[Ladds]

Hello everyone 

Hope this is ok here. I visited Ladds in crediton today to pick up a new (to me) gun and just wanted to say what fantastic and helpful service I received. If you're in the area they are well worth visiting. I was like a kid in a sweet shop! 😂

Hi everyone 

Just wondering how much I should expect to pay for pheasant chicks?

I'm just applying now and they must be rushed because it took about 3 weeks just to get an email back 😂

I watched a video the other day and they had put a clay on a wall then put an insulation tape line to it. Seemed a cheap way of practising and can be changed often enough to test yourself

Well done that man! You need to earn brownie points to then use them 😂

Looks like it was something small to start with like a seed of some sort. It's swollen in the crop 🤔

I'll have to have a look around Rob, maybe try some different ones out.

The other thing to consider is that many clay ground stipulation are 

fibre wad 

maximum load 28 grams 

shot size 7 or smaller 

some don’t even permit steel shot 

 

best to check with the ground first 

Good point farrier, I'll have to check when they open 

[Steel cartridges]

That's a shame, I was going to have a practice at some clays and they stipulate fibre wad

Hello all

With the 5 year transition to steel coming I want to get used to using steel cartridges. I use 1/2 and 1/4 chokes but my gun isn't steel proofed. Has anyone got a recommendation for a decent cartridge that they use?

Thanks

Hello everyone 

Hope you're all keeping ok. I'm Gary from Dorset and I'm just returning to shooting. I think I've got 1 permission secured and looking for more all the time. Thought I'd join to pick up tips from you experienced people and see what's happening out there.

Stay safe
