PhilR Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 I started clay shooting back in 1977 and my first gun was a Miroku 800S as I was a skeet shooter. Then I started going to sporting shoots and the received wisdom was to get one of those then new fangled multi chokes which I duly did and regretted selling the 800 as my shooting nosedived. In the intervening years a few guns have passed through my hands although I've owed my current Perazzi since 1991. A chance visit with my friend to his local gunshop in Lincolnshire on Tuesday saw me walk out with a Miroku 800S, I had a few clays off the tower at Kibworth yesterday and it felt like I was with an old friend again. Those pheasants and ducks had better watch out tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Hi Cat, My CPSA number issued in 1977 is 19xxx that's a good few lower than yours so when did you join The 20 bore went last week, I had a good game season last year with it but it just didn't feel right and I was made an offer I couldn't refuse Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
