Mentalmac Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Thanks OF - great to see such generosity on the forum :-). I am fairly short with short arms so find most people's guns too long for me, but any gun that's works is a gun I'd gladly shoot rather than miss out if my old girl is broken still. I don't actually know the make of my gun, it's Spanish (little known make) and from the late 70's and shoots straight - what else could I ask of a gun at my novice level :-) Thanks again guys, you are a great bunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentalmac Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Hi OF, Mines a 28 I think, suits my short arms - I think I'm half hobbit sometimes (eat too much, get into mischief and short of stature). :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentalmac Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Thanks OF and Will you are both proper gents :-). I hope my old girl is fixed as after having the stock altered I started actually hitting those elusive black disks... And feel every shot is getting my monies worth out of my 100 quid investment :-). Will keep you both up to date on what gunsmith says :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catamong Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Ooooooo now there's a challenge!!! Over to you Mr Cat..... Oh no, I won't fall for that one, I've very keen to ensure that the ground staff don't have to pick up any unbroken clays, so I'm going for the 100 straight this year, inkblobs, every one of them... I know I can do it comfortably with a 12, but a .410, perhaps only a 95 / 96, simply not fair on those hard working ground staff.. Cat.
