throdgrain Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Where I shoot we mostly go around the sporting course ina group of 4 or 5, the traps are all electric so the person not shooting just presses the button, no big deal. I thought it would be like that at most clay clubs, am i wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffygun Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 I practice on the clays at a local club Clay2000, their sporting and DTL's are voice activated....neat little gadget but can be a bit of a pain if you cock yer gun a bit loud (or cough, sneeze, scratch yer ***** a bit loud etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 I wondered where the Martin Gorse Clay Club was and so I did a Google search. This thread is top of the search list. The Martin Gorse Clay Club is second. black hat, you have a PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 Black Hat, Bradders and I met this morning at the Martin Gorse Clay Shoot outside of Dover. Unfortunately, Black Hat had to leave before the shooting began, as his Wife was unwell. Bradders and I teamed up with an Underkeeper named Danny, to shoot a 70 bird round of Sporting. Unfortunately, my bad knee playing up, new shooting glasses, wrong cartridges, bad trapping and excuses 357 to 832 from the Clay Shooters Handbook, all conspired to make me a dismal third, with Danny (only his second time on clays ) narrowly beating Bradders to be the Top Gun. A good fun morning was had by all and the clays were rather testing on most layouts, as the wind made them behave differently every pull. The Organisers had also placed the woodland traps, so that the shooters helped clear some of the trees, everytime they shot. I have never shot Martin Gorse before and would recommend the layout to anyone. Although it was busy, we never waited too long on any stands and the fact Bradders had been there before, was helpful in finding our way around. Will definitely do that again.
