gazzthompson Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Hey guys and gals! My names Gary, where do i start? I recently got my shotgun certificate and first shotgun, got me a Hatsan Escort Magnum. I will be using this as a field gun as i will be getting some land soon (hopefully!) but i took it clay pigeon shooting for the first time last week and loved it! (first time on my own, but ive had numerous lessons). In a few weeks, once i sort the funds, i will be getting a beretta silver pigeon as a clay gun and i cant wait! My love of shooting started in cadets, where i shot the usual. .22, 5.56 and 7.62, I Shot for norfolk with the 7.62 (Parker Hale M82 i thnk? we just knew it as 'target rifle') and was quite proficient. Im now 20 (21 on the 16th) and wish to try all discipline's and types of shooting sports! As the above says i got my shotgun and have started clay shooting, which i love. My colleague does game shooting and im trying to get land to try that as well. Ive also got a few contacts with deer stalking places here so will be trying this out soon as well! I got my Escort (and soon Silver pigeon) off Philip Webster at Gt. Ellingham, Shameless plug as hes been great help. I think thats all for now.. So yeah, hello!

gazzthompson Posted November 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 (edited) Thanks people The two Deer stalking places i know of and have contacted are: Deer Stalking with Hockham Deer Management Group and Milburn Game & Shooting. Do any of you have opinions of either of these? I cant wait to get my Silver Pigeon, So excited. I currently shoot at Lakenheath as i live in watton so its pretty close but has great facilities as well. And ive gone for the Silver pigeon after handling as many shotguns as i could (Again, Thanks Philip Webster for letting me hang round his shop to get a feel of some of them) and found the Beretta felt best, felt slimmer than the Browning's and miroku shotguns which i liked alot.
