BiG_Al Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Hi all, As I've just got into shooting was wondering if any one would like a shooting buddy on a day out? I'm a sensible 35 year old with my own gun,transport and insurance. Just need a few pointers and tips off an old hand. Thanks in advance Alex.

BiG_Al Posted September 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 would prefer hunting but wouldn't turn my nose up at clays too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semiautolee Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 (edited) doing a few days on the clays would be a good start so that you get used to your gun and get the feel for it, before you even attempt to go out and get live quarry Edited September 25, 2011 by semiautolee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiG_Al Posted September 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Was going to go today Lee but had to look after the kids whilst the missus went out Also I'm waiting for a coach to reply regarding a lesson 100-150 clays done in the lesson! That should help get me to know my gun and help with mounting it. Wouldn't bother trying to go for the kill till I had settled into my gun and was successfully hitting the targets @ Super sharp shooter I'm in Manchester mate.
