  3. Beretta silver pigeon or browning b525?

    Browning, Miroku and Winchester are all part of the same group (BWM) but only the B1 and Winchester Select are made in Belgium where it all started. Comments about Berettas being more slender are perfectly true and it's all down to what you like. Try to consider resale value as you may want to trade up in the future and some guns hold their value much better than others but my biggest bit of advice is have it fitted for you - if you're going to £1k+ on a gun why skimp on £50 to have it right for you? Enjoy -whatever you choose :-)

  5. Norfolk Autumn Flush

    Top sport, top company, top job.

    This just gets better and better every time... Shame so many let you down without a word - I do SO hope there will be enough spaces for them next time or perhaps us reall PW shots will have nabbed 'em all...

    Cheers Alan - couldn't have been better - I'm recovering from the shock of The Chimpster straighting a stand but I'm still feeling a bit shaky :ermm:

    What a cracking day! Best yet :good:

    Thanks Alan for all your hard work, as usual and Jon for enough grub to feed the 5000...

    Shame about so many no-shows. Hope noone missed a place a chance because of them :blush:

     

    You missed a cracking day Rick, It was windy as hell but it stayed dry and the sun even made a appearance. Thanks to Chazmeister and Stu for a fun flush shoot and only dropping 5 clays.

    You did a fine job yourself Chris - we were 2nd in that flush - Alan's team dropped 3 so we were withing 2 of the boss!

  12. Norfolk summer flush 2012

    Cann't blinking wait - itching just thinking about it (or should I keep using the ointment?) :blush:

    One of the best days of the Summer and great company too...works for for me, Mr & Mrs Countryside Lass and MC Dave S 'n' me are planning to set the stakes (reasonably) high so we'll be doing our best, promise.

    In case anyone is interested I'll have a Cooey .410 S/B with me in case small people want to have a go and it's also available for a new owner at £100 (SGC obviously).

    We are going to have SUCH a day - Cheers Alan :good: see you there

  14. Clay shoots in Norfolk.

    Is anyone a member of Mid Norfolk? I understand members can shoot Thursday and Friday evenings?

    I was a member but I've just let it lapse. Members get first dibs on evening shoots but before I joined I was never turned away and, at £35, I didn't see the sense in renewing. Members only get a discount on clays and if you aren't going to go regularly I doubt it'll represent a saving.

    It's a decent enough ground but the targets don't change very often and normally you have to stand your corner re 'no birds' as they'll charge you for whatever the little orange box says even if you've had a load of broken clays or empty traps. :oops:

  18. Clay shooting with a semi auto

    Two clubs (sporting layout) I use are close to banning them as people just don't bother to pick up.

    Valid point - I help to clear up at a couple of shoots I attend (it's only right) and the ones in the nettles are always from S/As as it's too far for a regular ejector to throw them and they're always to the right...

    Great fun guns to shoot (I have one myself) but please remember that someone has to pick your cases up. :sly:

    O/U or SxSs normally choose to catch their spent cases from the barrel and bin them directly but some S/A shooters get an undeserved bad name for leaving plastic for some other poor soul to pick up at the end of the day ;)

  24. Why do people blow down the barrels of an O/U.

    I've got a mate who licks his thumb and damps the end bead before each pair of clays*

     

    I think he probably saw that black and white film about the American turkey shot who joins the army as a sniper 'cause it worked for him - that's Hollywood for you ;)

     

    It wouldn't be so amusing if he hit some of them but all he seems to be working on is a haze of spit around the stand a rusty barrel ends...
