motty Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Glad you had a good day, Harry. I would still advise having several rounds of skeet to fine tune those shotgun skills. Then instead of thinking about lead it will become a natural thing to lift the gun up and fire in the correct place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIDENSEEK Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Well done! I don't think you'll look back now. If things are a bit slow, and pouring a cup of coffee doesn't work, go for a ***, guaranteed to bring the pigeon in! All the Best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of times it happens is unbelievable.....its not just shooting either! When I was barbell fishing last autumn I sat in the rain and cold for over 6 hours waiting for that "big" bite without even a knock.....the minute I got up to go for a leak the rod was nearly pulled in!!

Penelope Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Did you land it though, and how big? You couldn't be more right!!

yidoharry Posted February 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Did you land it though, and how big? too right I did....after an almighty battle playing it out of an overhanging tree and a couple of snags I eventually bagged it at the second attempt..... came in at 10lb 2oz......not my biggest but definetley my most rewarding!! Amazingly I caught it again from a swim 200 yards away 2 weeks later weighing 1oz more!!......all this talking about big barbell is making me drool!!

storsey Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Free advise is always great but not always what you need...but ....... "if you aint getting the lead in the right place , you aint gonna knock em out the sky " Deffo have a few lessons it will stand you in good stead for the basics and an instructor will iron out any big problems you have. Your gun is fine ..perhaps 1/4 choke would be a little easier on you but i have a beretta 686 with 1/4 and 1/2 and i get a few !!!! depending on where you go have 2 hours with a instructor this will be £100 ish and will improve your kill rate. Cartridge wise 30g or 32g 6.5 0r 6 shot is fine and set your decoys up within a range you are comfortable and i was told to watch a few come to the pattern before you start having a go at them...when your ready take the shots ,, be confident and we all miss mate ...the more honest of us...... miss a lot ! Just remember everyone you miss is one more you can get ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penelope Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Yidoharry - If are looking to take a couple of lessons I think Michael Alldis' Essex Shooting School just outside Epping is the closest. http://www.shooting-school.org/clay-pigeon-shooting/contact/index.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
