  1. Hi Chris, I totally understand your logic but there is some good advice on here. My advice to you would be to mount as many guns as you can under the observation of someone who knows what there looking for. As you will not have a perfect mount a GOOD dealer should be able to adjust your body in order to tell if a gun is a reasonably good fit for you or not. I say reasonably because most guns are built to fit Mr Average and will probably need a slight tweak here or there. What you are looking for is a gun that fits you reasonably well off the shelf. Practice your mount with the gun, and when you have a consistent mount only then make any minor tweaks to the stock if necessary. If you narrow your search down to say Browning, Beretta or Miroku you will not go far wrong and the gun will still have a good resale value. Also bear in mind that a one or two year old gun will have lost most of its initial depreciation so would offer very good value. Guns are not like cars they are built to last a lifetime if looked after so do not discount a second hand gun. The challenge is to mount as many guns as you can under the observation of someone who knows what to look for. If you use the short list mentioned you will probably find that you are either a Beretta person or a Browning/Miroku person fit wise. Good luck with the search, but time and effort spent up front researching/trying out the best gun for you will pay big dividends in the future. Also when you have narrowed it down to the gun you like via dry mounting, I would find a ground that has a demo gun of the same model and actually go and shot it. Dry mounting a gun and shooting it are two completely different things. You will also find that someone at your local club will have the gun you are looking for. My experience is that shooters are the approachable people in the world. I am sure that someone would let you try their gun if you told them you were thinking of buying the same model etc. I have tried out many many guns this way, often being asked if I would like to try it without even having to ask. Once again good luck and take the time to get it right.
  2. I have for sale a brand new copy of the Pat Lieske "Systematic Approach to Sporting Clays" brand new unopen still with film wrapper on the DVD, as I was sent two copies in error. I have most of the clay shooting instructional DVDs from people like George Digweed(Digging For Gold and Sporting Clays consistency) Don Currie (Focus Mocement Faith) Todd Bender(Fundamentals of Skeet) ken davies of holland and holland, John Bidwell (Shotgun Magic) Anthony Materese (Timed to Win) and Bill McGuire(Focus and Fire) But I must say that in my opinion this one from Pat Lieske is the best of the lot, he simplifies things and gives you a systematic approach will enables you to read clay targets in a consistent manner. Please note that this DVD is for someone who wants to improve their clay shooting not really for the game shooter. Using his techniques and fundamentals my scores have improved dramatically I now feel confident in any situation. You can view samples of this DVD on you tube find below details about pat.. Pat Lieske is recognized as one of the smoothest shotgunners in the world. With a list of accomplishments including 15 time All-American, 7 time Team USA member and 10 time Michigan State Champion, it is evident that Pat knows what it means to be a true competitor. Pat has over 20 years of experience; he is the owner of two shooting ranges as well as Pat Lieske's School of Shooting, with students ranging from complete novices to NSCA-All American and Team USA members. Pat's students have found him to be the best teacher of any kind that they have experienced. You will find that Pat's composed and affable personality will positively manipulate you're learning and comprehension levels. His laid back and natural style of shooting will help anyone become a better shooter. Pat's simple and unique three step method incorporates solid shooting technique, proper target analysis and focused practice. Utilizing this method, you will find consistency and victory much easier to attain, regardless of the difficulty of the course. With Pat's smooth and controlled move to the target, you will discover a connection to the target that will formulate control and an effortless break each and every pair. This DVD has definitely worked for me and it's for sale for £34.00 posted, as I say it's brand new and still wrapped far cheaper than expensive lessons.
  3. As Dunkield said... No corkage, the stands are manned with knowledgable and helpfull trappers. So it's good value on a Wednesday or Thursday evening and a great opportunity to shoot at one of the best grounds in the country without being a member. I shoot all of their registered comps and sometimes on a Thursday evening and I am not a member. Wednesday evenings is Skeet and Thursday evenings is sporting practice at £17.00 for 50 birds if you are a member it's £14.50 for 50 birds. Skeet on a Wednesday night is £6.00 for non members but I'm not sure what this goes down to for members. The ground where you have to pay corkage etc is the Royal Berkshire in Reading.
