Peter De La Mare Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 (edited) Hello all I'm Pete, as you can probably guess from my username Based near Canary Wharf and have fairly quick access into Essex, Kent and Hertfordshire for a good choice of shoots. Bought my Browning GTS Elite from Essex Gun on Friday and managed to break it in 29 cartridges! Needless to say I returned it today and it's off to Browning UK for either replacement or repair. Something appears to have broken between the trigger and sears. It'll occasionally work if it's on it's side, but as I'm not an American gang member I shan't be firing it like that. I used to shoot in my native land of Guernsey, but haven't picked up a gun in 12 years, so will be lucky to hit the side of a barn. Having said that I visited Shrove Hill sporting shoot on yesterday I ended up with a class A score despite starting off badly. Maybe it's like riding a bike, you never forget how. Look forward to seeing some of you around sometime. Edited January 28, 2008 by Peter De La Mare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagsy Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 (edited) Welcome Peter. I'm not a million miles away working at the Wharf. There are plenty of us who shoot in the Essex/Kent area. If you're ever desperate just yell Edited January 29, 2008 by Bagsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter De La Mare Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hi Bagsy I spend most of my working day at the Wharf as well. Where is your favourite shoot? I'm going to Hawleys on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagsy Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Peter, there are a couple of good shoots we frequent at Copfurn and Three Acres which run on alternate Sundays in Essex Website here and another is JJs in Kent (not far from Hawley) Website here Must admit I've never ventured over to Hawley yet but I'm told it's a good little shoot. A few from here will be at Copfurn on Sunday trying to avoid a lovely hat, your welcome as long as your not too good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter De La Mare Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) Funnily enough both those links are already in my favourites ready for visiting in the near future. I have almost instant access to the A12/A13/A2/M11 so have a broad choice. Make a change to have something positive happen for once. My work buddy Steve has already shot at JJ's and likes it. The reason for Hawley's on Friday is to get a round or two of Skeet in as well as the 70 bird sporting round. The Copfuns shoot looks to be around 40 minutes from me. I'm due to be entertaining my mother on Sunday so this week is out, but future ones are definately on. What/who is the gang (does that sound gay?) consist of? Dont' worry, I'm not 'good' at the moment. I'm still very rusty after a long time not shooting.
