redial Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 Hi, A round of clays will become a luxury. Thinking about an air pistol to fill in the gaps. Fancy a springer. Is there anything that comes close to a HW these days. Thanks for any advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wharf Rat Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 HW45. If you have trouble with sighting, fit a red dot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaz25 Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) Go vintage and classic then the options open up to Gamo Webley BSA etc I have a BSA 240 magnum I've had the scorpion pretty much every Webley, Walther LP mod 3 still have that one there all pretty good my fav's are the black star Mod3 240 magnum and a Webley nemesis hence why I still have them.

Well we have a few but the city ran one is in the park, it’s much cheaper then private ones. All the old men gather in the mornings there. There is a pond separating the children play ground from the rifle/clay range. It’s about a 100 acres, with rental canoes, disk golf, bbq grills. It’s really nice to be city ran. But why do you have to give it up, I see old men in their 90s busting clays. Edited May 2, 2021 by NoBodyImportant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 At a guess I'd say cost is the deciding factor. A round of 100 clays with carts in the UK is usually more than £50.00 without costing fuel and other costs. Airguns a tin of 500 top brand pellets around £11.00 targets a few pounds if you buy them, or free if use old boxes of cereals etc. On a pension with low interest rates so any invested money is making next to nothing.

redial Posted May 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 I still intend having the odd round of clays. Just not as many. Air pistol or even rifle to fill in between. Figgy is spot on with his maths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
