philpot 4,990 Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 Today I had a drive over to Si Browns house in North Yorkshire to have a get together with Si and Jimmy. Superb weather and a very pleasant drive saw me arrive just before 10am, Jimmy was eager and arrived about 7,30am still in his jimjams . I had been looking forward to this as Jimmy was bringing down the little Diana Model 16 he had been working on and not forgetting Sean's input as well, my sincere thanks guys because this little gun is nothing short of STUNNING and I am so pleased to own her. The day was not just going to be a chit chat between pals as I was taking a 12gauge shotty that I was giving to Si and that way Jimmy will always have a gun to use on one of the perms but what Jimmy didn't know was that Si had got permission from the landowner to let us do a bit of clay shooting. Si bought a couple of cases of clays and I brought the clay pigeon trap that my shooting partner and myself had just revamped. I think it is fair to say we all had a good laugh and enjoyed the day. It was great seeing the boys again and will be meeting up again in about 6 weeks for the Northern Shooting Show in Harrogate. I will pop on a couple of photos tomorow. I will just leave you with one thought, Jimmy is now to be known as 'DOUBLE DISCHARGE'.....................................why yo may ask, well wild horses couldn't get me to spill the beans Phil 3 3 Quote Link to post

philpot 4,990 Posted March 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 I know you have all seen the Diana model 16 photos but I can tell you the pictures do not do it justice so I have just tried to capture the flecking in the wood that Jimmy has managed to bring out. I must say that this little gun is for plinking in the garden with the family BUT there will be hell to pay if anyone doesn't handle this little baby carefully as I intend to make sure she stay as pretty as she is now. Jimmy Double Discharge, you are a star mate. Phil 4 Quote Link to post

philpot 4,990 Posted April 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 Well some people click with the clays straight away and some don't. It also makes a big differenc to shoot at clays coming in different directions and that can make you smile or cry of course. The main thing is above everything else, 'ENJOY IT'. We must sort a date for the next session at a ground with a good selection of targets. Phil 2 Quote Link to post
