Happyhunter Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Hi all. I started shooting at the age of 12 with a 410 s/b/s by the age of 14 I progresed to a 12b s/b/s. Shooting mainly rabbits pigeon and corvids. When I was 18 I left Scotland for Sothern Ireland and I'm still here at the age of 27. 4 months ago I apllied for a shotgun licence which I'm happy to say was granted only three weeks later. I got a 1979 AYA yeoman s/b/s , in amaculate condition and choked 1/2 and full. Its the first gun I have owned myself the two previous were my farthers. I am delighted with it. It fits will and i'm doing very well with it. A budy of mine is on the comitee of a local clay club and asked me to come along one day for a try. So I did. Having never shot at "pretend " birds before I didn't know what to expect. In the end I had a great day and payed the membership fee. There were a few sniggers and mumbles as I took my side by side out its slip. but after scoring 32 on my first ever go at DTL out of a possible 45 the sniggers ceased. although I feel I shot well with my AYA I don't think it is up to the job in regards of firing 150 rounds a day. I'm looking to invest in a second gun for clays. My budjet is about 700 euro which is about £500. I want a good reliable gun which I can also use for pigeon. Any advice would be much aprieciated. What make? Multichokes? 28" or 30" barrels? this type of shooting is all new to me. HELP!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08shooter Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 try for a miroku browning or beretta 2nd hand or if you want a bettinsoli sporter in my opinion is a great little gun for around that kind of money. main thing is to get one that fits you. any of the first 3 will no doubt fired a lot of shells whereas the betty will be new your decision. all the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
