Primer Tests

Some interesting results from a primer test.

Danger of Shooting Without a Backstop

Interesting article on 6mm-Br highlighting the dangers of shooting without a backstop. Really goes to show how such a small error can make such a big difference.

Government Response to the HAC Firearms Enquiry

The government has finally released it's Response to the Home Office Affairs firearms enquiry. What does it mean for shooters, NOTHING. essentially there will be no changes to the status quo apart from a possible increase in the application fees and updated guidance to the licensing authorities and police.

I suppose it is both good and bad. Good in that there will be no knee jerk response to the Cumbria shootings but also bad because of the lost opportunity to remove ridiculous parts of the various firearms acts that don't actually achieve anything. For example expanding ammunition and passing land for certain calibres.
