Well................. Had intended an early start this morning to go to the Flint Clay Target \club, with the frog, nice friendly little club were you are always made to feel welcome, BUT when I woke I knew by the atthritic ache in my hands it wasd going to be cold, I took one look at the ice on yhe car and got back into bed. Roll on 10 days time when I am off to Spain to shoot. Anyone have the same problem with the cold and do uou like this weather for shooying ?

Hi Everybody, Just wanted to let you know I took the lad to shoot at this place for the first time today, made to feel very, very welcome, lovely, lovely people nice atmosphere really recommended - thanks Phil and Sheia. Hope to see you soon again. Many thanks Pat

Anyonyone know the dates for the 2012 fixtures of the Flint Clay Target Club ?

Thanks for those few kind words

20 or 30 years ago I used to do a lot of clay shooting and was quite good at it regularly scoring 49/50 and the occasional 50/50 at general sporting clays. Now I have retired and from a nagging son I have rekindled this old hobby. The problem is I now wear spectacles of the varifocal type, for shooting purposes I have purchased a set of safety glasses with prescription inserts for the distance part of my prescription. I am finding now that I can hit targets coming towards me or going away from me quite easily as I can rabbits that are quite close and low down, the problem I have is with quick, high crossing targets in that I cannot see them until it is too late to hit them, so any advice you can give or equipment you can recommend would be gratefully received. Just a little more information for you is that I am right handed with a right master eye, if I try keeping both eyes open when shooting I can see nothing as it is all a blur but if I close my left eye at least I can hit the targets going and coming. Really beginning to look forward to the cracking this problem now. BTW Happy New Year

Hi There Fancied getting some Winter sun and getting some practice in Clay Busting. I have booked a 4 Day Break with Alicante Shootin Breaks in February. Wondered is anyone had been on one of tehse and what they are like. If you have did you take your own guns with you or did you use their's. If you took your own what were the Spanish Customs like at the other end when you travel with firearm ?m BTW I already have my European Shotgun Certificate. I have been emailing the owner David and he seem very reasonable and helpful, however, I hgave heard that the hotel they use id the pitts. Any information that you could give me would be grately appreciated. Many thanks Pat

Hi Everyone Took my lad to the Flint Clay Shooting Club yesterday. Had a thoughly enjoyable time dispite the weather. It was our first time to the club but we were made thoroughly welcome - Thanks guys for a great morning. Pat

Hello there Anyone know if any shoots are being held on Boxing Day in the North Wales area. Many thanks Pat

North Wales Police 6 weeks start to finish

Hello there Anyone know of any strawbale shoot in North Wales ? Many thanks Pat

Hell There Thinking of joining one of the shooting associations such as the CPSA or the BASC, what are the pros and cons of each organisation, are they worth the membership fee and what do you get out of being a member. Many thanks in anticipation of your help. Pat

Hi There Wondered generally how long is it after the FEO visit will you hear if you have been granted a certificate, my FEO said within two weeks - just wondered if this was an accurate assessment or just the normal patter. Many thanks Pat

Just a thought I could not remember when they was so I put 4 Speeding Offences over 30 years of Driving BUT I did not declare parking offences - will that go against me

If thats the case how come it takes so long to process an application ?

Hello All, Just wondered what is meant by Background Check when you apply for a Shotgun Certificate - is it just criminal record or is there more too it. Thanks for your help. Pat
