Nice Introduction, to PW

Thats what makes the North V South charity shoot such a good day... Bloody Northern Monkeys....

CPSA rules only permit a maximum of two to be loaded at any time for safety reasons in Semi Automatics. The rules on shooting grounds are not made up for a laugh, they have come about from years of experience and to keep everyone safe. As some of you have stated, you check the bolt before leaving the stand, good practice, but there are those that don't, therefore rules have been put in place for all to follow. It doesn't matter whether you're shooting on a CPSA ground or not its safer to load 2.

It was only 8 weeks ago at a ground i was shooting at that 2 young lads were sharing a semi auto. The stand consisted of 5 pairs, it transpired that they were loading 3 shots to make reloading easier between pairs. When the second lad had finished, he stepped out of the cage and placed the butt of the gun on his foot whilst holding the barrel, then ........boom, the gun went off in front of his face, nobody was hurt, but that could have turned out very differently. And in the past I stopped a guy who was shooting a semi auto leaving a stand when i grabbed the barrel of his gun and pointed out that it was still loaded, surprise surprise he was loading it with 3 shots as well. So there is my humble opinion on why you don't load more than 2 cartridges in a semi auto on a clay ground. And yes i shoot a semi auto as well as over and unders. Be Safe, Regards,

OMG chill out dudes...

I have a mid 80's S687. Cracking gun. They seem to be better made than the new ones. Edit, My 682 X Trap is also mid 80's. I can't fault either.

I'm about 30 minutes away from Dereham. I do a lot of my shooting with Alan (Hitclays) and i shoot at Mid Norfolk and Barrow Heath.

Enjoy

Yep they're starting to flock up around here (mid Norfolk) time to dust off the Thermos and hand warmer and get out there.

Thanks for adding that WelshWarrior, i always forget about central dominance as i don't suffer from it. To the OP. Try extending your arm, make a circle with your forefinger and thumb, then with both eyes open look at a distant object the move your hand in slowly to your face, if it covers your left eye then your left eye dominant, if it covers your right eye then your right eye dominant. If it hits your nose then i suggest selling your guns and use the circle you just made to do some one handed web surfing. Hope that helps.

Im sorry that doesn't make sense. I'm a right handed person, but i have absolute dominance in the left eye, i've shot left handed ever since my father spotted the eye dominance when i was a young lad, back in the days when the world was in black and white. It doesn't matter which finger i use, or on which hand, if i point at an object with both eyes open then close my right eye then i'm still pointing at the target. If i were to close the left eye then i'm aiming way off to the left. regards,

When she appeared on Top Gear she admitted to crashing every car she's owned.

Was omitting the letter 'r' in your post deliberate?
