May I take the liberty of posting a message that has appeared on Facebook, sorry if it has ben posted elsewhere: ---------------------------------------- Shooting community I need your help. Manchester Clay Shooting Club has been burgled and has had 3 traps stolen, 2 Promatics from the UT layout serial numbers 54524 & 54525 and a Promatic sporter. Can you please be on the look out for them and spread the word. Thank you ----------------------------------------

Sorry Billy, I did look but must have botched my forum search.

Google sent out an email to Google Adwords customers saying that they are going to pull all Google Shopping results for guns, ammunition, gun optics and gun accessories (Shopping results, not general search results). http://tinyurl.com/7rhf3be My private comment: Google are heavily biased towards 'Globalist' agendas and keen supporters of Globalist bodies such as the ***. The *** want an absolute ban on any form of firearm ownership by the common citizens. (I guess we are easier to control if a Global Governments turns nasty).

A heads-up that Kirklees Guns of Huddersfield are running another week of their 5% discount promotion. The -5% applies across the board and I just saved a packet on a deal, 5% is a LOT if you are after a new boomstick. Fair play to them, their prices are, imho, already excellent. Runs until 14th July. Details here, for info only, I have no commercial interest. http://www.kirklees-guns.co.uk/

Nah, it won't ever get banned. Bad Governments need lead to shoot their people. The various bankers and 'think tanks' that make up the financial muscle and movers and shakers of what some call, the 'New World Order", are 100% against private citizens having any means whatsoever of rebellion. Especially if they decide to enact some of their more unpalatable social-engineering goals, such as mandatory sterilisation, State 'encouraged' Euthanasia of the 'wasteful' and re-greening (forced resettlement of the Great Unwashed from rural living into sardine-tin CCTV-cities). Private arms, and the Free Internet, are really in peril unless this bunch fail. Right now, they are likely to, having pushed too hard in Stage-1 (the staged collapse of the Western economies to make us beg Globalists for 'help'). Well, at least that's what my granny said...

Good shells, smooth as you say and I find they pattern beautifully.

Read. If you DID, you would know this was a once-upon-a-time long-time A-classer who presently, likes to float like a butterfly in C-class, turn one good score (eg AA-class standard, unbelievably different from his 'average') on one shoot a year, to get some pretty substantial C-class prizes, then immediately manage down their score from B-class - as ironically, doing a AA-class shoot on the compy in question somewhat inconveniently pushes that shooter back up to B-class. It takes a following 2 CPSA class adjustments (eg 1 year) to get back down into C-class, which as it happens, is 1st June - on the day of a certain major competition and very convenient for the shooter in question. Not a chip on my shoulder mate, I'm AA and don't even look there, but I do hate seeing genuine beginners ripped off. Frankly, how dare you slag me off like that. No wonder people are afraid to speak out at obvious cheating. yeah, it takes a bit of effort and digging to expose it, but just letting this go on-and-on seems wrong.

I didn't mention which competition it was. I don't want to be sued. Though I'm told, last year's C class winner in that compy, took home cash + prizes worth over a grand. Personally, I think there are those who shoot for fun & social life all year, and are more than willing to manage down their scores down to get back to C class to win this kind of money and the fun of knowing you robbed real C-class shooters of their day. It's tough for a real C-class'er when Ex AA and A class'ers suddenly pull an AA-level shoot when the moneys there... then promptly start shooting like **** when they get back home. Once was bad enough, that shooter would best not try this stunt twice. Enough said.

Last years winner in C-class, in a major summertime DTL event, shot typically AA class scores, to win the C-class cash. Lucky? Inspired by the cash, or just a ****** sandbagger? Who knows, maybe we need 'more evidence' Perhaps a 'repeat performance' The winning 2011 C-class scores were so unusual for this shooter, their efforts bumped them up into B class, despite shooting VERY C-class scores post-competition. I see from the new issue cut-offs, this shooter has again, barring bad maths by the CPSA, got their B-class back down to C-class. Precision score management? Or their true, long-term form? We'll see. They are booked on again for the 2012 comp, and will be after the C-class prizes, which like last year, are handsome.. Yes, worthwhile sandbagging for quite frankly. Surely we won't see another AA-level score from this shooter to win C-class again? I have no beef with up-and-coming shooters in C and B shooting mega, AA style scores, on the way up. Thats the way the class system rolls. But skilled, competent shots pretending to be beginners to blag their "easy thousand" in cash and prizes is not on. Lets not mock and abuse the class system.

I am at work reading this thread. Way too much information for skulls to abuse, please consider sending the thread to Grennell's Deep-Six Jug...

It's hard to like what we are poor at. To suggest regular 299 or even 300's shooter's skill is just a case of 'throwing money' is an insult. I have only been shooting since late 2010, I bet you have tons more experience than me. I bet you have thrown far more money and lead in the air than I have. I shoot DTL. Lets me and you go head to head on 100 Registered, £200 to charity by the loser. THAT will make it entertaining. Easy money Jim, right?

Thanks, I would mean NI and Scotland shooters. Do you know how classification "on the day" is calculated. thanks in advance

How do non-CPSA (eg Irish, Welsh, Scottish) members of their own respective associations, get classified if they enter a CPSA recognised registered event? Do they use their current home-association region classification or do they get some calculated CPSA classification?

Does there exist in this universe a video or even solitary picture of this legendary shot-maker?

Yes indeed, I think you have a valid point there. The nature of shooting ranges, are that it's in everyone's best interest they remain as shooting ranges. And to think, the new land owner gave up over 5 grand a year easy rent for a small patch of grass. The grazing isn't worth a fraction of that, crazy. There'll be no houses (imho), as the world economies are in a once-in-a-generation depression, this is no mere recession. Gordon, I heard Bolton is 'running its notice' into December, after that, I haven't heard anything. I have heard a pal say, he himself heard there is intent on reopening. Personally, I feel this is Chinese Whispers, nothing more, but I would hope....
