TrapFiller Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 A new world record has been set unoffically for the longest known shot with a 12 bore. 155 yards was achived by Glenn Buckley. I want to congradulate him on a good shot. Not sure in fact in pretty sure i couldn't make it :lol:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 It would be handy if you gave a little more information here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilR Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 It would be handy if you gave a little more information here. I think there's a small article in Pull! or that freeby clay shooting mag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dibs Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 What sort of bird was it? i.e teal, crosser etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdSolomons Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Vertical teal measured out every shoot to take into account wind etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timps Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 How long was the Digweed shot @ Bisley Live? Anyone’s guess as it was not properly measured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun4860 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 How long was the Digweed shot @ Bisley Live? It was supposedly 130 yards, dont know what type of target though ie crosser/teal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 It was a teal, but as Timps says it was only paced out not measured properly - and he only has short legs I guess there are different degrees of unofficial'ness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamster Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 With the greatest respect lets not get too carried away with what's only really a bit of fun. This is not something worthy of putting a name to in the Guinness Book of Records. If you give a C class shooter enough time, clays and 36g no. 5's he'll hit one at 200 yards.

clay shooter123 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Also the distance measured is along the floor, not to the actual target, the higher the target the further away it is. (This is if the target is going dead vertical of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmsy Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 the only bonus this can have is by restricting it down to a 28gm sporting load, then when proven that clays can be broken at 100+yards they might start throwing more stuff out past 40yds in regular comps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 28g of 6 shot (max size allowed for English sporting)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandbank Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Ironic, stuff getting broken at 130+ yards Had a simultaneous quartering rabbit and fast dropping crosser. So close you could almost hit them with a stick. Most people were struggling to score more than 6!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bornfree Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 155 Yards thats nothing.i knew an old boy who shot a cormorant and killed it at 175 yards he used 1oz 6shot cartridge in a spanish sxs. the cormorant was taking fish from his pond but as there was no cover he never could get close enough to shoot it.so he noticed it always landed on the same rock before fishing so he set up the gun facing the rock put a bag of sand on the stock and tied the end of a fishing line around the trigger and ran back to his house and shot the bird from his kitchen window. can anyone beat that. bornfree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
