Hi everyone, never made a submission before, but just thought I would share my shooting day with you. I bought a Hatsan Pump action shotgun last Thursday, not sure I was doing the right thing, as I have never used such a gun before, but as I’m now getting into pigeon shooting and didn’t want to keep taking my treasured Silver Pigeon 111 out in the field all the time, I thought this would be the best alternative.
I took it clay shooting today (Fair Clay Targets, Beeston. If you never been at this shoot, then you don’t know what your missing, 100 clays for £22, included is a buffet at the local pub). I was sure I would get a good ribbing from my shooting mates, things like, here comes 1 pigeon Geoff and he’s got a pump action, JESUS! Everyone run for it!
Quite the opposite, everyone one wanted to look at it and several wanted to shoot it. And here’s the best bit, I shot a 66, which, believe it for me, is my best score for months
