StarletRick Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Hello everyone. Thought I should make a thread to say hello. I'm Rick from Essex and I'm new to shooting. I've shot a few times in the US when over there with work, but never really thought about it when back home. I recently went lamping in Dorset and had a great time, and decided that I need some more of this in my life! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarletRick Posted September 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Sorry. Should have said. I'd like to get into clay shooting, and maybe some pigeon shooting if there is anywhere local? I'm assuming I'd need to join a club? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Albert Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Sorry. Should have said. I'd like to get into clay shooting, and maybe some pigeon shooting if there is anywhere local? I'm assuming I'd need to join a club? Welcome to the mad house. As has been said, There is a clay shoot near you but I don't have any details. You will need your own gun though so I would suggest trying out The Fennes. The Fennes at Braintree is a good clay ground, with excellent coaches, and open Monday to Friday and Saturday morning. They have a web site so have a look and phone Tracy and have a couple of lessons to see if you like it. You will then need to apply for a shotgun certificate from the police. then you can start to have fun with the clays. Once you are confident on the clays you can try for some land to shoot on. Beware though, this can become habit forming and is addictive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
