Tried a 425 last week 66 30 inch barrels choke was 1/2..1/2 

it was a nice gun bit heavy but good for absorbing the recoil 
it suited me quite well and I enjoyed shooting it 

I also tried a benellie black? Something semi auto very easy to shoot and got on well with it so for a clay gun a good option 

though not to my taste as I’m not a lover of plastic stocks 

Wednesday 

tried A 687 Beretta at a small shoot 39 /50 this gun was light and easy to shoot no recoil and pattered well with the cylinder and quarter there was nothing very difficult  in the targets the afternoon was a warm up for the beaters 

Friday shot with my game gun side by side 72 struggle on some stands as they were the wrong way around for the chokes but did okay 

today a bit damp 

shot with a different 725 32 inch barrel and chokes 1/4..1/4 scored 66 another nice gun and very good for the longer stuff anyway that’s got you up to speed and I’ll keep you posted 

all the best

My wife always thought I had too many guns!

They all think that, but try telling them that they've got too many dresses, shoes, handbags etc etc and that's different ???

Doesn't really go with Tweed, does it?

No but he does have some nice game guns.

I would like to experience a European pheasant and partridge shoot,  where they walk up with dogs and nice semi autos.

I have noticed in the last decade more and more clay guns being used, on a few shoots more semi autos too. Less tween and more modern fabrics in plain greens and browns

It’s changing times I’m afraid 

if you think there’s prejudice towards semi autos on a game day 

try going to a clay shoot in tweed 🙄😊

I agree with the changing clothing the green or brown modern fabric is taking over 

so saying i wore one yesterday and managed to stay dry and shoot well in it

You look great in your Tweed, clay shooting or not!

The shoe flap is really a trap thing for when you are not shooting from a cage.
