Squash wavy

Just to follow up. Had great fun at Hereford and Worcester. Very professional set up.

Yeah Doveridge is in reserve but slightly long drive (a pleasant one though) I haven't been to Hereford and Worcester and I'm pretty sure I've never heard of it either. I've checked the website. Looks like a good call Mr Prawn!

Hi chaps. Bit of a head scratcher. Any clay ground around West Mids open on Saturday? Closer to Wolverhampton the better. Millride (Essington) is a given but anywhere else?

Another good day out with pigeon guide Fenny on his permissions. We ended up in one of the small woods all day. 23 bag. Good morning with a few missed followed by a slow afternoon. The way it is this time of year!!! Cheers Fenny!

They've kept the brand from what I've seen

It's brilliant. The high pheasant stands are great. The grouse butt is good too. Tons of choice.

I have a Benelli Premier Plus. Really good budget good and similar to the Outlanser but I too would rather go for the SX3. If it fits

Mighty tempting Fenny!!! Is Vlad attending? Doing any other days? Josh

Hi Andy, Yes I would be up for that. It has to be weekends only for me I am afraid though.... I ended up going to Doveridge yesterday so Griffin Lloyd would be great. Josh

I'd be well up for a meet up. My local ground is Cannon Clay which I am a member of. It's near Romsley as others have mentioned. I have also been to: Griffin Lloyd (brilliant place, awesome high pheasant stands) Doveridge (very professional layout) Forhill (toughest ground by far for me, but very cheap cartridges make it easier!) Millride (basic layout but open 7 days) Hilton Park north side (good layout, pretty tough, scenic despite being next to motorway) Minsterley Ranges (terrible set up but good for light practice if nearby) I am REALLY keen to try West Midlands Shooting Ground in Hodnet, in fact, I am going to take a look to see if they are open today....

Hello all. Just to update. I ended up purchasing a DT10 from Premier Guns. Really smooth piece of kit. Well pleased. Got to try a load of different things including a Blaser F3 which was very special too.

Fantastic. Thank you for letting me know.

The Horton you have could be interesting. The grandson of the original maker has set up a shop in Birmingham. Might be worth contacting him to learn more. http://www.hortonguns.com

Thank you sir. Duly noted. I am at the Game Fair on the Saturday with the rest of the yups. If you're around, would be good to see you on the row!

Thanks Daf. I was thinking I should message you really. The high comb or an adjustable comb is definitely a must, would you agree? I have you to blame for planting the seed that the current one could do with a service. Thought it a good excuse to get something else!!!!

Some very good and interesting views, thank you for that. I shall definitely be paying Caeser Guerini some serious consideration. I would love to go to Doveridge this weekend as the demo day does sound perfect but alas, anniversary weekend, I will get roasted by her indoors if I delayed our trip away. Oh also, yes the Beretta is only slightly loose. But it's an excuse nonetheless!!!

Hi all Game Fair coming up so perfect timing as I'm in the market for a new gun. A couple of questions with your views of I may? New or used? I have a budget of up to £5k. I can't decide on new or used. I don't really know how to assess a used gun properly apart from a tight action but the savings can be really good. A second hand DT10 can be had for £3k but then I think a new B725 could make more sense. I current shoot a Beretta Silver Pigeon 1 but it is starting to go a little loose - I must have banged 10,000 through it so no real surprise. Easily serviced though. As this one will solely be for clays, mostly Sporting, I could stretch to a DT11 which really tickles my fancy. They seem to be very durable. But anyone have any experience with Zoli??

Cheers Pothunter, you're right that's why I asked as it was indeed the title of the thread. All I know is, Daf will be back giving lessons at the West London Shooting Ground and they are most certainly not cheap there. So the question of quality of Daf's lessons really shouldn't be asked because WLSG wouldn't have him if he was poor. Grab a bargain while you can folks.

Salopian, Are they offering discounted shooting lessons as well to Pigeonwatch members?

Another good day out with Daf last Friday afternoon. Got rid of my self imposed mind meld that I couldn't shoot well with my O/U. Happy days.

Running Hill in Saddleworth could be good fun

Thank you for letting us know Daf. I shall be sure to get some hours in before mid July.

Yes W Horton gun shop in the Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham City have at least a slab.

I doubt he'll answer that question! Very well put by Mr Jackson. Being a parent is a responsibility as well as a right, far too many think otherwise in this country.

This post actually drew my attention to the event. I never check the events page. I am half tempted to go but I think there's a tight knit clicky group on PW and those are the members that are going.
