DoctorG Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Hi everyone, New to clay pigeon shooting, did a taster last year with my good lady and we loved it. Had another go last month (I sneakily went a third time while she was in work!) and we're hooked. License applications being processed, cabinet sat upstairs waiting for the firearms officer to pay a visit and we're off to the local gunshop tomorrow to swing a few O/Us around. I'll avoid mentioning Beretta, Browning or Miroku at the momentfor fear of starting a bun fight I'll avoid asking newbie questions like which gun, which cartridge etc, but I dare say I'll ask a few howlers in the days, weeks and months to come....in fact I have a (probably dumb) question I'm about to post in the forum. Keep your eyes peeled for it, have a laugh for free Spent many years with air rifles but blam blams are all new to me. Some clay bashing will fill the gap between sea trout sessions very nicely. Celebrating a year being cancer free after prostatectomy surgery...yay...treating us both to a couple of guns and the promise of many hours of fun, and not just a little competition between us, shooting frisbees in the sky.

johnlewis Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Glad to hear at least 2 members that have so far beaten the big C and wish my wife would come shooting targets with me, rim and centre fire as well as my 2 sons but alas she has a fear of rifles. If you attend a shoot you be surprised how many women shoot(very well most of them). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Albert Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Welcome to the forum and glad to hear you've got over your treatment. Enjoy it as it's very addictive. Make sure your cabinet is big enough and has room for expansion. You will expand your collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
