Marc M Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 32 out of 50 on your second go? I'd say you were a natural!! What style of clay shooting were you doing? (Skeet, Sporting, DTL etc?) I shoot English sporting and so far have a PB of 25 x 50. Well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnGalway Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 My first time shooting clays was an informal event with a friend, I found for my self that when I stopped trying to "aim" at them I did a lot better. I instead let my eyes find the target and since the gun fits me ok the whole hand/eye co ordination kicked in and i was getting 5 and 6 in a row. 32 out of 50 sounds good to me, we didn't keep count but I'm going to next time, I'll loose but I don't care it's too much fun :blink: John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunganick Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 greenfields is in canterbury there is a ground called willow farm in Tenterden Greenfields is a much better ground, but a bit of a drive for you i would imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsam Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 dave it was sporting we was shooting mate and as for clay grounds mildot i would go for the willow farm as what dunganick suggested is a nice little ground :blink: cheers BS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
