Daks Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Just got back from a 50 bird, I hit 28. Ignoring the variables, how many would you expect to hit on average ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 I would expect to hit 50 out of 50......but would be happy with 10? I would be happy with that, unless shooting clays every week-end. Well done & like your gundog? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers I didn't think 28 was too bad, as for the dog hes an old English Bulldog and I love him to bits, but he's not a gun dog, he would likely run off with my kill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washerboy Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 about 5 at the minute , anything into double figures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAV331 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 You can't really compare scores like that. You might hit 28 on your local ground, but 10 on someone else's and 40 on another. If it is a CPSA registered shoot than than you will have rough idea of your actual ability when comparing to others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm well aware of these factors, which is why I asked the reader ignore the variables and give an average, but hey... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is a CPSA registered shoot than than you will have rough idea of your actual ability when comparing to others. Thats very true indeed at my local today I got a 76 out of 100 , And at my first CPSA shoot a few weeks ago I got a measly 56 out of 100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeside1000 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 I think a 30 / 50 score is very acceptable if you dont shoot clays every week, My average is 32 but my best week was 40 / 50 , ive only been shooting clays for about 2 months but go every week to try to improve my hit rate on the feathered variety. I find the 2 very different , I prefer to shoot pigeon and crow, and normally expect to hit a higher percentage than clays, but a regular visit to a clay ground certainly sharpens your aim.

silver pigeon 3 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Haven't shot clays since Sept so if i went tomorrow probably 35 ish, at the end of the summer after a bit of practice hopefully 40+. One thing i do find is that if i shoot a lot of clays my birds to cartridge ratio in the field suffers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footu Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 I just started last November , managed to get up to 24 at caerwys then the heavy wind came and walked home after spitting my dummy out with just 6! 2 days ago went to nwss and hot around 65-70 from 100 so I have noooo idea what will happen one day to the next. I guess that's the fun of it. I do pretty good on a rough shoot. I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magman Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 The more you do the better you get before i cut me tendons i would expect 40+ now im not to sure but time will tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karpman Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Only ever been once hit 28/50 not planning on going again anytime in the near future either lol. I enjoyed it but prefer being in the field to be honest. Karpman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sx3 clay breaker Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 My aferage is around 36 mark out of 50 and my highest is 41 out of 50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diceman Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 You can't ignore the variables unfortunately because every shoot is different in so many ways, but I know we we have laid out a good non competition 50 bird club shoot if the scores come in with one or two on 47+ , the majority between 38-43 and the lowest of the regular shooters on 30+. I would expect a total novice who has spent some time on the practice stand to come out in the teens. It is very difficult to set up a shoot that keeps everyone happy, our layout is different every time, but if we get a result as above then most people seem to be quite satisfied.

TEMPER Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Shot 36/50 and 32/50 this morning. Which is roughly where I was before I had a 3 year lay off from shooting. Been back on them two months and shoot every other Sunday so I'm happy with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrus1988 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 If I hit more than I miss then I'm happy. My best has been 38 out of 60 but average 30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 40 + or i,d sulk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I expect to be around the 80% mark average and somedays it's higher others lower. Registered shoots my average drops a bit about 10% lower,more at Worsley,registered comps have some targets ive never shot or seen before.

aris Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I find clays a bit of a mind game. Yes, there is alot of technique involved, but if you concentrate too little, you miss, If you try too hard you miss. When your brain in in 'the zone' you hit them. Well, that's how I find it for myself. Love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthewpaver Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 On my first time out last week I got 23 out of 25, shooting 3 diff positions (coming to me, going away, and side on). The 2 I missed were the side on ones. Tracking the clay sideways was a little tricky. The MK38 I shot with was a charm. The mother bought me a voucher for the York Gate club, and she insisted she went too. Thing is, she hit 25/25 haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainman_l Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 As others have said it depends on the set up. I shoot an average of 33 with a highest every score of 41. Once you have a consistent mount it becomes a memory game - find the correct lead for a certain angle and then remember it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hgill92 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 17/60 the other day, so it works out like 15/50.. 2nd time shooting sporting and only one lesson ever... so looking to improve week by week through picking up tips from more successful shooters!
