s 410,which he soon sold and bought a hw 100. Virtually shoot themselves, my 9 year old boy and me had a comp,30 yards,10 small grapes on pins, he shot 9 out 10 me 10, and he,d never shot up till that day. Accurate ,quiet,quick to reload, yes tad heavy but wouldn,t change mine for anything, two magpies in a tree 35 yards away last week shot the top one which fell down past it,s mate,his mate seen him go down past him and dropped down a couple branches to see where he,d gone,big mistake lol.I also shot 7 crows in about 30 seconds,shot the 1st one and about 30 crows/rooks arrived going mad kept landing in tree,as fast as i recocked the gun another had landed,wasn,t till i hit a small branch which was running up in front of one,s chest that they ******** off

Is it score yourself or do they have markers?? how much is it?

I,ve never been here but past it the other day on way to another shoot,how do you know what days they shoot on?? is it fibre only?

Good shooting and good footage,what type of camera/video you using

Do most of you sell your pups vaccinated,or unvaccinated,if so how much is it to have a litter jabbed

just wondering whats the right age to sell pups i always thought it was 6 weeks but someone else told me thats too early,they came off thebitch at 3 weeks,

yes very politely put, well done mr potter,i was thinking more along the lines of what a load of **** your talking,but how you put it over came across alot better. :good:

Hmmm i thought it was better to stick with one cartridge,so what do you guys carry round with you at an average shoot,7s 7.5s 8s or 9s and what targets would you use each one for

would you not be better off with 7.5 for everything???

My bitch was due to have her first litter on monday and still hasn't had them, panting hard for the last few days is this anything to cause concern? Can still feel pups moving well . Just worrying in case something was wrong . Any suggestions.

Yes mr potter,you are quite right in what you say about a competent coach,it is what i was trying to put across but i,m not that good at expressing myself sometimes,i also know some very good AAA ,AA shots but they couldn,t coach others,they can do it them selves but ain,t good at putting it over to others, but when you see a B class coach who can,t shoot himself,coaching others it does make you wonder,when i got home i looked up his scores :no: :no: he won,t be coaching me,but as you said need to be compedent and he wasn't. And yes i,ve heard very good things of Brian clegg,pity he,s so far from me. Do you think also it pays to stick with one coach or try a couple to see if you pick a few pointers up of each one :hmm:

Shoot i,m on we put 5000 birds down,shoot 12 days all driven,got part time keeper not sure how much he gets,9/10 guns £4000 each,don,t know if this helps with your calculations. 300 acres wow is it all woodland,gamecovers ?

I think most people want to get the best coaching available regardless of anything else,very good to see coaches putting a bit back into the sport but that dose'nt mean their a top coach when it comes to you personally. For me personally they should have won a major or have been at the very top, i remember shooting behind a coach at southdown,covered in all his coaching badges he was worse than me,couldn,t hit a bloody thing,shooting simo pairs the wrong way round and coming off with a 2 etc,etc,looked at his card and he was a B class,and was at the time taking someone round and giving them advice,wouldn't give me much confidence. someone like carl bloxam or steve nutbeam would fill me with a bit more confidence. I'm not saying there arn't good coaches out there who ain't won anything big as i'm sure there are but they normally charge the same as the two i mentioned. Just out of interest as you started this topic COACH what have you won?? and i don,t mean this in a derogatory manor,far from it,just interested Just out of i

Think thats why you miss so many clays :lol: :lol:

Iv,e tried several but carl Bloxam definetly the best :good: :good:
