southeastpete Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 shame u cant make it, i emailed chris, one of the owners, he said the 12 yr ols is def welcome, and i told him there would be 8-12 of us, he said we could have a discount, on the shoot and ammo! Cant remember the discount on the shoot, i think about 4 quid off. And 4.25 instead of 4.50 a box of shells. Very good of him i thought! He did say as there were more than 6, we should split into two groups so as not to take too much time at each stand. Next week we should get a count going of whos turning up, i'll start new thread, probably titled, discounted clay shoot at martin gorse, see if we can get a few more interested! Looking forward to meeting you all, pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CZ550Kevlar Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I have my on-call covered, shotgun carts packed and ready, the only problem i have is which gun to bring, will it be my semi, pump or old school over/under. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorsey Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I'll be buying shells there I think - i've never owned any clay rounds and I don't fancy my chances if I was using #6 game loads! Since when have O/U been 'old school' ? I've got so much still to learn :s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZ550Kevlar Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 yep gorsewood is a 28gramme limit site, which is a pain as i use 30gramme 6 pigeon loads. just always have thought of over unders as old school compared to my new design semi`s and pumps.

southeastpete Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Cool, well heres the email from one of the shoot organisers, Hi Pete , Thanks for your enquiry . Would be most pleased to see you all on the 30 th Jan . Yes the 12 year old is most welcome as long as he is supervised by one of yourselves . We have a 410 or 20 bore gun if he needs something a bit smaller than a twelve bore . As you are all comming down as a group i will give you a discount as follows ;- 50 bird option normal price £ 16 - your price £ 14 each 100 " " " " £ 24 - your price £ 20 each Please note cartridges must be fibre or felt and max shot size no 6. If you require cartridges they can be supplied at a one off discount again because of your group size , at £ 4.25 per 25 as opposed to normal price of £ 4.50 . As you are twelve in number you will need to split up into two groups of six so you get round quicker . Hope to see you He didnt mentiuon a 28 gram max, but i'll take your word for it. And at 4.25 a box, its not exactly a hardship. Shall we get a count going? Dorsey +dad 2 CZ550 Kevlar 3 Southeastpete 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CZ550Kevlar Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 it might be worth asking chris by phone, i first started going to Gorsewood about 4 years ago ish and was always told 28 gramme max as most of the stands there shoot out over a section of field towards the local farmers crops and just past that a public road which is quite weird, 28 gramme number 6`s made the shot fall about right, i think anymore power and the farmers is going to find several tons of lead at harvest time. If they now let people use pigeon carts like 30`s or 32`s down to a 6 then that would be a bonus for alot but worth checking out, would be embarassing to be caught out.

CZ550Kevlar Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Not long to go now then looks like Kevlar has got himself a good excuse for bad shooting if he manages to make it! i`ll be there, i shoot bare armed on clays as i find jackets etc restricting, all i wear is a clay vest and a t-shirt with a windstopper top under if it`s chilly. Luckily it`s my left arm so not so bad, however i can`t use my pump now so it`s semi or O/U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
