CZ550Kevlar Posted October 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Ok went to Millride, excellent place! 21g elegy first lites are not lite at all! They are damned heavy, we thought they seemed to kick a lot and they really did kick, they are powerful enough to cycle in my escort! Escorts so call won't cycle anything under 24g something isn't right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CZ550Kevlar Posted October 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 So how did the lady get on? Luckily they have a hand trap for nice going away birds and 3 other cages to shoot the same targets but different angles, she had 50 clays and hit 6 or 7 but considering she was using a 12g shotgun designed for my arms I thought she did well, we are back up as a group end of November so will try again but am taking my remmington 870 which has an excellent recoil pad as surprise surprise the day after her shoulder hurt and still does but she soldiered on. Thumbs up from me as I'm not the best coach and shooting came naturally for me so coaching is new to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerCat Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 I found 21g comp x almost recoil free, the Mrs loves them and to be fair, if no ones looking, I use them too sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZ550Kevlar Posted October 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 6-7 from 50............... No offence but i wouldn't give up the day job.I might not be the best teacher, also it was a big gun compared to her and the fit wasn't great, also needed a recoil pad.We are back on the last week in November and bought a jack Pyke recoil pad to put on the gun so we will try again and see, to give her credit the only thing she has shot in the past is a BB gun.

HDAV Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 Recoil pad will increase the LOP which may make the fit worse so if you can get her to try the fit before you go back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZ550Kevlar Posted October 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 I have a cunning plan, I'm going to take my escort and remove all the shims, then when i add the jack poke recoil pad it should be more or less the same, maybe shorter.

They are good carts in terrible weather today a friend (female) was getting great kills at DTL with 21g first and 1/2 choke.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
