Spara Dritto Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 When I go shooting I always take 200. I do 100 to try every stand and know what’s on that particular day, have a bite to eat then save 50 for stands I like then lastly 50 for the ones I found harder to always keep improving and ensure that I kill every hard clay before I leave. My question to you is - how many cartridges do you bring and how do you break them down on the clays course? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catamong Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Do you mix the Red and the Blue ones up..?? Cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderdude Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 I take 200 with me and generally just bang away on each stand. I won't leave a stand until I have at least broken the clays a few times. That can be a looooong time... I then return to a stand I enjoyed that day and finish when I have got to a point where I break them consistantly. I never leave the last stand on a miss.

Spiderdude Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Do you own your own ground? :unsure: Eh??? Why would that be? If the place is empty then you can take as much time as you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJN Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 5 - 10 on Tuesday night plus the box I get at the event. 60-75 for the 50 bird shoot on a sunday just in case the setter-up-erer decides we'll have a flush. 125 for any practise that I do at Fennes. I aim to use 100. M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) Eh??? Why would that be? If the place is empty then you can take as much time as you want. I suppose you must go to mid week shoots, you can`t often do what you describe in quite the same way at a regular Sunday shoot that`s all. For instance you can`t just ask for another one just because you missed the last bird. Edited July 28, 2011 by Hamster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to turn up mid week and practice when the place is quiet. I should have mentioned that.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apache Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 I always take plenty! Kelbrook have counters and I have got through the best part of 200 in a session before. Usually take 200 as that's what my cartridge carrying box will hold. In a pub league that shoots 30 birds and I take 2 boxes plus the miscellaneous in my pockets. Get a few no birds and they repeat the pair, you feel a real wally having only taken 30 cartridges (happens every week to someone!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sg1 Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 I normally shoot 50 bird on a Sunday but occassionally whilst we're there we'll decide to do 100 and then of course allowences for no birds,missfires(rarely), accidental discarges(JOKE GUYS :o ) . So I usually take 5 boxes(125) and it usually works out fine . atvb sg1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defiantly better that way. I take as long as I need per stand. When I go I may only see 2 or 3 people but always stop and have a good chat with them. If I ever rock up on a weekend obviously it’s completely different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al4x Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 I think he means do you use the Red ones in the top barrel where they should go and the blue ones in the bottom barrel Improves your score a serious amount I gather he has been doing it for years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timps Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 If Paulos is shooting with me I find I don't need to take that many at all :yp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilR Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Is that where I've been going wrong, the wrong colour cases - my cartridges are black with gold writing on. Also will I hit more clays if they've got higher brass casings too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claybuster Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 I took 10 thousand to shuggy last time, thankfully the lads took them off me & I did'nt have to take any home. I know why because they went up in price the week after :hmm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
