Cheers for the costs

How much are they charging per clay ?

Thanks Stewart. I dont mind the drive to Greenfields, actually went there for a couple of lessons. Just give me a shout at some stage, ive only been once on my own so I'm no hot shot. Cheers John

Sounds good, I'll be sure to keep in touch Thanks Dougall, I'll be giving that a go real soon

Cheers Guys, Ive heard West Kent is very good. I take it they will explain how to use the machinces, I'm no rockect scientist

only on the 3rd wednesday of each month

I generally work strange shifts so often find myself having a short notice day off during the week. This makes arranging to meet up with anyone pretty difficult. Is there anywhere in Kent I can go and shoot clays on my own?

I only shot for the first time on my own this Sunday so we are both new. I have been to both Hawley and Greenfields near Canterbury

Let me know if you ever fancy meeting up for a few clays. Where are you planning to shoot?

Hi Richie, Hopefully you wont have to wait to long. Hand mine in my hand about 5 weeks after sending in my application. Was impressed with the speed. johno

I knew I should watch others but didnt think straight. Felt nervious and my mind went blank.........what a fool

A number of lessons under my belt, new gun and a load of cartridges. Its time to go it alone for the first time. Off to Hawley, had my first lesson there and seemed pretty informal so should be an ideal place to start. Little did I know they have a competition on and the place was packed with people. I was ready to turn around and come away but the wife pointed out that I had spent good money on the gun so I was damn well going to use it. Off to the desk then but what do you ask for? They dont teach you that in any lesson. So score card in hand I headed for the nearest stand. Damn theres a queue of people and more people joining behind me. Will they watch me shoot or will they be kind enough to turn there back and let me do my thing without eyes boring into me. Now its my turn and everything ive ever been taught leaves my mind. I stand funny, I just shoot in the general direction of the little black flying disc thingy, I feel thousands of eyes boring into my back (might be a slight exaggeration), I feel rushed. Just 4 out of 10, dont look at anyone as you walk away. Deep breath and on to the next, keep going and finish with 50/100 Things can only get better

Thanks Guys
