Dekers Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Must try it sometime...this is the best I have done so far..................... Lets not start the debate again if you missed it first time around, this was TOTALLY legal, filming work, and no wildlife was harmed during the filming!

Big Al Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 I shot clays off the back of a cruise liner in Alaska 20 odd years ago. A 20 gauge pump gun. 10 bucks for 10 shots - a monumental rip off today, never mind 20 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team tractor Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Been there done it when I was 18 off the back of a cruise ship. I'd never used a shot gun and was handed a 5 shot mossberg I managed 25 out of 30 which was the top score the boat was full of yanks which couldn't get over 3 and I'm not joking . I turned around to see about 200 people clapping The rest of the holiday I had yanks coming up to me shaking my hand asking me if I compete lol but I took great pride in saying I'd never done it before I came home and a applied straight away but I can't hit a thing 14 years later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesketh Posted February 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Well this is sounding promising over all... Not lease the fact they run these tours from London, any idea how far Dow the river they go? Not thinking along the lines of an aircraft carrier. But I guess dropping a call into the Firearms team might be a good idea before we give this a go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plank06 Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 About 10 years ago I was on a mini cruise from Cyprus to egypt and they were clay shooting off the back of the boat, I hadn't started shooting by that point though unfortunately!

toplever Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Have shot sharks and floating cardboard boxes off the back of a minesweeper in the med with a Sterling SMG. Have shot geese from a moving grain trailer with a 12 bore and rabbits from a Land Rover and a Combine. Never shot clays from a boat . There is a shoot on the broads in Norfolk where you can shoot duck from boats . George Lanham is the man . He doesn't do clays tho'. Hope you can swim as wearing a mae west and trying to shoot - would be entertaining but dangerous for nearby matelots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aister Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 There was a couple of the purse netters up here that had clay traps fitted on the stern, it gave the crew something to do while waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesketh Posted February 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Well after Grrclark had a chat with the very helpful FAO up our way it looks like this is all good to go and game-on. He did suggest we - Gave the local police a quick call to let them know first - Not to shoot towards the shore - oh and not to have any "accidents" So next to look into a clay trap and start buying clays.

Beardo Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 yes about 15 years ago - from the back of the Canberra somewhere near the Channel Islands - good fun, though there was a lack of crossers and incoming shots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
