That's something I never understand, do you mean the walking round, the queues or what? I shoot 250 every time I visit a venue. Last week at EESG I did 250 before lunch 250 after. I don't queue, I move on, can always come back and always use buggy. Only time I shoot less is if it's too windy and cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well enjoy my money while I'm still able. Imagine sat in a nursing home thinking back "if only"🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retromlc Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 (edited) I find, personally that 200 clays has an effect on me, ability to concentrate, a 9lb gun gets heavier, fatigue, headache, add cold,wind and a 5am start ,yeah, I get tired. I'd also.dome.a.4 HR enduro on Sunday and clipped a tree so right leg and ball if right shoulder was a little painful. The event ran pretty slick, no waiting at all as we arrived at a stand, previous group were just finishing. I definitely enjoyed it Edited April 28 by retromlc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Age and arthritis caught up with me, a 6lb gun and 21gram cartridges are what I use. I swing a 6lb gun like a 20 year old swings a 9lb gun and still I'm slow. Yet when I let others try my gun they claim it's too fast for them😁 Getting out and enjoying it, is what it's all about, scores are lowest on my priorities.

retromlc Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 Yeah I'm 58, it's a weird gun but I really like it so no plans to change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, age and old injuries have forced me into shooting in 8lbs gun. That 1lb makes a heck of a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retromlc Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 Tbh I don't shoot often and never more than 100, so usually not an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
