And then there were 3....
18A ______s ___s_ (A polite man's gas goes on a long journey)
13D _h__s___ (Mrs Shove)
21D ___e_ (Shotgun target)
18A ______s ___s_ (A polite man's gas goes on a long journey)
13D _h__s___ (Mrs Shove)
21D ___e_ (Shotgun target)
18A: probably Argent's Quest
A polite man = A gentleman = A gent = Argent?
goes on a long journey = quest
Not sure where the gas fits in though, maybe a reference to Argon (Ar) which is a noble gas.

Shakes fist.
I thought that one would last longer that that. especially the gas reference Come on two more and I've go a really tricky one for you next.... (evil laugh returns)
Heh, I was thinking of Argon when I saw the clue. But then I was also thinking of hydrogen, helium, radon, etc...
So the last two:
13D -h--s-e- (Mrs Shove)
21D ---e- (Shotgun target)
Could 13D be Thruster? Not sure what the "Mrs" would mean, apart from the vague similarity in pronunciation to "thrust her". Or perhaps an allusion to catching thrush? :-/

I thought that would last longer than it did.
Congratulations guys.
Mutters something about "banhammer time" under breath
But I'm enjoying these, never done them before and it all adds to the community spirit.
Here's my last one for now. I've tried to make it trickier but you'll all do it in a couple of hours you rotten lot you.
And no mention of any spelling mistakes i.e 22d should be "before".
