I have been shooting for over 34 years and in the last 6 months I have developed an issue with eye dominance. Dennis was recommended to me by a friend. I rang, made an appointment and after spending all day with Dennis, he not only fitted my gun, but then took the time explaining and discussing this problem. He then helped me to overcome this issue and put me back on track. The mans a genius and helped me when I was frustrated and at a very low point of shooting and I for one can’t thank him enough, a true gentleman and someone you can trust.
My son was our best trap shooter with a 100 year old LC Smith. The gun smith said it fit him perfectly. No changes were made. The LC is heavier than our same age Sterling far lighter in the field and a great pheasant gun. Vintage side by sides aren't cheap ,but far better equally priced new.
I like the fact he was not maker biased in any way, not sales driven by any one maker unlike some shops nearer my home in Oxfordshire mentioning no names!!
Dennis and Brian are brilliant. I went in just ask some questions before applying for my fac. Spent over an hour being drowned in tea and information to help. At no point at all was I made to feel I was taking up their time. I would recommend them hands down!
Hi agree 100% I was paying for lessons when I first got my licence I explained that I didt want to just learn how to shoot a over under I had to put my foot down and turn up with 2 or 3 different types of shotguns and all I kept getting is you should only shoot one. I have 8 different shotguns now and I hit Clay's with them all
thank you Dennis i enjoyed very much this time w/you and found your remarks incitful. being only a farmer and shoot owner i am left with only my collection of charles dalys, Souers, and a browning...but with stiff upper lip will soldier on! may the high bird fall to your shot. Robert
"25-inch barrels! Throw them away!" Right into the back of my JEEP! The firearms industry has always attempted to convince the shooting public that they need something new! If this were not so, we would never be convinced that we need another gun! I have several barrel lengths, but my favorite is a Browning Citori with 26-inch barrels, a pristine older hunter model! Driven pheasants just fall from the sky, but of course... I am an instinctive (Churchill Method) shooter! If any of you own any of those pesky Purdey, Boss, or Holland and Holland, shotguns, with those absolutely useless barrels under 28-inches! Just give them to me. I will take care of them for you! God Bless... Bill
Side by sides all the way . No reason at all for an over and under. To me they were a mistake. They crack open longer and your eyes are side by side not over and under .😎
I’ve always wondered why it is that across the pond you all use a side by side or an over under. I’m from the U.S. and you rarely see anything other than a semi or the occasional pump it seems. If anyone wants to weigh in with their comment please feel free.
The side by side and over/under offerings can be broken open, which means that not only you know the gun is safe - everyone around you can see it. Three shot semis are mostly used for pigeon shooting, but semis and pump guns aren't viewed as sporting or ideal, from a safety perspective, for the above reasons.
Pheasant shooting should be done with a side by side. Problem is clay shooting, once they hit a few Clay's they want to shoot live game. Game shooting is an entirely different sport. It requires utmost safety..... personally I am fed up with jumping in ditches,to get out of the way of the clay swingers

Excellent, but you could have used the force....dogjedi
Here we see two genuine men with no attitude but a genuine love and passion for the sport.
Be nice to see this gunshop, there's nothing like this in the states. Side by sides are beautiful.

Denis is a gentleman, he didn't want to name the offending brands which are fixed the most often.
Out of interest what are those brands
What a great guy
Can't fault Dennis and Brian at UK Gun Repairs excellent service at realistic prices.
I like the fact he was not maker biased in any way, not sales driven by any one maker unlike some shops nearer my home in Oxfordshire mentioning no names!!
I've always liked the 26" barrels!
My first love is pheasants 2nd was squirrels back when I was a little lad you would say. Now I'm into waterfowl
and sporting clays...

Yeah -they have to work on the tea 🙂
Very intelligent interview!!! I like his analogies back to cars; he frames his arguments in terms of what we live with day to day.
Just bought a Webley & Scott lovely little bird gun made in 1968.

Sad news - R.I.P Dennis

Hahahahaha I first thought it said how to buy a shotgun for shooting peasants.😂😂😂 I was was like those damn British never change
Eye glasses are key.
I totally read the same thing
"Nah come on, get it fitted" haha well said sir

What would be the best under €1000 shotgun for someone who is just getting into shooting pheasants/clay and about to get his hunting licence??
Older Beretta 680 range
What about B. Rizzini or Fabarm guns?
Its much more difficult shooting a side by side than a over/under
Should be called: "how to find a gun for shooting pen raised birds pushed out over static shooters"
Ten thousand rounds is nothing today , tom Knapp put four hundred thousand rounds through a benelli.
Why don't you guys use semi-autos or pumps on your pheasant hunts
Elegance and tradition, and because the sport is about the shot not the kill. / Charlie
@@fieldsportstv ok thanks for telling me
Also we shoot pheasants we don't hunt them!

Totally agree. There are countrymen and there are clay shooters. So far this season I've hit the deck twice!
Video summary : don’t buy a Turkish shotgun
I'm here because I didn't see the "h" in pheasants.
😂😂
I clicked this saying it was for shooting Peasants. I am very disappointed.
Me too. As in chav shooting? Makes a interesting change doesn’t it?
