Put me down for 2 places please. Still tying to figure out how to PM.

Lee I know the feeling - I have shot off my right shoulder for 25 years but after a break of several years, I found that my left eye was talking over. Couldn't hit a thing with my sbs, switched to OAU - a little better. Bought easyhit stick on sighter - some improvement, but not a compete success. I still find I need to shut my left eye when mounting the gun. This works, and I now do it without thinking, but it does affect depth of vision and distance judgement. Had a lesson at Fennes near Braintree and she had me shooting off the left shoulder very successfully. BUT when you know where they are coming from its much easier to mount gun etc. I think it would be more difficult with live game due to unpredictability. So the dilemma is - stick with shooting off right shoulder, knowing I will be limited in how well I can shoot, or go for it, sell my gun, buy a leftie, get some lessons and hope that with practice I can learn to shoot better off the left than I do off the right. Stick or twist! Personally I think switching shoulders is the only way to improve due to my strong left eye dominance. The problem is that I am not shooting badly enough to make the decision an easy one. Back to your post - in terms of cost (1) switching to a left handed gun will cost assuming you buy a like for like replacement, actual cost will depend if you can buy privately or through trade (they need to make a margin but in return offer advice, service and wide choice). (2) some lessons - worth every penny in my opinion. Actual cost varies but 2 or 3 lessons will make a big difference. Good luck.

Is this still for sale? Sorry I see it has expired on Gunwatch

Maybe because we are printing money so much new money, sorry I forgot its now called quantitative easing. Actually if I knew why and could predict it I would be somewhere sunny! All I know is that if both politicians and the markets acted rationally then the euro would be dead by now. But they don't do they.

Yes it's you. The most populated nation on earth, with a rapidly growing middle class, with increasing spending power. With historic links to this country, which we can leverage. It's called gaining new business, without which there is no growth. In my experience you have to seek out new business not wait for it to come looking for you at the NEC, where the leaders of business in India (and Pakistan) will not be. apart from that I agree with the rest.

Suggest you discuss this with a vet, it's might be worth giving them a heads up before hand - this way they can make sure they are up to date on the facts. Few vets are experts in parasitology but they are professionals and are the best source of advice and have access to the facts. As stated above, ivermectin can kill some dogs i.e. collies. Frontline is very effective - best selling veterinary medicine ever, however it's not a cure all - no claims for tape worms or roundworms. Certifect is basically Frontline with a second active ingredient which speeds up the tick kill. To say that you can't use 2 products together because one will stop the other working is incorrect. But you need to be aware that if different products contain the same active ingredient, or class of active ingredient, then you could inadvertently be giving your dog an overdose. Some medicines are incompatible with others but i am not aware of this with ecto / endo paraciticides for dogs. Modern veterinary medicines are generally very safe and have wide safety margins but i say again best you consult your vet. P.S. I am not a vet so don't listen to me!

Welcome! From a Souter exiled in Essex.

Welcome Sea Trout. Cant beat a Goat's Toe or a Claret Bumble!

And a few pigeons! Thanks for the hearty welcome everyone. My wife thinks I am up to no good on the Internet - which is of course true, just not what she thinks.

Thanks everyone

Hello everyone, Having done little in the way of shooting for a decade due to young family, I am getting back into it and look forward to getting up to speed on what's new (to me anyway!). The forum looks great - lots of useful info and advice.
