  1. 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?

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. 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?
