Doug, make sure they are ballistic glasses. A bit of clay flying at your raybans will smash them.
John. Shut up, you tit.

Musto gear is great, I don't have Musto shooting gear but all my offshore stuff is Musto and I've not found anything better or with more longevity.
I shoot in a bright orange Browning skeet vest, cap and Peltors.

I use this: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=141332981756&alt=web
Also have the coat version for winter. D3o pad got binned off though, just gets in the way

I noticed that the vest I bought has the space for a D30 pad. Are they just not worth bothering with?
Typically the loads used are only 21g so barely any recoil. Only time I would use bigger loads will be some pigeon or driven shooting next season.

Wouldn't worry about it; getting smacked in the face hurts more than recoil ever does.

Like I said I took mine out. You can have it to try if I can find it again

Vest arrived and it might be the most statically charged item of clothing in history 
I'm hoping it gets better once worn a few times as I expect it is the waterproof coating.
I'm off for a 100 sporting round this afternoon which might be interesting in the wind!

Is there a noticeable difference between 21gm and 28gm cartridges for sporting clays?
Is there a big price difference between buying 1000 and 5000 cartridges?

The sporting round went well earlier. For my second time shooting we did a typical 100 sporting round that included some midi clays and some sim pairs.
I managed to get 47/100 which isn't great but considering it was only my second attempt and regular shooters had hit less than that today; I'm fairly pleased.
Really can't wait to get my certificate through now though. It will make it so much cheaper to get out and get shooting! Have to pay £6.80 per box of 21gm shells :-(

Don't know yet, I know the Olympic blues are rubbish and seen to be filled with dust. A school mate of mine is in the top 3 in the country and recommended these. I've got the superbs for £162 per 1000.

24 but we are buying 25,000 between 5 of us so probably the reason.

The great British shooting show is not too far from me. Is it worth going to? Any bargains to be had?
If I could pick up a nice second hand Browning 525/725 for a good price I would be happy.
Anyone else going?

I have come across that forum a few times. Is it a good general site? Will go get registered and have a browse 
Still got a few bits I need so will see what second hand stuff there is. Cartridge bag, Gun Slip, Gun and there are probably some other bits that I don't even know about yet

Got the nice Bisley kit for Christmas 
I will have a read up on the forum, especially to understand about some of the good game loads as I have some pigeon shooting on a friends farm whenever I want it. Will be a while before I take up the offer though, as I am keen to ensure my shooting is up to scratch first!

I'm going to the shooting show at stoneleigh.
Mainly to look into new guns. I like to hold as may as possible and then go and look for 2nd hand.
A friend has bought a few monts ago a 12bore Revo gun new. He loves it. Only about £500 new. Hoping to try that out before I go to the show.
They do have a lot of deals at the show aswell.

How long after the interview would you expect to wait until you get the certificate through the post? A week or so?
