This Web Site is an attempt to link together a series of Web sites (plus other useful information) specifically for the Fourten shotgun (.410) user, collector and reloader.

Shooting this diminutive shotgun is a minority sport in the UK and information about, and for, the Fourten shotgun hard to come by.

Can you help with any of our queries?

I suppose you could shoot them with a .410 but these targets are designed for plinking at with an Air gun.
If you have a computer and a decent printer, load it up with reasonably thick A4 paper/card (we use 160 g per sq metre) and print out the particular targets you require.
