ha ha what ya like!

Hi Phil thank you for the advice you have given. Mike told me some of the same things when i met him on Saturday so its good to be hearing someone say the same things. Thats a nice gun that she is shooting but a bit out of my price range. I dont really want to go over £1500 unless its something that i really do fall for. I am 5ft 7in and a size 10 so im a little taller and bigger than your wife but not by alot. So that means if she is ok with a 12 bore then so will I. Wow she must be a very good shooter! Good on her is what i say When we do go back to malmo (when we have our licenses) we will let them know in advance so that they know we will be coming down and can spend time with us so that we can look at and try as many guns as possible and then make any necessary adjustments that may be needed to the gun i pick. We have been having a look at that kelbrook place so we may have to pop down there and either have a lesson or hire a gun or two when we have our licenses and we can ask some advice at the same time. Thanks again Cheers Mrs P

Yes the profile pic is real and it's a fairly recent one :-) Yes I think the adjustable stock would be good for me. When I next go looking I will try a few for size that have them and see how it feels. Yes as Mike says me and my husband are complete novices, we have only had 3 lessons so far, but will be booking another for this next weekend. Once we have our licences we can try hiring a few so that we can try out a few more guns. Then we can go out and buy our own :-)

Yes I have decided to forget to cynergy now I don't think it will be for me. Ha ha but you have seen me but I'm not going to ask if you think I'm tall, short, fat or thin ha ha PhilR seems to have some good advice, a lot of which you had also said to me yesterday :-) Im thinking that buying a gun for a woman is a little more difficult than it is for men, but maybe I'm wrong !

Thank you to everyone who has given me advice. It has given me alot to think about. The one thing that is a bit annoying is that the first thing you want to do when your license is granted is to go out and buy a gun, but at the same time i do realise that the more guns i can try the better. Oh its annoying LOL I did nip up to Blackpool sporting clays yesterday for a quick look round and while i was there Andy let me have a quick go on his silver pigeon 12gauge and i shot using 25g cartridges and it was fine, i really liked the gun and its feel. Mike also kindly let me have a try with his semi automatic and it was a nice gun with low recoil, but i still do prefer and o/u I was also still told that i would be better with an adjustable stock on the gun i do decide to buy. Thanks again

ha ha cheers :0)

I fancied the cynergy black ice as i had read it was suitable for women with its light weight, and also i love the look of it. But i know just because i like the look of something it doesnt mean it will actually be any good for me (sorry i sound like a typical woman "because i like the look of it " LOL). why is it you guys have reccomended not to buy a gun with an adjustable stock? the beretta 686e with adjustable stock was actually the gun suggested to my husband. i dont fancy a semi automatic to be honest but i had read about them being lighter on the recoil for women i think im best as you all say going back to the store and trying them all until one fits and feels right Cheers

Thank you to everyone who has welcomed me on PW :-) :-) Yes Andy it is me Amanda, hope you are well :-)

Thanks for the offer oddjob but you are a bit far away :-) We only nipped in the shop for 5 minutes so didn't chat for long with them or look at too many guns. She suggested an adjustable stock as the lady said I have high cheek bones so there was a greater area from the stock to my cheek. So far I have only shot a 410 and a silver pigeon 20 gauge, I did enjoy shooting the silver pigeon but will wait to see how I get on with the 12 gauge.

Cheers Andy :-)

Hi Everyone Well as i have said in my title i am a newbie to all things shooting. My husband and I have had 3 lessons so far clay shooting (sporting) and are really enjoying it. We applied for our shotgun licenses about 4 weeks ago so hoping they wont take too long. While we are waiting we thought we would start looking into what shotguns we would like to purchase. I had originally set my sights on a Browning Cynergy Black Ice, but these are proving difficult to find. I have been told by the lady at Malmo guns i need one with an adjustable stock and she recommended a Winchester Select energy 30" 12bore. I just wondered what peoples opinions are on this gun or could you recommend any other guns to look at which would be suitable for women. Many thanks in advance Mrs P
