The Sako & Tikka Factory Tour - what did you think?

TGS Outdoors August 22, 2026 2:00 pm

It’s been five years since I was at the workbench full-time, and I’ll admit—taking a chisel to a $20,000 Beretta SL2 felt a lot scarier than it used to! In this video, I’m getting back to my roots and attempting to turn a raw, headed-up walnut blank into a fully custom-fitted shotgun stock. This project is a real test of whether that old muscle memory is still there. From the initial nerve-wracking head-work and action fitting to carving out the grip and shaping the Monte Carlo comb, I’m taking the slow road and doing as much as possible by hand with rasps, planes, and chisels. There’s a strange set of rules you have to follow in stock making—straight lines meeting soft curves—where your own eyes and hands are the most critical tools you own. Stick around to see the transformation of the timber, the first shots at the ground to see if it actually shoots where I’m looking, and a guest appearance from Josh Brown to see if my "fatty" grip passed the expert test. Stay Tuned for Part 2...

How to Make a Custom Shotgun Stock by Hand

TGS Outdoors August 16, 2026 2:00 pm

Ever wondered what actually makes a rifle accurate? We traveled to Riihimäki, Finland, to go behind the scenes at the legendary Sako and Tikka factory. From the cold-hammer forging of barrels to the precise assembly of the Sako 90, we explore the engineering that goes into every single rifle that leaves this facility. In this film, we put these rifles through their paces—including a brutal -36°C cold chamber test—to see if the reputation for Finnish reliability holds up in the most extreme conditions. Whether you're a Tikka fan looking for the ultimate "bang for buck" or a Sako enthusiast who appreciates the finer details, there is something in this tour for every shooter.

How Rifles are Actually Made: Sako & Tikka Factory Tour

TGS Outdoors August 9, 2026 3:00 pm

I only want to buy one... now I've got a problem. I headed to Holts with one goal: find my next shotgun. Simple enough... until I found fifteen that all made a compelling case for coming home with me. From forgotten London best guns and hidden bargains to bizarre Victorian engineering and modern competition legends, every shotgun in this film is scored on two things: Desire – How much do I actually want to own it? Practicality – Would i use it and how much work will it need? Some score brilliantly. Others fall apart under scrutiny. But by the end of the film, I'll have to decide which one I'd actually spend my own money on.... Or maybe... more than one. The only problem? This is a sealed bid auction. I don't know what anyone else is bidding, they don't know what I'm bidding, and the perfect bid is the one that's just enough to win—but not a penny more. Get it wrong and you either lose the gun... or overpay for it. Play along at home. Pause after each gun, give it your own Desire and Practicality score, and let me know in the comments which shotgun you'd bid on.

YouTube Video VVUydXJQTk1USjJ4ODM3d3ZaQmVfRmVnLm1xNTVhWHl1QTdj Sam Ward from Zoli UK is back on the channel — and this time we’re at Lakeside Sporting for a preview of the upcoming Zoli Masters. For this video, I finally got chance to shoot the Zoli Z Sport, Zoli’s best-selling shotgun, and take Sam on again in another head-to-head challenge. After shooting the Zoli Kronos M-Sport and the XL Evo in previous videos, this was a great chance to try the Z Sport on a really interesting course and see how it performed across a proper mix of targets. Lakeside is a deceptively big shooting ground. It looks fairly compact at first, but the course snakes and winds its way around a number of lakes, giving you a really varied layout with plenty to think about. The targets were a great mix — some technical, some fun, and a few annoying presentations waiting to catch you out if you switched off. Sam did his best to help me shoot better, we tried to focus a little more on the targets this time… although obviously the usual bit of abuse still made it in. The big question is: can I finally beat him? In this video: 🎯 Zoli Z Sport test 🎯 Sam Ward from Zoli UK 🎯 Lakeside Sporting course preview 🎯 Zoli Masters preview 🎯 Target advice and shooting tips 🎯 Technical and bigger sporting targets 🎯 Another Sam vs Mike head-to-head The Zoli Masters will be held at Lakeside Sporting from Thursday 24th September to Sunday 27th September and should be a brilliant four-day shoot for everyone taking part. Let me know in the comments — have you shot the Zoli Z Sport, and would you back me to finally beat Sam?

MSJ Online August 28, 2026 2:00 pm
Sam Ward from Zoli UK is back on the channel — and this time we’re at Lakeside Sporting for a preview of the upcoming Zoli Masters. For this video, I finally got chance to shoot the Zoli Z Sport, Zoli’s best-selling shotgun, and take Sam on again in another head-to-head challenge. After shooting the Zoli Kronos M-Sport and the XL Evo in previous videos, this was a great chance to try the Z Sport on a really interesting course and see how it performed across a proper mix of targets. Lakeside is a deceptively big shooting ground. It looks fairly compact at first, but the course snakes and winds its way around a number of lakes, giving you a really varied layout with plenty to think about. The targets were a great mix — some technical, some fun, and a few annoying presentations waiting to catch you out if you switched off. Sam did his best to help me shoot better, we tried to focus a little more on the targets this time… although obviously the usual bit of abuse still made it in. The big question is: can I finally beat him? In this video: 🎯 Zoli Z Sport test 🎯 Sam Ward from Zoli UK 🎯 Lakeside Sporting course preview 🎯 Zoli Masters preview 🎯 Target advice and shooting tips 🎯 Technical and bigger sporting targets 🎯 Another Sam vs Mike head-to-head The Zoli Masters will be held at Lakeside Sporting from Thursday 24th September to Sunday 27th September and should be a brilliant four-day shoot for everyone taking part. Let me know in the comments — have you shot the Zoli Z Sport, and would you back me to finally beat Sam? Theres still time to book on the Zoli masters via Lakeside sporting, hope to see you there: hadfieldguns.com/lakeside--sporting edgarbrothers.com #ClayShooting #SportingClays #Zoli #ZoliZSport #LakesideSporting #ZoliMasters #MSJOnline 00:00:00 Intro 00:00:20 Lakeside Sporting 00:03:46 The Zoli Z Sport 00:07:00 Planning Crossers 00:12:10 Splat the Rat 00:17:03 Highs and Lows 00:23:43 Mike makes a plan (kinda) 00:31:58 Rabbues and Moorhens 00:39:27 Close targets - Mike's Nightmare 00:44:54 Towers and Dragonflies 00:55:24 Reflections with Sam, 01:00:30 The Zoli Masters 01:05:25 What should Mike Shoot?

In this episode of After The Last Pair, we take our first step into the wider world of fieldsports with the first 'In the Field' episode with Seb Powell from Twelvebore Twelvebore started with a simple idea: to create functional, well-fitting shooting shirts and vests, particularly for women in the field. Since then, the brand has grown quickly, not only through clothing, but also through its hugely popular range of coffee and teas. Their blends carry a proper fieldsports flavour too, with names like High Birds, Both Barrels, and Decoy their caffeine-free coffee. I sat down with Seb to talk about his own history with shooting, leaving corporate London to build something he genuinely cared about, and how Twelvebore has grown over the last year — especially through coffee and tea over the last few months and their #siptosupport campaign We also get into some of the challenges and misconceptions around game shooting in the UK, how fieldsports are perceived, and what it means to build a countryside brand for the right ethical reasons. One of the big things we discuss is the Twelvebore charity pledge, with donations from every sale going to charities within or connected to fieldsports, conservation and the countryside, including the GWCT, The Moorland Association, The Gamekeepers’ Welfare Trust, and the National Children’s Air Ambulance. Listeners and viewers can also get 12% off their order total using the code: LASTPAIR12 In this episode we cover: * Seb’s background in shooting * The story behind Twelvebore * Moving from corporate London into a passion-led countryside brand * Women’s shooting clothing and functional kit for the field * Twelvebore coffee and tea * Fieldsports, game shooting and public perception * Supporting countryside and conservation charities * Building a brand with purpose * What comes next for Twelvebore Links: Twelvebore https://www.twelvebore.com/ GWCT https://www.gwct.org.uk/ The Moorland Association https://www.moorlandassociation.org/ The Gamekeepers’ Welfare Trust https://thegamekeeperswelfaretrust.com/ National Children’s Air Ambulance https://theairambulanceservice.org.uk/childrens-air-ambulance/ A really enjoyable first step into wider fieldsports on After The Last Pair 00:00:00 Intro 00:01:30 First clay comp - Pro One 00:04:50 The CPSA Class system 00:06:20 Seb's shooting journey 00:10:46 Misconceptions about shooting 00:12:24 First licence met police challenges 00:15:43 95% of the shooting community 00:20:18 Starting the brand 00:26:00 Women are underserved 00:28:30 Listening to the community 00:32:56 From Clothing to coffee 00:37:45 A local connection 00:42:56 Coffee lovers in shooting 00:45:17 Supporting rural Charities 00:49:24 Educating people 00:53:12 Supporting rural charities Pt2 00:54:30 Educating people pt2 00:58:45 The Both Barrels questions 01:03:09 Future Plans and philosophy 01:09:03 Coffee Partner of ATLP 01:10:36 Convincing Mike about Decaff 01:12:07 Promo code for Twelvebore 01:15:03 Can you help?

This video comes from the 2026 British Open Super Sporting Championship, held at Garlands Shooting Ground. The event was set over 11 stands and delivered a great mix of targets — plenty of fun presentations, but with the usual challenging Steve Lovatt touches to keep everyone honest. The championship was won by Kallum Burrell with a brilliant score of 95. The day we visited was incredibly windy, which made both the shooting and the filming pretty difficult, so this video is a little different from the usual full-round coverage. There is still footage from every stand, but with a bit more music and a slightly different feel due to the conditions. It also turned into a very unusual day, with a delay after a neighbouring field caught fire. The Garlands team and referees did a great job getting everyone safely back to the clubhouse, looking after the situation, and then getting the event back up and running. This one also features the brilliant Simon Reinhold from Holts Auctioneers — well known as a side-by-side gun specialist, although he was shooting an over-and-under this time! In this video: 🎯 British Open Super Sporting Championship 2026 🎯 Garlands Shooting Ground 🎯 Steve Lovatt target setting 🎯 11 stands of Super Sporting 🎯 Windy and challenging conditions 🎯 Featuring Simon Reinhold and James Attwood 🎯 Kallum Burrell winning score of 95 Let me know in the comments — do you enjoy Super Sporting as a format, and would you rather see full target coverage or this slightly faster-paced style when conditions make filming difficult? #ClayShooting #SuperSporting #BritishOpen #GarlandsShootingGround #SportingClays #MSJOnline

In Episode 021 of After The Last Pair, we return from Bad Arolsen in Germany for a special episode all about the Zoli Cup and our experience of shooting steel shot in a championship. I’m joined by Sabine Schermaul, Christian Schermaul from Frankonia and Zoli Germany, UK shooters Matt Hance, and Troy Thornell to talk through the ground, the competition, the atmosphere, and what it was like travelling abroad to shoot a major clay shooting event with steel.. The big focus of this episode is steel shot. We talk honestly about what it was like shooting steel in a proper championship competition, how it performed, what surprised us, what we liked, and whether it changes how we feel about the future of clay shooting — especially from a UK perspective. We also get into why travelling abroad to shoot is such a great experience, the fun of international competitions, and what could be coming next for the **Zoli Cup in 2027**. In this episode we cover: * The Zoli Cup at Bad Arolsen, Germany * Shooting steel in a championship competition * How steel compared to expectations * The ground, targets and event atmosphere * UK concerns around the future of clay shooting * Travelling abroad to shoot * The social side of international events * What is planned for the Zoli Cup 2027 A really interesting discussion on steel shot, European competition shooting, and why getting out to shoot abroad can be one of the best things you can do in the sport. After The Last Pair*is the clay shooting podcast where the real conversations happen once the shooting is done.

Sam Ward from Zoli UK is back on the channel — and this time he’s brought out the Zoli XL Evo, Zoli’s flagship competition shotgun. I’ve shot an XL Evo before, including a neutrally balanced setup and a lightweight barrel setup in the US on a Z Sport, but for this video we went for something completely different. Using Zoli’s "Between the Hands" balance system, Sam set the gun up front heavy as an experiment to see whether it could help with some of my tendencies — pushing and pulling the gun, rushing through targets, and sometimes creating too much gun speed. We were back at Eaton Hall Shooting Ground, shooting stands from the Perazzi course used at their recent Top Gun event. It’s a really interesting layout and unlike much else in the UK, with a lot of the targets coming from below your feet. As always with Sam, there’s plenty of insight, advice and target breakdowns — but also plenty of laughs, banter, and another attempt from me to beat him head-to-head. In this video: 🎯 Zoli XL Evo test 🎯 An extreme balance setup 🎯 Zoli “Between the Hands” balance system 🎯 Sam Ward from Zoli UK 🎯 Eaton Hall Top Gun Perazzi course 🎯 Sporting clays tips and target approach 🎯 Can gun balance help control speed? Let me know in the comments — do you prefer a neutral gun, a barrel-heavy setup, or something lighter and faster?

With the 500 anniversary being commemorated in 2026, it only makes sense that they would make a new DT 11 that would look and feel different than any of the other ones they have produced before. The DT 11 super sport keeps the mechanics that everybody loves with a new feel of a more agile, nimble gun without compromising, stability and shooting experience.  #custom #beretta92 #beretta #shotgun #italian #sportingclays #clayshooting

The Zoli Expedition EL is the ideal fantastic match between prettiness and functionality. Zoli has often focus in functionality first, patterning, reliability, and longevity. I have been a fan of Zoli for a long time due to their consistency of not cutting corners in order to make it more price accessible. Like all other Zoli’s, this gun also has a competition level trigger and lock up systems that ensures this will be a gun to pass to generations to come.  #caesarguerini #custom #customgun #customstock #fitasc #guerini #hunt #hunting #hunters #hightech #shotgun #shotguns #shotgunlife #shotgunworld #shotgunsport #shotgunworld #shotgunshooting #sportingclays #trap #trashooting #skeet #skeetshooting #fitasc #nsca #nssa #beretta #perazzi #rizzini #zoli #blaser #fabarm #fausti #guerini #caesarguerini #krieghof #hunt #hunting #hunters #custom #customgun #customstock #kolar #dt11 #sl2 #sl3 #so4 #so5 #so6 #so10 #mx8 #hightech #summit #invictus

Without question, clay pigeon shooting is an excellent step toward becoming a proficient hunter. To ethically hunt live animals and birds, you need a certain level of shooting skill, which you can develop by practicing on artificial targets. Attending a shooting school can help you refine your technique before heading into the field. While some hunters in the past developed their skills without ever shooting a clay target, today's limited hunting opportunities make clay shooting an essential practice tool. Sporting clays and skeet were designed to mimic hunting scenarios, with targets that replicate flushing pheasants, crossing doves, and running rabbits. Both sporting clays and skeet have evolved into formal sports with competitions, but you don’t need to compete to benefit from the practice. They remain excellent training grounds for hunters aiming to improve their skills.

Whether you're a new shooter or looking to advance your skills, you'll find everything you need to take your game to the next level directly from world champions. Read the full article to learn more about the costs of clay target shooting: https://claytargetinstruction.com/blog/how-much-does-it-cost-to-shoot-clay-targets/ How Much Does It Cost to Shoot Clay Targets? Clay target shooting costs can vary widely based on your budget and level of commitment. While it’s not a cheap sport, you can manage expenses according to your means.

Read the full article to learn more about scoring in clay target shooting: https://claytargetinstruction.com/blog/how-to-score-clay-target-shooting/ How to Score Clay Target Shooting? In formal clay target shooting, targets are presented either as pairs or singles. In a true pair, two targets are launched simultaneously, while in a report pair, the second target is thrown when the gun fires at the first target. To score a target as "dead," a visible piece must break off from it. Dust puffs and plastic wads do not count as hits. Scoring is essential in competitions, whether informal with friends or in registered events. Larger competitions have official scorers at every stand to record hits and misses. The score sheet is final, and the shooter with the most hits wins the competition. When practicing on your own, scoring is optional and less critical.

Trying to decide between a semi-auto and an over/under shotgun? This is one of the most common questions in shooting sports, and today we break it down. In this video, we compare semi-auto vs over/under shotguns on the sporting clays range, covering the Pros and Cons that actually matter. You’ll see the difference in felt recoil between a gas-operated semi-auto and an over/under, with real-time shooter feedback so you can judge for yourself. We also dive into: - Recoil comparison (gas system vs inertia) - Reliability and maintenance - Weight and handling - Two barrels vs one barrel – does it really matter? If you’re shopping for your next shotgun, no matter if it’s for Sporting clays, Trap, Skeet, or Upland Hunting... This breakdown will help you make the right choice.

What is it really like to shoot the NSCA U.S. Open? I entered the 2026 sporting clays championship at Game Unlimited in Hudson, Wisconsin, and got humbled by a field of more than 1,000 shooters. After three days at the U.S. Open, I walked away with more respect for the men and women at the top of this sport than any score could have given me. Watching them shoot up close changes how you think about what they do.

Congratulations to Todd Hitch on winning back-to-back U.S. Opens with a 192, and to Michael Luongo for a runner-up finish decided by a single target.

Special thanks to Game Unlimited for hosting a first-class U.S. Open.

Got Destroyed and Loved It! 2026 US Open

Benelli invited us to Urbino, Italy, to get an inside look at their factory and how they bring their innovations to life. We walked the floor from raw aluminum billet to finished receiver, got the real explanation behind Advanced Impact barrels, BE.S.T. coating and cryogenic treatment, and found out why a Renaissance town still shapes every gun that leaves the building.

Get Paid to Shoot Shotguns | We Need Help

Target Focused Life August 13, 2026 1:17 am

We set out to answer one question: if we were spending our own money on an elite sporting clays gun, which one would we actually go with? So we took the Blaser F3 Vantage, the Caesar Guerini Invictus V Ascent, and the Perazzi High Tech S out for 100 birds each, same course, same day, and ran all three through the SOSA test.

Being Scull

MrBritish July 17, 2024 5:25 pm

We're talking to range owners Joe Scull and Joe Pancoast, from Cedar Creek Sporting Clays! Over the last 30 years, Joe Scull has focused relentlessly on building an outstanding local club, a true home for competition shooters. In January 2024 Joe sold the club and handed the keys to first time range owner Joe Pancoast! For the first six months of the year, they worked side by side in a transition period - which has just ended. In this video we’re sitting down with owners old and new, we’re asking how things have gone over the last six months… and what the future has in store. Timeline: 00:00 - Opener 01:44 - Scull takes us back 30 years 08:49 - Pancoast brings us up to speed 13:13 - Improvements at the club (womens touch) 14:05 - Handed this great opportunity 16:00 - Learning how to set targets 19:00 - Pancoast and family 23:00 - Scull - Moving on 26:35 - Relentless - Making it work 27:17 - Be a mentor - Gary - Life long friend 28:55 - Gary - the final word

The final episode in the Iain Parker series! This time we focus primarily on the CPSA and NSCA Classification systems. CPSA Averages or NSCA Punches/CCFR, you decide! The extended interview took place during World Sporting 2024. The series discusses the UK's and the US's Clay Target Governing Bodies, the CPSA and the NSCA. Comparisons are drawn, differences are highlighted! The CPSA does some things incredibly well, and lessons can be learned here in the US (and vice versa). Over the course of the series we'll get into Funding, Mandate, Clubs, Target setting, Tournaments, Referee Accreditation... and, their respective Classification systems!
