London Best Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 I did a simulated day once as a guest. It was OK, but I definitely wouldn’t pay to do it again. It was OK, but to me, nothing like a driven game day. But I’m a game shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmboy91 Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 After reading the thread I've had a look at these as a treat for me and the missus next year. Prices seem to vary quite a bit, is there one in Suffolk/Essex anyone can particularly recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are excellent. They really know their stuff. They also do a flush day which is all clays, no hospitality. But the sim days are great fun.

Robertt Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) Do one every summer. As stated a hand guard for a S xS is a must. There was no clays that couldn't be broke with 21g. I usually use 250 - 300 cartridges. Excellent fun. Edited December 31, 2019 by Robertt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibble Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 According to Dan"BarrelBlacker" Bromley AYA ribs are Brazed not Soldered so don't lift. I've shot a few flushes with an AYA non-ejector which slows you a bit but the handeling is perfect. It does get very hot and hard to open. You fire 25 shots in a few minutes. It seems far worse on hot days. We have had problems with Benilli 828, Beretta Parrallelo and my sons Baikal , the Baikals ejectors started working again the other two ended going back to the importer. We shoot Eley Select 24g or Hull CompX21g, less recoil and easier to pick up the second clay. I find it very addictive sometimes you pull off the most spectacular left-and-right ,sometimes you hear the traps go and you just manage to get loaded in time to pick off a tail ender ,sometimes you just watch the clays fly past and can do nothing. I couldn't afford a Driven day that intense, certainly not paying for my son as well and I've not shot a sim drive with the traps at full speed yet.

Old farrier Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 I’ve shot a fair few of these days over the years (none recently so can’t recommend one) there great fun and after the first drive when you realise you’re better off shooting at your neighbours clay even more fun Shooting at the bits of clay as well yes you guns get a bit hot and chambers get dirty so take a cleaning kit to give it a bit of a clean after each drive went with a team to gorcombe in Dorset and broke the record for shots fired on the day wear a glove and have big pockets for the cartridges have a good time 😊👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehb102 Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 Usually on a SIM day they run the drives twice and you load for each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Best Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 All these posts just reinforce my view that these days are NOTHING like a driven game day. I am not saying they are not fun, but simulated driven day is a misnomer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just a title for the day 😊 there a lot of fun and a light hearted way of loosing off a few cartridges you could if you had a like minded team just pick your birds and let lots go by it would be more like a driven game day there popular because it’s fun and a lot of people rarely get the chance of firing that many cartridges in a day or the opportunity to go on a proper driven day and by proper I mean a guest double guns no bag limit and no bill as apposed to a corporate pay day knowing how many are going to be in the bag that you are paying for On 31/12/2019 at 00:04, Farmboy91 said: I did come across that one while having a quick browse, be interested to know what you think after your day, can't be first hand info 👍 If you’re fancying a day and you’re looking at making up a team I’m up for it 👍😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesj Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 You'll have a good time. I help out at one, 8 guns get somewhere around 3 too 4 thousand clays over them by clay ground prices its expensive, but when you add breakfast and dinner its not a bad day out for the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
