Oxfordshooter Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Hello all, I'm a long time, sub-12ftlb air gunner who lives in Oxford and has finally got round to having a clay shooting lesson at Barbury Shooting school near Swindon. Being used to taking my time and shooting paper targets, trying out a new shooting discipline which involved fast reactions and instinct was great fun. Last week I put in an application for a shotgun licence and am due to have a safe delivered next week. Not sure how long Thames Valley Police will take to process my application though... Any advice from you experienced clay shooters would be very welcome about what starter shotgun (£300 max) would be a good first purchase.

Oxfordshooter Posted June 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 ...thanks for the advice all - it seems like Lanber or Lincoln would be worth me checking out then. Another question: is buying a used shotgun privately too risky an option for somebody who doesn't know what to look out for in terms of defects? Or are these things pretty fail safe? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyatt Twerp Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Welcome mate. lanber, lincon or betinsolli are all good starting guns but the fit is the most important thing to remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
