This beretta will do.

Anyone know of any league shoots in the NW?
-
ESS are great specs for non prescription but the prescription insert did not work for me. It was too close to me eye and I was aware of the rim all the time.

Hdav, 20p. If I knew where my barrels where at the point of pulling the trigger I could sort it myself. 10/10 for enterprise though.

Thanks for all the advice guys. I think my gunmount is fine and gunfit pretty good.
Ed, you could be onto something, I have been using maintained lead now for about 1 year, mainly on crossers to decrease my gun speed which in the past I had felt was excessive. That has worked very well and I am now a proponent of MT for certain targets. However, on the fast quartering birds I don't use MT but some form of swing through / pull away. It is mainly on these presentations and the very technical presentations that I lose the bird barrel relationship and hence cannot replay where I have gone wrong in order to correct. I also have a tendency to shoot too quickly, fast trap style targets, shooting instinctively sometimes before I have focussed fully on the target, inconsistency here as well. Slow down I hear you say, this is harder than you think. Hence I thought the easyhit bead might register better at the point of pulling the trigger (of course not looking at bead)and allow me to make necessary adjustments, any thoughts on that? Thanks for the offer of a round, I am based in north lancs, Kingsley is about as far south as I go but have said I should visit kegworth sometime.
Once again thanks for all advice.

Misses are pretty random, no bogey targets. Sometimes high eighties sometimes low sixties. If I had a proper idea of where I'd missed I could correct.
-
I am an A class shooter at the bottom end of A struggling with consistency. My problem is I find it incredibly difficult to correct myself after a missed target. This invariably means more misses in the same place. I can hit most targets but just not all of them. Having missed I have no real idea where my barrel was when I pulled the trigger and hence can't compensate consistently. I am wondering whether an easy hit flourescent bead my make it easier for my brain to register the bead in my peripheral vision?
Any advice gratefully received.

You will enjoy it, 50 birds over 9 stands. The weather looks good tomorrow.

No shell restriction, plastic or fibre. Tend to shoot in groups but friendly lot should have no trouble tagging along. Just remember to turn up for 11:00 when they kick off. It's a good ground with good targets.

I find this discussion very interesting. I have a Guerini impact with adjustable rib and adjustable comb. With the rib set in its uppermost position, ie parallel to the barrels it shoots flat, i.e 50:50 at 25yds. If I turn down the rib at the muzzel end I can make it shoot high, anything from 60:40 to 80:20 depending on how low I set the rib. I have also noticed that adjusting the comb up or down by any reasonable amount i.e 1/8 - 1/4 inch has very little impact (no pun intended) on the POI. I conclude from this that it is the rib configuation in relation to the barrel that effects POI the most. Obviously if you aim like a rifle and set the comb too high the gun will shoot high. John Bidwell can shoot clays from the hip with his eye about 2 feet above the barrels and still hit the clay, that is because he is looking at the clay not the rib!

I don't necessarily think we are Diceman, just interested to see the spread of prices and whether there is any regional bias.
I do think £37 for a 100 esp open is pushing it though. On the other hand we do see an increasing number of birds only entries, that in itself suggests that the competition prices are becoming unaffordable for some which inevitably has an impact on the class payouts for competition entry, a bit of a viscious circle?
-
I'll kickoff
Kingsley Moor. £26 Bo, £32 comp, HG no idea
-
With a view to trying to mobilize market force to encourage ground owners to reduce prices.
Tell us what you pay for 100 ESP Reg competitions?
Ground name, price for comp, price for birds only and high gun payout?
-
I think that's a great idea, I'll start a post and see what people are really paying for 100 Reg comp and bo.
-
Should have mentioned, adjustable rib, adjustable stock, adjustable trigger, adjustable recoil reducer and stock balancer, hard case. All in all very adjustable, just remember set it and then forget it!

8 extended, cyl, ic, lm, m, I'm, LG, f and skeet

I have an impact, bought from Malmo. Great gun, great value for money, I am still tweaking it though? Rib, stock, balance. Shoots fine but I am always tempted to fiddle if I don't think I've shot well enough. I MUST get out of that habit. Planning a trip to the
Pattern plate at Coniston to convince myself
To leave
Well
Alone.

The cg Summit impact is a great gun, i use it for mainly sporting with some trap and skeet. Just remember once you've set it up leave it. There is a great temptation to twiddle with the stock, the rib, the balance and the trigger. My advice is don't be tempted to mess about once you have set it up. Shoot it for 6 months before you twiddle again!
-
-A big shame, although not a big trap fine i payed a few visits and always found everyone very friendly. I'm not sure the 'old timers' will travel to fauxdegla though! RIP A6..
But what happens to Bolton Gun Club who shoot on the same site, presumably its RIP BGC as well?
-
Well, I don't post on here often but when I do I certainly get my monies worth!
Seriously though, many thanks for all the responses, advice and experiences. On balance, I think the jury is still out on whether mullers are better than other chokes and whether the advertising is hype or reality. If it was obvious they could get me from mid A to AA by the end of the season, I would try a U2/U3 set, as it is'nt I won't. If I have a 100 quid burning a hole in my pocket I know who to give it to. Until then I will stick to my Guerini Maxis, now, they are awesome chokes ....!!
PS: funnily enough the jury seems to be out in the US as well as per a forum I sometimes dip into over there.
THanks again
-
Thanks for all the feedback guys, seems a bit like a 50:50 split? it would be good to see a proper independent review of the chokes in one of the mags and some shots of the pattern plate to really see what is happening with them.
-
Does anyone have any experience good or bad of
Muller chokes. What are the supposed benefits over factory chokes. Do they work and are they available in the UK?
-
I tend to agree Ed, I will feedback tomo after the 100 Reg at Fauxdegla. If all goes well it will save £60 per though!!
