Dano0404 Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Doing exactly the same to day. Have a feeling I'll miss every thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingo15 Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Just enjoy it and most importantly be safe. Don't feel pressured into moving on from a stand just because there is a few people behind you. But don't take the pee by spending half an hour on there haha. Have a go at everything don't be put off just cause you think it looks difficult. Let us know how you get on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budice Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Enjoy yourself, don't stress over missed targets, we all miss (particularly me). Watch others as well on the stand on front of you. I'm also sure there will be people there with lots of advice for you too, some good, some bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_Roo Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Got 35 out of 70 to day That's good for a 'first' outing! I remember my very first proper sporting day out.... Think it was around 20 from 100 but I had a great day from memory. As long as you enjoyed your day, stayed safe and left with a sense of wanting to do it all again then it was a success! Many many more days out to be had in sure 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingo15 Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 That's good for a first outing. I shoot occasionally with some guys that have been shooting for years that would be happy with that. Just keep going out and keep enjoying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
