Iced Tiger Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Well it's finally come around, my first lesson on the clays tomorrow. It will be also the first time out with the 525 . Weather looks to be clearing up, hope I can hit a few. All the gear and no idea springs to mind at the moment, just finished sewing the badges on my vest . Having a go at 50 sporting, hope I can hit at least a quarter of them. Wyre Gun Club is just down the road from me and will hopefully be my practice ground for the near future.

Gordon R Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Toplands at Woodplumpton is near to you and worth a visit, as is Bobbin Mill at Scorton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep its a good feeling, as neil says relax and enjoy yourself a good coach / instructor will make you feel at ease and guide you throgh every thing. Even better is when you go out and what you just been taught clicks into place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iced Tiger Posted October 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Thanks for the replies, had a great time . Even managed to hit a few, it went so fast, did not think to count the clays I hit :blink: . I think a lot of practice is in order then a further few lessons to try and iron out the glitches. Many thanks to Tom Rowlandson for his patience. Will be having a go at all the local clubs to get my eye in as they say and have a look at the facilities. Thanks Gordon for the heads up on Toplands and Bobbin Mill , I think I will also have a go at Blackpool as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del T Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Hi, We had our second lesson yesterday with Tom too!. Did another 50 each. Really enjoyed it and we hit more than our first lesson so thats good. I loved the tower,managed to hit most of them on that one. The wife is really enjoying it,so much so that she ordered a musto shooting jacket last night lol. We have no gear and no idea but we are learning. :-) Just waiting for Lancs police to grant us a sgc each! Two weeks wait feels like two months :-( Cheers Dunc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iced Tiger Posted October 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Hi Dunc, I enjoyed the tower too, managed to hit a few off it. My SGC took about six weeks from Lancs, but it was applied for over xmas last year. My SGC change of address last month only took two weeks tough. Good luck with the clays. atb Neil.

Del T Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Hi Neil Fingers crossed we only have to wait a few more weeks for the sgc. Have you booked in for a few more lessons with Tom? We will be back in two weeks for another one,hopefully getting better each time. will probably see you around there sometime,if you see a husband and wife missing a lot come and say hi lol.

Iced Tiger Posted October 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Not booked any more yet Duncan, was going to visit all the local clay shoots to see which I liked the best. So far I have had a go at MCS and Wyre, going to try Toplands, Blackpool and Bobbin Mill. Neil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
