ChAoS Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 It's *great* fun. There's something very satisfying about knocking steels over. Also, you don't *have* to take it too seriously: Regards, Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking to get into psg, now to find a club! Glad you enjoyed it, you can make it somewhat transferable to pigeon shooting in that you can use the same loads and if you get the original endcap for you pump or semi auto you can use the same gun too. Makes it quite affordable. Been wandering about this. Get involved! It's *great* fun. There's something very satisfying about knocking steels over. Also, you don't *have* to take it too seriously: Regards, Mark. I like that guys lever action, from what I've heard and seen though they don't tend to be too reliable! But yes its lots of fun for all abilities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChAoS Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 I like that guys lever action, from what I've heard and seen though they don't tend to be too reliable! The Chiappa's doin' just *fine*, thank you. As I understand it, the Norinco (Chinese) clones tend to be bit a bit hit-and-miss, quality-wise. Lever-action shotguns are, I'll admit, a *leetle* harder to "run" than a pump-action or semi-auto shotgun. As a result - and this is certainly true in my case - "operator incompetance" errors tend to figure high on the list of reasons for poor stage times. (O'course, in *this* case, it was "failure to load the tacticool hat correctly" that was the root of the problem.) I've had to use the Chiappa for the last year or so because I broke my other S.1 gun (a pump-action) - see my username... Using a lever-action's not a *competitive* way to shoot PSG but it's a *shed-load* of fun. Regards, Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srspower Posted June 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) Yeah I guess a lever action takes a while to bed in and become smooth to cycle? It does seem a bit of a faff to load it, but it looks very cool! Edited June 7, 2015 by srspower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 I like that guys lever action, from what I've heard and seen though they don't tend to be too reliable! But more reliable than the SXP perhaps? Get a pump actually made by Winchester. I have two, one over 40 years old and another over 80 years old; both function as good as the day they were made.

Well to be fair that is an aftermarket part not made by Winchester. It is true though that the SXP is made in turkey. It certainly is quite agricultural in the way it operates and is definitely not as smooth and well engineered as my friends Mossberg 600. But for £330 is does the job!

srspower Posted June 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Thanks for posting, looks fun. I fancy a go at that with my moss 500. The 500 is ideal for practical, only possible downside is the lack of a choke system. But that can be remedied and only required for certain courses.

But that can be remedied and only required for certain courses. My 500 has a new 24 inch barrel with Accu-choke system so no problem there my problem is lack of a PSG Club in my area. Will just have to bite the bullet and travel home to England a couple times a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breastman Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) Is that Crocketford just outside Dumfries? Yes, in an old quarry just outside the town passed the caravan/camp site Last (shotgun) comp i did there, when my magazines started malfunctioning http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WK4D7ZcyPrg No clubs in North East though sadly, have a S1 shotgun already and would love to put it to more use. The Mayfair Club in Sunderland run PSG shoots every last Saturday of the month (At a quarry near Pittington, Co. Durham). Contact the club first and i'm sure you'll be able to come along. This was a while ago and while i film all of my PSG shooting this was just the last one i could be bothered to edit and post; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbVmcwZCk8I Nt sure why the youtube vids aren't imbedding, annoying....

Good vid as always but where was the Norton nemesis, the Texas star? It's not in the container! If it was I would have gotten it out, I shall have to ask after that next time I'm at the club. I survived the malfunction but still don't have my shotgun back from Wild Bills. It's been a couple of weeks so I guess I had better give them a ring.

ChAoS Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Yeah I guess a lever action takes a while to bed in and become smooth to cycle? I had a small problem with the gun and took it back to the dealer after about a year. His first comment, after working the action, was, "Have you slicked this up?" My reply was, "No, I've just *shot* it a lot." It does seem a bit of a faff to load it Yeah, it's not *fast* to load. In that video, I'd loaded six at the start*, I elected to finish off the last targets in a "load-one-shoot-one" fashion. I was sat down and, thus, would've been "inconvenienced" if loading from the belt. In the event, of course, I fluffed the loading from the hat, as well. but it looks very cool! Indeed. But more reliable than the SXP perhaps? Get a pump actually made by Winchester. I have two, one over 40 years old and another over 80 years old; both function as good as the day they were made. I'm an "old gun" fan, too. In fact, the '1887 is the only gun that I've got that's less than thirty years old. (No Winchesters, though, I'm afraid.) You guys have some cool targets That's what *I* thought. Mind you, *our* club sometimes shoot stages from within a caravan; *that's* pretty cool as well.. Regards, Mark. *I only have a "half cock" safety on this gun so, although it'll take *seven* rounds in total, on Option 1 ("fully loaded") stages, I start Option 2 ("crusier ready") because many ROs don't like me lowering the hammer on a loaded chamber. (And neither do *I* - the hammer has no real spur to speak of...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, cheers for that. I might just send them an E-Mail and see about heading out there to give it a whirl. Pittington is only half an hour or so from me Not sure how my gun is going to compete against that Bora mind, seems blooming quick especially with the mag dumps and swaps.

Breastman Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 No bother. Don't get too intimidated just yet, it's had more jams than Robertsons recently, someone with an O/U or SbS would be faster at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srspower Posted June 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 That's the thing with practical, in competition whatever gun you have semi, pump or box fed it will have it's own class you can compete in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnie&bezza Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Correct me if I'm wrong but it just looks like the type of thing that is fun once but get bored of easy as it's just firing at static targets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
