simulated game days 

 

I have been on simulated days. 
I prefer to call them “make believe days”. 
They are merely an excuse to fire 500  cartridges as fast as possible. 
I am not saying they are not fun, but anyone who thinks they remotely resemble game shooting is deluded.

ps: I am a hypocrite because I attend them as a guest but no way would I pay to do it.

Yes great fun, but not like the real thing.  :no:

Of course the real game is shooting your neighbours "birds" as they are lining up on them!   :cool1:

Problem is, most beginners now come into the sport through clay shooting. 
Then, when they fancy a go at driven game shooting somebody might suggest they try a “simulated day” before tackling the real thing. 
The poor beginner may then think that is what happens when game shooting, 5/600 shots as fast as possible and try to shoot your neighbours birds. He is likely to be disappointed in how much shooting he actually gets, or worse, gain a bad reputation.

Yes. There's a lot of truth in this.

Oh you cad - but after a while it becomes quite addictive don’t you think ? Extra points if you drop the bird stone dead at the next pegs feat. Followed with a “would you mind grabbing that one for me ?”

another fun one - we were walking between drives on an end of season tidy up day ! We were having a quickest gun to blast the pheasant !

it helps if it’s your dog that flushes the bird and you can read her like a book 😎
