grahamcpotter1977 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Hi Guys. I'm 32, and looking at taking up shooting in Essex. I'm in Clacton on Sea. I have never fired a gun before, so all this is new to me. Question: What is the best sort of shot gun for a starter shooter? (Like myself) Hoping to meet fellow shooters, in and around Essex, and to make friends etc. Keep in Touch Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSS Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Welcome to PW. I dont think you can go far wrong with a 12 bore to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 (edited) Welcome, suggest getting in touch with a local club or clay range and have a lesson or 2 break a few clays and take it from there, if you like it get your SGC application sent of as it can take 2 months to get it back. Try a few guns see whats suits and then take it from there dont forget before you can buy a gun you need the cert and suitable cabinet etc which will cost a few £££ Edited February 4, 2010 by HDAV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamcpotter1977 Posted February 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Thanks for that guys. Off to my local shotgun club on Saturday morning. Clay shooting, to have a look and a try and to get a feel for it. Hopefully will love it, and will apply asap for SGC. As for a gun, have been recommended a AYA Yeoman 12 Bore? Had a look online and they seem pretty fitting. But will take advise, and will try a few before settling. Thanks for all comments and advise.
