Question: I am keen to get a shotgun set up perfectly to shoot clays with. I shoot mainly trap these days for fun as I have a few clubs within a couple of hour’s drive that offer this type of competition. I have used a sporting gun in the past and completely understand that the […]
Question: I have a Miroku Trap gun which has a set of barrels with adjustable screw in chokes for each barrel. Lately I have been experimenting, but as yet have not decided on the perfect combination. I am mainly shooting Trap (DTL) and I was wondering what I should use, especially in the top barrel […]
Question: I have been playing around with different reloads for many years. I think that I can load shot shells on my MEC 650 just as good as any mass produced loads made by any reputable manufacturer. I only use the best components and am very strict on the quality of my second hand hulls. […]

Question: I recently went to a clay target range in Brisbane and shot a trap competition over two different fields. I was astounded how much faster the targets were being thrown from the target machine on one ground as opposed to the other. I asked the man in charge and he said the targets were […]
