I’ve since posting shot at a couple of other clay grounds and asked this exact question, all owners stated and in some cases pointed me to the notice stating 2 cartridges ‘ONLY’ as you simply can’t cater for stupidity. All owners had stories of issues and near missed with one guy shooting his toes off and another shooting his car door. They also made comment on the fact the clays come in pairs.
The reason for this thread was more relating to pump action, as opposed to semi auto, but the rule still stands for both at the grounds I shoot. The semi is almost certainly capable of hitting both targets, whereas what I witnessed with the pump, you’d struggle every time to hit the second, let alone get a third off. Simo pairs you’d only get one shot off leaving 2 in the chamber. It Felt more square peg round hole and to me looked blooming awkward to say the least.
for clarity, from my part this isn’t any form of snobbery at all, what I and many others witnessed on that particular day looked and was simply unsafe use, the fact it was a pump I think further added to this. Some of this was down to the owner, some due to the design and purpose of the pump. To be fair the rest of that particular squad seemed to be having more fun with their O/U as they were actually hitting stuff.
This is an open debate guys to discuss this, I genuinely can’t see any need to take a 3 shot pump to a dedicated clay ground other than to tit about, this being the case follow ground rules and stick to 2, if not go to somewhere that allows it. it’s always going to attract attention and differing opinion especially if the ground rules aren’t being followed, from those stood in the queue behind waiting for the stand to become vacant and the gun to be unjammed.A pump can be shot as quick as any in the right hands my best score is 40 with pump and 42 with o/u out of 50 only load 2 in pump may not be great scores but im happy with them

I quite often load 3 when I use an auto to save time in the stand. I only use it at a local club ground and with the consent of the person running the shoot that day.
Much quicker to load 3 first up and then top up two in the bottom after every pair than put one into the chamber, cycle it then put another in the bottom. Only load one additional cartridge when the buttoner calls last pair. As its an auto there's no reason for the muzzle ever to come out of the 'safe zone' until your done and the breach flag is put back in the gun.
Don't even start on auto users that walk off after shooting having left 10 empties on the floor 😆 They should be shunned by the shooting communities and their own families.
Theres just as many with o/u that let there emptys fly

I used to run up and down every time I was in the area many years ago as a youngster and serving soldier.
Took my wife and kids on the train and walked down as I became older. Last time I ran it was around 96 with my son before he joined the Army. Doubt I could walk onto the train now.
If you like a challenge try Tryfan, more challenging but a better sense of achievement, still with fantastic views. Tryfan was the first time my son had ever looked down on clouds and I still remember the look on his face, he was about 10 at the time.
This was my first time on a proper hike mate wasent as fit as he thought he was so it was at his pace he wants to do scarr fell pyke next spring going to pick some walks out inbetween he thought walking round village green was enougth training he strugled but did it

Always carry mine in slip semi or over/under or pump main reason seen to many guns damaged after been hit with bits off clays
