    Johno give me a couple of weeks to get sorted and I will deff shoot with you. I only work weekends and apart from the odd commitment in the week I will be good with a couple of hours notice.

    Sounds good, I'll be sure to keep in touch

    Thanks Dougall, I'll be giving that a go real soon

    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?

    Deff up for that... you do know I am a complete newbie? I am looking at the West Kent shooting school that is over near my girlfriends parents and JJ's I believe is pretty close to me. I am between Rochester and Snodland. Where do you shoot?

    Thanks bullet boy.

    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

  12. First Time Out

    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
