Bagsy Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Not heard of that one before, unless it's anything like the old arcade game on Southend seafront would be interested to see what it's about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markio Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 I have seen at setup at a local country/farmers fair last year. Didn't see it running as no one was interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tosspot Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 have done it to be quite honest didn't enjoy it no kick, no bang, no visual clay explosions and remember your dealing with the speed of light not lead at 1450 fps never seen one of these busy but hey give it a whirl with a load of mates it could be fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Go dressed in camo and take your shotgun with you. When they don't let you use your gun, everytime you pull the trigger scream "bang" at the top of your voice. Job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Master Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Last tiem I did it I cleared the little set up. My Dad did as well. This was before we had shotguns and I was just pointing in the rough direction as if I was shooting it with one of my air rifles and even if you are a long way off the actual target the clay is 'hit'. Like has been previously said you are dealing with the speed of light not lead but they are very openly choked anyway so beginners see a rate of sucess.

pin Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Lets face it, no real guns = no real harm. Bloke isn't going to turn up and let 20 stags miss every clay and then call them **** shots, is he? I wager you will all be expert marksmen by the end of the night. Try pointing the gun the other way and see if the "clay" breaks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismpullbang Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 ive done it before, nothin like the real thing, even a really fast target you dont need to give it any lead...**** if you ask me, i was beaten by a 10 year old who sits at home playing pc games all day (shooting AT the *******)...somethin up there, i then went and won the real clay competition by with a 25/25 on the skeet hehe :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suffolk shooter Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 I did this two years ago on a work's "Team building Day". The guy running it asked if anybody had shot clays for real, so I put my hand up. Straight away he said "You'll probably be the worst shot then....", he wasn't far wrong. In my group I came 4th ex 5, due to the fact that I kept giving lead, when I should have just pointed the gun at the clay and tracked it SS :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DFB :( Yes, A friend ran one for social events that didnt allow the real thing, the trick is to shoot as you would for a rifle, no lead at all or you will not connect with the clay which reflects the beam back to the gun, it literally travels at the speed of light, faster than a shotgun load. Good luck. D2D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
