  1. they use different weight pellets to see if the tool is legal or not over a stringof shots
  2. Thanks for the update I miss going as I enjoyed having a laugh with Phil and Pauline who are very friendly, and the league was good fun.
  3. I shoot in a group and I enjoy having a good day and a laugh with the guys, we don't see each other outside of the shoot so it's always good to see them, as a group we are a more the merrier kind so often pick up lone shooters or beginners and try help out with their shooting. Personally I would let a smaller group shoot through 1st as i have been on the receiving side waiting for large groups to clear off.
  4. Can't believe what I am reading yorkgate gun club run down and littered with cartridges, unbelievable, Phil and Pauline ran a fantastic shoot and the work that went into building the stands and paths to make it easier and cleaner to go shooting, it was a spotless shooting ground. What a shame that the sport and the fun of many a hundred people gas been allowed to be spoilt by a few NEW local residents, the clubs been around alot of years and if people move near a sports ground they should not be allowed to complain and put people out of work by shutting grounds down. Who is running the club now, good luck to all who clay bash it seems like a disappearing sport
  5. Yorkgate in otley is a very good club. Has a good clay setup and the owners are very helpful and friendly has wc and food available.
  6. Looks tricky with the trees nice clear video though is it helping you with your shooting.
  7. Gun won't rea3make a difference you probably just having a right good shoot well done on the score. My best is a 48/50 last summer. Missed 2 on my 1st stand about 4 clays in. Then never missed another clay why I can't do it again I don't know usually my scores are 36 to 40 I shoot at small clubs that are on farms so the setup is always different and muddy. Keep hitting the clays good luck
  8. No every person will get the opportunity to see a pair in a comp. I usually watch the group in front as I shoot a non profit club and it saves clays. If I don't know what's going on I look for the traps see what angle the it's set at and go straight off. Usually do better on the blind pair than when u k ow what's going to happen. Good luck if ur in a comp
  9. Just Cartridges own brand are a good cartridge nice on the shoulder and very good breaking performance in fibre wad no8 anyway. Also give the rio target load a try it's what I have been using for around 3 years now and not had any problems again I only shoot fibre wads no8 order 500/1000 at a time. Good luck

  11. Exactly doubt weather the person reporting has any idea what the process is. Wouldn't surprise me the new Zealand prime minister seems to be seeking 5mins of fame. So some fools in the UK will want theirs too jump straight onto the legal gun holders. Forget iligal gun culture and knife crime been rife.
  12. Any one els seen the times newspaper article about how you can order shotguns over the Internet in the UK that have 10 shot magazines apparently loopholes mean anyone can have 1. Trying to scare the general population of non shooters. No mention of knife crime or iligal guns.
  13. It's just seems to have shut down through summer I think can't fi d any info on it. Just been nosey really it's shame a clubs gone as it was down as a cpsa club too.
  14. Chris batha is the guy. YouTube him easy to follow. And his book is good. It's a blue book with an orange clay on it.
  15. Shame it's not 10 years would be easier on every one Well done on the screen shot. Shame it is not gonna happen any time soon
  16. Good evening just a quick one Was just doing a questionnaire on www.shootinguk and a question (how long is a shotgun certificate valid for) A 5 years B 10 years C 3 years I went in with A 5 years as that is what mine I valid for and I got the question wrong apparently the correct answer is B 10 years. So I was just wondering if its a mistake by them or I have missed the news on new 10 year licensing.
  17. Seems expensive I only paid £125 for a 2" stock extension in a grain matching wood and a new recoil pad.
  18. OK thanks for the info will try check it out as I personally don't have Facebook
  19. Good evening all Was wondering if their was any clubs or how you go about getting permission to shoot grey squirrels here in West Yorkshire or is the main problem further afield. Thought I would ask as I don't seem to be able to find anything on the Web.
  20. http://www.theargus.co.uk/ wanting to make licencing legal for ownership of air weapons. What is the country coming to.
  21. Only down side is clay clubs don't usually like anything over 28gram. It's probably down to cost and demand why you don't see the 3" 7.5 cartridges. I will stick with two and three quarters. Rio target load fibre wads 28gram 8s seem to be good for sporting layouts.
  22. Deben ear defenders around 20 quid do the job and are slimline so don't look or feel bulky. Cut the sound out been using mine 4 years all weather's had no problem. Good luck.
  23. You take the side plate off carefully as the internal workings like to pop out. The pressure tube and the barrel are just floating on a location pin the brass valve slides out of the front where the pump part is u need to tap out the pin that holds the forend on and ease the pump arm out. If u find a set of internals for the valve plus let me know I replaced the pump cup and one rings on my 2200. That used to be able to knock crows and magpies out of trees now it's week and only fit for paper targets. Good luck
  24. Never use a angle grinder on a tyre the disc can explode in ur face. Either a hand saw for metal or a jigsaw with a multipurpose blade in. I cut some motorcycle tyres up and had no problem. I watched a hospital program that had a guy who's face had been sliced off with a shattered disc from an angle grinder he was converting tyres into horse drinkers and the rubber grabbed the disc and shattered it.
  25. Good going I had a change from 1/4-1/2 to full and 3/4 for a mess about with some 9 shot and didn't do that bad on the sporting not tried it with 7.5 shot might have a play again.
