  1. As an ex dog Racer myself, I really don't know why they are bothering with this. The sport is dying naturally anyway. As far as I am aware there is only one track left in Wales and that a small flapping track. The UK used to have well over an hundred tracks and at the last count there are only about 23 left and some of those are barely hanging on.
  2. Three Opitma plus extended chokes . Half , 3/4, full £75 posted
  3. There is no logical reason why there should be much price difference if manutactures only produce steel instead of lead. As shooters we will all be in the same boat and no doubt grounds and targets will be adjusted to steel cartridges. However , when anything changes it is always a convenient excuse to increase margins. If manufactures want to be greedy, then as they say, they could be killing the goose that lays the golden egg.
  4. Thats good news indeed, i really like this ground. Sundays shooting is something i never do anyway
  5. Yes it's a ground I would like to visit one day and although it is in Yorkshire and probably less miles from some of the other grounds I use, it's an absolute pain to get there.
  6. Italy seems to be the 'super power' of all things shotguns. I would have thought only when they are forced to use steel that the real innovations will start.
  7. That makes perfect sense, but will the prices flip ? In theory steel is far cheaper than lead but I have heard the production methods to make it into shot is more difficult. We also know how our industry likes to make an healthy profit. If prices do flip I would be ecstatic, however remaining around the same is probably the best I am hoping for.
  8. Looked just now on CPSA website. No scores showing under Park Lodge. I thought that where they would be
  9. I nipped down yesterday and yes I was surprised by the amount of organising. Not only did it take up most of the ground ,some of the surrounding fields too. Got told it has sold out, was first day today, is there anywhere to see the scores as a matter of interest
  10. As above, only had around 6 months, bought from New and as new condition. Comes with box all original packing and also will throw in an fitting rail which I bought separately costing £20. All the lot £175 located Wakefield but can post at cost
  11. Yes I was a bit of a sceptic myself till I got in one for a drive. After that there was no going back ,in my opinion the actual driving experience is far better than any conventional vehicle I have driven, and I have had many in my time.
  12. Recently got a small electric car as a second vehicle and for my wife to run around in. The range is 200+ miles which is more than enough for the journeys we use it for. It's lovely to drive and great in an urban environment. Plus we have a drive and home charger and I have worked the running cost at 2p per mile. Personally I really like them ,but they have their place and I can understand why others would have issues. I would say they are part of the future but not the total solution.
  13. Absolutely brilliant show, watched them all twice. By the way I also have a soft spot for the Christmas Specials that McKenzie writes and plays Worsel Gummage.
  14. No chance, at my standard and those prices it would be a complete waste of time and money 😂😂
  15. Just seen the event advertised for mid September. Entry is £85 for 100 birds, sounds very pricey to me or am I out of touch.
  16. In Yorkshire there are quite a few, Thimbleby,Hazel Bank,Park Lodge,Cherry burton
  17. Bit longer journey than I thought then, anyhow glad you are sorted. Yes decent shop ,used them in the past.
  18. Check out Kirklees Guns in Huddersfield only half hour north of you. Quite a bit of choice in those smaller calibre loads according to their website
  19. Just got a day state and reading the literature that comes with it, the manufacturer recommends periodic cleaning of the bore, every 1000 pellets I seem to think. But like you guys, never thought it was needed
  20. just bought the 12x40 version. So far so good, quite impressed actually.
  21. From talking around,many shooters seem to have been stocking up prior to this latest rise. Many will continue to shoot regular for a few months or so, perhaps even through the summer. However from now on I suspect cartridge sales will fall whilst stocks are used and then once they have gone many shooters will be reluctant to shoot as many at the higher prices. Lets hope the cartridge producers feel a squeeze and then they may have reason to look at ways of making their products more affordable.
  22. Ponte also closed for new membership. Nener knew sir rifles were so popular around Wakey District 😂😂 Yes looks like a trip to Womersley
  23. Rupert Those are clay grounds mate, shooting air rifle is my issue not clays Yes both full, refusing memembers
  24. nearest clay ground with a range is about 40 miles away. Park Lodge and way over priced in my opinion.
