  1. The last job that Phil did for me was to shorten the stock on my Browning Ultra XS Prestige with adjustable comb - the job he did on it bearing in mind the additional work involved (adjustable comb) was not only done for a very good price but I could not tell the difference between the before and after shortening as far we the finish goes - I'm extremely happy with the work that he does as well as the way he treats his customers, a true gent IMHO. I'm working away in the UAE at the moment but if I was at home I'd post up some pics of the work he's done so that you can judge for yourself :-)

  2. No! Where on your licence is a condition that it has to on you when out shooting, there isn't. One of my best friends is a wildlife crime officer and he says no you do not need your licence with you, one quick radio check and all you details can be obtained.

    What if your in a very undulating rural area and the police officer can't make radio / mobile phone contact with his base / station?

    He has no alternative but to take your gun/s. It really is simple ladies and gents ...

  3. Oh for crying out loud -

    Stop being big pansies and knowing all your rights like Vicky Pollard and just stick it in the car, it's not that heavy, it's not going to turn into a newt if left in glove box for duration of shooting, it just saves a little time if and when you get pulled over.

     

    You may not NEED it legally, but it certainly helps get you on your way quicker. Such like when you get pulled and you have your licence and insurance docs and they then let you go, if you don't have them you get 7 days to drive to a station to show them... know which I'd rather have...

     

    Mentalmac, my sentiments exactly (see my previous post), if one can remember to pick up gun, gun slip, ammunition, decoys, ear defenders, shooting glasses, skeet vest, cartridge pouch, accessory bag, various choke tubes etc, etc then it really isn't that much extra effort to pick up your SGC licence IMHO. You may just need it to buy extra cartridges at a clay ground if you run low...

    Just my two cents ;-)

  4. I have recently bought the iPhone5s and have to say its a great phone. However, I did look closely at the Xperia Z1 and was very tempted indeed, the thing that put me off was McAfee antivirus symbol at the top of the screen. I also like the way that as soon as you hook your new phone up to iTunes it automatically sets it up the same as your previous iPhone :-)

    I still feel that the 5s is still pretty much the same as the 4 (obviously faster etc, etc) that I had, it'd be nice if Apple did something a bit radical for a change. The iPhone6 (larger screen - apparently) is out in a couple of months, might be worth hanging on to see their latest offering...

  5. I think it's a shame that Lakenheath has closed, I started clay shooting there and also bought my first gun from PU. I agree that towards the end there was a lack of money invested in the place (replacing knackered traps etc), and targets had remained the same for some considerable time but to be fair to PU he knew he was effectively winding up his business - I'm sure that most of us would have played things exactly the same if we were in his shoes.

     

    I really do hope that it reopens soon - it's a good venue with great potential..

  6. I've been tempted to buy a set of these for some time but I just can't justify the price, especially when you compare them to a set of good electronic ear defenders such as the 3M Peltor Sporttac that I presently use - just my two cents....

     

    Also, in-ear protection doesn't offer the same protection as a normal set of ear defenders :good:
