  1. I like 10, The 8 that you need and two backup in case of mechanical breakdown.
  2. I use a licoln prem 28 bore. Fantastic gun nice and light to use. I use 16grm carts for clays and 21 25 28grm for game. Yes cartridges are slightly more, but I have not found prohibative, with carfule shopping around there are some good deals out there.

    Rugby & injuries

    Both of my sons use to play the eldest only gave up a coupple of years ago. The youngest gave up after he turned 16. The decion was/is up to them. I think hoewever there is to much tendancy for people to point the finger at rugby as being sport that has long term effects on your health. As previously mentioned other sports can cause injury that will affect you later in life. The point for me when I played (Loose Head) was the camaraderi and the fact that for a saturday afternoon you managed to escape the stress of the working week.

    Rugby & injuries

    This is the problem. Rugby is a hard physical game. As a club we train twice a week with a game every 3rd week (in a perfect world) if we do have games on consecutive weekends(rarely). Only light training mid week (no contact). And no junior/youth player can play 2 days in a row to play.

    Rugby & injuries

    The problem is that the lads play to much rugby each week. As a club we try hard to play a game on average 1 week end in 3. This gives the body the chance to recover, not just from the knocks but the physical effort it takes to play. This is something the RFU is very proactive on with the introduction of a structured season and better training for coaches. However there is a problem with some schools. I have personal example as I coach u15 team on a Wednesday and Sunday. On Wednesdays training it became obviouse that some of the players where not putting there usual effort into it. I then discover on asking them why they are slow getting to the breakdowns, that they had had a game that afternoon and another on the Monday. This is where the problem lies.Some Schools do not seem to follow a season structure. The result is that players are getting over played unintentionaly. As a club we put a lot of effort into ensuring that these young players are trained how to tackle, ruck, maul scrummage in a safe manner. We have strict policies for any player we suspect has had a blow to the head and always make sure that the parents are told to inform the school if we have suspected an injury. Unfortunatly this very rarely is resipricated by the schools. On a side note I told stopped the intended session that Wednesday and changed it to a game of touch.
  7. The only reason that I know of in my area for the issue of a section1 shotgun, is if you are pratical shooting with a home office approved club
  8. My Lincoln 28bore is one of the best guns I have ever purchased. My lad has a 2nd hand Lincoln fair 16Hull 28grm 6's never has let him down.
  9. Out of habit from when I use to reload, I check each case fired. Cannot recall finding any split/dents over a 1000 cartridges fired using a 1517
  10. Thank fully I listened to my elders who saw through the Tony Blair vinear.
  11. It was never just about immigration, it was about taking back our ability to govern our own country, without the European courts telling us what we can and cannot do. I have never uderstood how a eropean common market, got turned into a federal state with everything being scrutinised by a few bureacrates in shiney offices and soverign countrys being scrutinised over any decision they make.
  12. Don't hold back, say what you think
  13. Got a Grand Vitara. have not managed to get it stuck yet.
