I'm in newark....I'm taking lessons at the nottingham gun club..... I have another lesson on Thursday so I'll mention it

I know this may sound like a daft question but seeing as though I am very new to the sport, how do i go about practising skeet on my own? I say on my own as i will be going shooting by myself. I know there will be other people at the club but before just joining in on a round of skeet I wouldn't mind practising for a few weeks or months first but how do I go about this?

only going by what i'm told...better get your cleaning kit out......will be putting my air arms S410F on here tomorrow to raise some more funds

what an absolute fantastic idea. A little far for me but maybe we should get some other places doing this. I know I'm a complete novice to this sport but maybe my local club I'm at might be interested?

thanks for everyone's advice. Its really helped...my lessons have been mainly with a Gold-E but my last one we took the silver pigeon out. I went to have a look at some guns at the Countryman of Derby. I really liked the Browning 525 but again when i went for my lessons my instructor said that unless you like cleaning your gun as soon as its been used, then stick with a Beretta as they don't rust as quickly. Apparently with the Browning if you don't clean and lube it on the same day as you have used it, by the morning after it will start rusting. The Beretta doesn't need as much looking after....I'm sure i'll open a whole can of worms by repeating that. Again been the complete Novice how will i know myself if the gun fits me without the salesman just trying to make a sale?....JF Neville guns in Alfreton has been recommended to me

would you say second hand from a shop or private trade? I suppose its not like buying a car where hidden things can go wrong. is there anything you need to look out for when buying second hand? how do you know how much use it has had?

My shotgun certificate has just come through so its time to buy my first gun. I'm having lessons at the Nottingham Gun club and been told that it will be best to get a Silver Pigeon 1. The question is do I buy new or get a used one? its my first gun so this is all new to me. Any help would be appreciated

Hi is it still for sale?

Thank you for everyone's advice its really helping me. Its all very much appreciated. I know allot more now that what I did yesterday

ok thanks for the advice its much appreciated

Might sound like a daft question but were they all taken with the shotgun?

How long would say 2 rounds last (50 clays).....I bet these questions sound really daft to those who go allot.....didn't want to sound tight

I was thinking of possibly 100 every two weeks.....but then looking at 500 between two every week I wonder if there is any point

Hi just wondered if this offer was still open?

Thank you......the place I'm having my first lesson recommend I have 4 or 5 lessons.....I've applied for my fac as I do target shooting but this is still another 10 weeks away yet

I thought 100 would be about right....do people generally go every weekend or say every other weekend?

I'm completely new to the world of clay pigeon shooting.....in fact I have only been on a taster day. I have though since booked my first lesson for in a couple of weeks. This is something I want to start doing on a weekend but wondered how many clays are normally shot? Around by me in nottingham the prices range from 5.50 to 6.50 a round (25 clays).....how many rounds are seen as a normal mornings shooting?
