Trevorevans Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 I only shoot sporting and I find it easier to shoot gun down as when I mount I'm pointing the gun where I'm looking instead of gun up and looking where im pointing the gun if you know what I mean?. On the other hand my shooting partner prefers gun up and drops targets shooting gun down so I guess it's whatever works for you. I'm more interested in using clays as practice for game/field shooting rather than becoming a competition clay shooter, as others have said I don't/wouldn't walk about the field with my gun already mounted so what would be the point of practicing that way?.

Nutcracker Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Gun up or down makes no difference if you can shoot. If you cannot, then stick to what you are happy with. Some clay disciplines would have you at a distinct disadvantage if you were gun up, like Olympic trap or double trap for instance. Pigeon Pete are you really old enough to possess a gun licence or is your experience gained from going with mother? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutcracker Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Pigeon Pete no insult intended at all, just thought that you sounded female and about 14 years old, or are you on some sort of medication. I simply explained that in some disciplines gun up is not only essential, but the only way to shoot it successfully. However if you just want to plink away then that is also fine, you pay your money you make your choice. The fact also remains that good shooters can manage not only both ways but generally can pick up any gun and shoot with it, irritating as that may be. Bath time now! Not you, I have 4 other little tots to deal with since their mother passed 2 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skabo1 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Remember the Dad's Army prog where a sharp shooter from a circus (Barbra Winsor) was recruited to help in a shooting contest, she couldn't shoot unless it was with her back to the target using a mirror or bent double shooting between her legs (steady lads, no making up your own jokes!!) Horses for courses, what works for some, won't for others. Its a broad church, there's room for us all!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you advise all the shooters in the Olympics and our other Trap shooters to shoot gun down? I agree that when shooting sporting that gun up is not always best, but there are times when a gun up shooter will beat a gun down shooter.
