Nick_MSM Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Had my first taste of clay shooting on Saturday - it was my first shotgun experience (previous airsoft and airgun so nothing similar!) and a 30 min taster session on gun fit, stance, safety etc ending in a quick clay shoot. I managed to hit all 10, although imagine it was part beginners luck, choke possibly open and clays closer than normal?! Anyway its given me the bug, so I am going to book in at my local gun club for a couple of extra sessions before deciding if I'll apply for my license and purchase my own gun etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sussex gardener Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Hi Nick, I imagine that you must be pretty good after 7 lessons! I'm not much into clays, but being new to the area may give Southtown a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where have you moved from? I was in the Cotswolds for a year, before that 10 years in France, and before that Cornwall. Would be good to meet up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
