Jacko3275 Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 Is open this weekend online booking only from what I’ve read Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTaylor91 Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) I’ve booked in for the 10th for an hour in the morning. You pre pay 100 clays per hour at the usual member/non member rate. Max 2 hours at a time. I won’t of been since November so I expect to use 200 cartridges. Edited June 5, 2020 by JTaylor91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centrepin Posted June 6, 2020 Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 I saw it was, but don't fancy the pre pay, pre book as my circumstances can change rapidly. I'll leave it till I can just drop in. Sunday morning at Sycamore will do me on clays for now. Last two Sundays have been really quiet compared to the crowds I thought would turn up.

I though the same about pre-pay, so went to Doveridge instead, which was fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTaylor91 Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 Had to move my original booking from the 10th to yesterday which they were fine with. There was only 3 other people there so no queuing and no worrying about sticking to the 1 hour slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer to press as normal, it speeds me up, no waiting, less thinking and more action. That's just me and I'm sure you'll get your own take on it after 1 stand.

I liked the foot pedals at Doveridge last week, solved both issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, unless you are learning to shoot or a competitive clay shot. The mount is a key part of the swing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Best Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 I fail to see how having a pre-mounted gun is learning to shoot. It is teaching you to hit a target and kidding yourself you can then shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkedUp Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 It’s teaching you what a properly mounted gun should feel like when shouldered and shot. I’ve seen some pretty nasty bruising on full grown men when they’ve mismounted a 12 bore, men who have shot for years. You have to give people some confidence. You don’r teach a child to ride a bike by just giving them a bike. Pre-mounting is the stabiliser that helps new shots learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that pre mounting does not help your live shooting. Edited June 21, 2020 by London Best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont say things like that you`ll upset a lot of new clay shots who have been taught nothing else and in many cases paid a fair bit of cash for it!! Totally agree with your point of view ,it`s a disgrace to shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Best Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 The problem comes when they want to try their first day’s game shooting and want/need to try and shoot like that. I see it more and more often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matone Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 There`s ££ to be made getting newcomers to hit clays quickly and nowadays people want rapid self gratification,that is the driving force for it all ! Gun up should only be allowed for trap shooting disciplines imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Best Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 Personally, I have never tried to shoot ‘gun up’. I can’t imagine I would hit a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we are talking clays and why do pros in competition shoot gun up on less it’s fitasc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
