Sco77w Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 (edited) I've just picked up my new Armsan a612 semi auto today and I'm going to try it out on the clays at Cockett Farm tomorrow. What choke am I best off putting in to give me the best chance of breaking clays (assuming I'm pointing the gun in the right direction) got cylinder, modified and full. I don't want to be faffing about changing chokes for different stands as I think my ability will be the limiting factor not choke choice. just wondered what sort of distance the majority of clays are presented.

The lads that press the buttons and keep the scores, do they get tipped by the guns? if so how much? Edited April 9, 2011 by Sco77w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerettaSV10 Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 I have never tipped the clay trappers / scorers and don't know any one that has tipped them around my area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ross-obrien Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 I normally let the trapper have a few shots at end of the round when shooting at Cocketts by way of a tip. I have never given a financial tip. ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross-obrien Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 How did you get on with the new gun then? I was there this morning with my Mrs. We were the ones with the springer if you saw us. Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Hi Ross, I can't say I saw you today, i think would have remembered (i've a bit of a soft spot for Springers) but the gun was fine, I shot like a complete novice tho and "lost the plot" can confirm that as i went for my first round with her group. In fact I was so shocked at how bad I did I went round again with a guy called Rob (who was a bit hard on himself for not doing too good either)and did no better. Really enjoyed it and will be back next week for more well needed practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
