squodged Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Hi all, the names Chris. I come from Shepshed and am a member of Hoton Clay club. I've been shooting for about 5 months after having a go with a elder relatives lovely Beretta 686. I shoot a Beretta 682 12g Gold 29 1/2 barrel with an adjustable comb. Teague Ported Chokes 1/4 1/4 Briley Extended 1/2 3/4. For sporting clays. I've no idea what year it is. (If someone could advise me I'd be most appreciative). I've fed it everything from Diana 7.5s, D&G 7.5s & 9s, Gambore White Gold XLR 8s and Eley first 9s but my favorite are Gambore Blue Diamond 9s. It's as gentle as a lamb on the shoulder. And i've shot a 100 bird sporting and a few 50's without any pain. My first unsuccessful purchase was a Miroku 12G MK60 30 inch Grade1 Game F/C 1/4 3/4. but it used to kick me like a mule and slip after firing and give me a bruise on my bicep, so I chopped it. The trigger creep on this particular example also used to do my head in, and many birds were missed as a result. Would love to have a go at live pigeon shooting but at the as of yet the opportunity hasn't arised. I've joined this forum to hopefully gain some valuable information aswell as hints and tips, and if the opportunity arises give a few views and opinions of my own. Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
