Dunkield Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I see you bought the Blaser Martin How does it shoot? or haven't you had a chance to try it yet? (blatent thread de-railment, sorry ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Stuart, It goes bang when you pull the trigger. It seems to be really nice, (here comes the excuses) I have only shot with it twice at the moment, and am getting on OK with it. The trigger pulls are taking some getting used as they are very light and there is no slack on them. the moment there is any pressure applied it fires. It is very pointable and seems to float through the air with very little effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted September 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Stuart, come to the Essex PW shootathon and I can show you what an F3 can do Martin's best use of his is for dislodging apples out of the taller trees. Incidentally, will there be enough time to shoot a 25 round of DTL? I am now hooked on DTL (Sunday's at Orion's in Romford 10 am start if anyone is passing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Mungler, I would come if it wasn't too far for a home counties sort to travel. Martin, it may take a while to get familiar with the new weapon, is it a 32" jobby? Any pictures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Stuart, Yes it is a 32". There are pictures in Guns and Cartridges, go back to page 3 and my post titled "well I went and did it." If I knew how to post a link to a thread I would. Cheers Mungler, You know full well that it is too early for apples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted September 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Okay, today's DTL was disappointing with 20/25 and 21/25. ESP was an easy set up today and I got 46/50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throdgrain Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 I got 30 ex 50 today on sporting with a pump action, which is quite good for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunganick Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 shot some tuition today at bisley, shot about 150 birds (much better layout than we got at the Bisley meet up) and probably droped 25/30 birds out of them. Quite pleased although i did find a 1/4ering bird i just could not hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tosspot Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 shot 100 sporting reg i don't wanna talk about it shot 100 all round shot 75 shooting DTL with only single barrel and under competition changes things considerably ABT is good i like that skeet under pressure was interesting trouble is i'm now skint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 I shot another 73/100 yesterday, I was happy enough with that, but I thought the layout was easy (again) so as always I came away thinking about the daft ones I missed. The only real yardstick is that I beat both of my mates and they are both more than capable of beating me by miles, so things must be improving.

the last engineer Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 glad to say i shot a 186 x 200 on saturday to retain the tittle for the "Edmonton Oilmans" shoot, shot a 184 last year, bragging right for a while yet :blink: Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Nice one martin! I shot a 74ex100 today with high gun being 78 so I am over the moon with that. Some tricky targets into the sun or it could have been better, I got my first ever 2 straights in a row today AND managed to hit the little fake furry fellers with pointy ears (finally).

Mungler Posted September 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 ESP 42/50, DTL 23/25 and Skeet 24/25 (missed one and picked it up on the reserve). Martin, nice shooting there - what are the prizes like out there - money, cartridges, beer, women? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 The form came a day late then Andy? No shooting for me today, I was out working Merlin. I'll post a report when I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted September 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 The form came a day late then Andy? No shooting for me today, I was out working Merlin. I'll post a report when I can. Pffffff. We're doing DTL for money next time as well. The skeet was a surprise for me - although I am pretty sure the skeet trap at orions is on the old side and slower than most others. As for ESP - I like it fast, furious and in pairs. I do need to give loopers a bit more practice given that I missed every single one yesterday. Until the next time Monsieur Cavie, and I will have my rewenge (for all you Black Adder fans) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin, nice shooting there - what are the prizes like out there - money, cartridges, beer, women? beer after the toys are put to bed with out a dowt, but i dont drink very much so i watch others . prizes vary over the shoots obviously, i d win $1500 at the federal 400 this year taking H.O.A. but thats a once a year Calcutta, so far this year ive placed 1st 6 times with a 2nd and 3rd and 5th, and in buddy shoots 1st place both tittles 2 man and 3 man, had a great time shooting this year, most of the prizes are trophy and bragging rights, im never going to win enough to retire , but its still fun and i can never get enough.

MC Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Until the next time Monsieur Cavie, and I will have my rewenge (for all you Black Adder fans) Bring it on, is all I can say to that. I thought about booking a lesson at Braintree but apparently they are fully fulled until november, some guy called Andy from Brentwood. They said he needed to brush up on his sporting. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted October 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Went out with the Mossberg for some clays today - man I haven't smiled that much in ages. Obviously the score was lower - shooting pairs with a pump was interesting (but very satisfying when it worked). Shot 39/50 and beat plenty but guess I will be bottom of AA class this week. Had a go with the Franchi 20g I bought of Caplock - what a lovely little gun - ultra light, easy to mount and absolutely zero recoil. Final word on the Mossberg - get one - it shoots extremely well and very little in the way of recoil. I can highly recommend it. Also, when you outshoot £1k+ value guns it makes it all worthwhile. Low scores but big grin day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tosspot Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Did the Horne shoot today heavily attended by PW members :thumbs: :thumbs: and i'm pleased to say i trounced them all with a score of 76ex100 the lad graced us with his presence today and shot a respectable 40ex100 with his Franchi 20 auto, which was leading the colts when we left ever tried asking an eleven year old for tips on rabbits once again guys this was a smoothly run shoot no long waits no break downs ect recommended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
