Bloke Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) Hi and welcome to the zoo! You don't say much about your background, but if you are that new to the sport, it might be worthwile apending some time on the clays before live shooting. the last thing you want is leaving a field after a day with no hits at all, or worse, having wounded everything you hit, without clean kill shots. You will almost inevitably wound a few, but you need to get a good aim before getting out in the fields IMHO. All the best and enjoy your shooting...

Nettleton lodge is supposed to be fairly good, think that's Market rasen way :s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan-250 Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 I haven't alot of experience but it will get you out. Experience is what counts you learn by doing not looking and watching. Pigeons are totally different to clays, they bob and weave all over and speed up not slow down like clays. And they don't stick to a certain trajectory, so bit kore of a challenge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
