DSPUK Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Sorry people that I have come in a bit late on this - I have gone with the flow of Different Strokes and I shall attend another great shoot - Will be interesting for me as in all the years I have shot clay's I have never been to Orston SG. Also like to thank Debbie for joining and posting - that seemed to seal the deal. -- Hope to see her at Orston along with rest of the crew.

shaun4860 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 There are 6 of us booked into the Crowne Plaza in Nottingham already It seems a bit pricey but if you call them up you can squeeze them a bit on price. A bit pricey for me, I will look for somewhere a bit cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debbie Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 We've just discovered that Different Strokes has won the poll. A massive "thank you" to everyone - this support really will make a big difference to a small charity. Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 For obvious reasons of security I wouldn't be too keen to tell the whole World which hotel you will be staying at the night before. The names of all those attending the shooting ground the next day will be published on here, I don't see the difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catamong Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 The names of all those attending the shooting ground the next day will be published on here, I don't see the difference? Doh...you're missing the point, so I'll spell it out. Clay Shooters normally have guns. If Clay Shooters are staying overnight before the shoot, they will have guns with them. Some Clay Shooters are silly enough to leave guns in car boots in hotel car parks overnight. Some Clay Shooters are even sillier by plastering their cars with BASC stickers. If you're a villain in need of a shottie, you wouldn't need to look too far. Cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulos Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Thanks, as I thought, you are massively overthinking this:...(IMO of course) It's not 'overthinking' at all! Our local league shoot has to employ a security guard to watch over the pub car parks because guns in cars are such easy pickings. Just because none have been stolen at the PW shoot for the last 2 years doesn't mean they never will be. A stolen gun or vandalised car would certainly put the dampeners on an otherwise good day!

neil smith Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 In 2009 I was in the CZ republic for a shotgun competition held over multiple days, there were shooters from all over europe, & some guys from Greece were followed back to where they were staying & robbed of their guns. So it can happen, but factors like having a foreign registration plate & leaving guns in cars is just asking for trouble, when abroad its best to rent a local car when transporting guns. I expect it happens infrequently over here but the chances that crooks surf on forums in order to steal guns is unlikely but you never know. I try to keep staying in hotels down to a minimum, but if you have to then don't carry your gun in a gun slip from the car as its obvious what you have with you, better to use a hard case like a pelican or storm as they are also used by photographers & surveyors, then chain & lock the whole thing to something solid in the room, the old large cast radiators are ideal for that.

Beardo Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Even better just break it down and put it in your overnight bag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timps Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Even better get Chard to book the hotel, it will be several hundred miles from the nearest shooting ground, so no one will think to look there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
