My new favourite target

Hi,

 

I went up to sporting targets this afternoon and had a lesson - did birds going away, across, rabbits and - most importantly - a bird off the tower going straight over my head!

 

Now that's a rush when you hit it! Loved that thing. I know how much clay traps are but think I can fit a tower in my back garden? :blush:

 

What's your favourite target style or stand?

I like overheads especially coming towards me, when you push through to cover the bird with the barrel/s and it just 'vanishes' followed by a fine shower of clay particles then you know "yep, smoked that one" :good:

Not one bird, I know, but I really like a nice quick simo pair.

 

Either crossers or a variation of.

 

Each bird separately I would probably hit less than when they are a pair, less time to overthink the shot I reckon.

 

I straightened a stand last weekend like that when everyone else struggled with them.

Anything not crossing at the moment, going through a phase over the last couple of shoots of lifting my head, stopping my gun and missing! :/

 

Do like the high driven off the towers at highlodge or Sporting Targets. The driven over the cliff stand at Hodnet on the PW shoot was a lovely target.
