  10. Personally I think that it depends on the individual and "WHY" you shoot in the first place. Some people can learn from books, some from DVDs, and some better from formal coaching. People retain information better in different ways.. Personally I like to self teach, I like to figure out the problem myself, "Yes a coach my sort it out faster". and a coach will be able to observe errors that you are making that you can not see. But it's part of WHY I shoot, figuring out problems for me is a main part of the attraction of clay shooting. I have only been clay shooting for two years now, I have never had a lesson but prefer to self teach for now. My view is learn all you can about shooting, (educate yourself on all aspects) my new gun has just been perfectly fitted to me. So I absolutely agree with one of the post saying Gunfit is key, as I can now see my shooting going up another level. So I think it is what works best for the individual, my way is to shoot competitions lots and lots of them. And I learn from each and every one of them. I had never picked up a shotgun and struggled at first big time which was a key part of the attraction. After 12 months of shooting I was shooting well and was picked up by a trade sponsor. After 24 months of shooting I have continued to improve and was approached by yet another sponsor a traditional English Shotgun manufacturer. I have never had a lesson, I have had many many problems which I figured out myself. My focus is always on "Why I missed" not "Where I missed" looking for the fundamental reason and cause for the miss. Always trying to fix the cause not the symptom. The miss is the symptom, but something earlier on caused the miss, so for me figuring out the cause, is part of the fun and attraction of clay shooting. Only now do I feel knowledgeable enough to be able to select a coach. So a key part of it for me is understanding the original posters proposed participation level. Is he shooting for Fun and learn, to Compete, to Win or to Dominate. In my view the proposed participation level has a big impact on how you approach any sport. I have held British tittles in combat sports in the past, so I always set out in shooting to participate to Win. As such after 2 years I am now a sponsored shooter, I set out with a plan, and I am just working that plan. But I work hard at my sports .. I do physical training, I do mental training, I do form training, I do visualisation training, I do rehearsal training, I do relaxation training... all so that I can shoot better. So as I say i think that it all depends on your proposed participation level. If it's just for fun then that's great... but if you intend to try and dominate then that's a different deal and your probably have to be a full time shooter... So self teaching so far has worked for me, in a very short period of time I have managed to attract sponsorship which has helped big time with the costs of shooting, which in turn enables me to improve as I can shoot more. I will seek formal coaching in the future on problem targets and to see other strategies and points of view etc.. I know many top shots who have never had a lesson, I also know other shooters who spend small fortunes on guns and lessons. Is either approach right or wrong? So my view is do what works for you and just crack on and most of all have fun and enjoy yourself.
  11. Got this mobile phone deal a year ago.. Unlimited UK Calls Unlimited UK txt 8.0GB of data Unlimited Roaming Calls Unlimited Roaming txt 2.0 GB of Roaming Data £10.20 per month on a 2 year renewable contract, with 3 months FREE. The service has been fantastic. No real need for a landline. Probably better deals out there now as this was a year ago, but I'm more than happy with the package.
  12. What is the length of pull?
  13. David is a top guy with bags of experience, when your next at AGL ask for Charlie the manager to have a quick look at you mount the gun, he will advise on perfect fit etc. If you say Paul Ricketts advised you see him he will probably let the gunsmith look at you as well. I am one of the sponsored shooter for AGL and they currently only have two sponsored shooters in the U.K. Enjoy your shooting ......
  14. If the gun is a keeper and you like the way it handles now. You would change that considerably if you go the adjustable comb route, because you will be adding more weight to the stock. My advice would be to get on a pattern plate with someone who really knows how to use a try gun properly. When you are bang on with the try gun, compare the measurements to your current setup. A good gunsmith should be able to modify your existing stock to match. For me the key here is to go somewhere or see someone who can do the lot. If you need a contact then inbox me. This is the route I took and the gun is now spot on big time, it's a prcocess where you go back and forth until the modifications to your gun are spot on. I.e. The gunsmith makes changes, you go away shoot it for a while and then come back. You're then observed on the plate again and on about another 150 clays at the ground. Any small modifications or tweaks are then made again by the gunsmith. This process continues until the fit is perfect, as I said if you want more info then inbox me. When I looked into this I spent a lot of time talking to different gunfitters before making a decision. Friends took the route of going to Perrazzi in Italy to get their fit done. Others went to Portugal, I decided to get it all done in the UK. Both of my friends have had to have modifications to their stocks when back in the UK, however their stocks are now a perfect fit. My view is that the amount of time and money we invest in shooting, we may as well make sure that the gun fits as good as possible.. Try running the 100 meters in a pair of trainers that don't fit properly 😊
  15. The MK38 handles very differently to the 725 so as mentioned above I would try both. Also if you intend to get into Registered comps, then I would go for 32" tubes. As with any of them, you may need to balance the gun to handle the way that you like to shoot. I personally like my guns to balance back from the hinge pin. I have both the Miroku and the 725, I also met up with the MD of browning UK last week at a clay ground to demo the new 725 Pro Shooter. It comes with lots of options to aid initial Gunfit and is a great handling gun. It comes with barrel weights, stock weights and an adjustable comb. However I changed the standard Chokes on mine for lighter aftermarket Chokes in order to fine tune the handling for the way that I like a gun to handle. The standard DS Chokes 40grms each .. aftermarket 18grms each. So in my opinion it would be best to get to a ground and try them out...
  16. To cut a long story short, point at something in the distance with a pen and then point and follow it with something way longer. How does it feel ? Longer tubes can help smooth out your swing and can be better for longer targets. Shorter tubes can be more lively and some people find them better for closer/faster targets. Also the type of shooting you intend to do would have a great impact on your choice. I shoot clays so like 32" tubes but it's all personal preference. Best bet is to get to a clay ground and try different lengths and see what works best for you.
  17. I have used a few in the past ... and friends have used Holland and Holland been to both Italy and Portugal etc. to have guns fitted. In my opinion it is a process not to be rushed, the best I have found to use is a gunfitter and stocker/gunsmith combination. Atkin Grant & Lang in Hertfordshire have this combination as they are also gunmakers. They also use a try gun, then pattern plate, then shoot at clays with the try gun etc. The stocker then makes the required modifications to your gun, you go away and then come back after you have shot about 1000 shells, then re-checked on pattern plate, shoot at more clays. Then any minor adjustments to your gun are made if required, this process carries on until the Gunfit is perfect. If you require more in depth details and contacts PM me as their service is extremely competitively priced indeed, for a lot more care and knowledge in my opinion.

    I have had no rust issues with mine and it is a fantastic gun for the money. Browning have just brought out a whole new range of 725s including the new Pro Sporter. Not sure why some of them have rust issues but as I say I have never had any issues with the gun at all.
  20. The finish that you get is fantastic, comes with a DVD which you must follow. Kit includes all that you need to get a fantastic finish. The DVD goes over all the prep involved in detail and the recommending way to apply the products etc. I just sold the DVD as it happens on here ....
