Toby Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Hi, I'd like to start clay shooting and then maybe go on to shooting game once i'm hitting most of them. I was wondering if I should get me own gun aASAP or not? Bear in mind that I am only 15 but my parents i'm sure would ebe alright with it. My local shooting ground (were i shoot air guns) (broomhills) charges £50 for a lesson including 25 clays and cartridges. Is this a good price to pay? Obviosly I cant shoot without an instructor untill I have a licsence, How easy are they to get at my age (15) and will I be able to get a gun? Is it easyer to get any particular type of shot gun? (apart from a toy one :blink: ) I know its lots of questions but I look fore ward to hearing from you guys! Thanks, Toby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmsy Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 as for lessons price can be anything from a few ££ to £100 an hour. make sure you ask what sort of experience the coach has. there are a lot of so called coaches out there that couldnt hit a barn door at 50 paces. choose wisely !!

Guest The Outlaw Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Hello mate, I know Phil and Dave at Broomhills and they are quite good, You should also check out the Pirate on here he is a top coach/mini bus :blink: , He has a shooting ground in Milton Keynes and also has links with Lee Leisure at Junction 12 of the M1. They all have cracking reputations and are on your turf. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby Posted December 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Thanks, all great info! my dad is happy to go (altho the novelty may wear off for him) So is it best to not get a gun for a while? obviosly I'm only 15 but I'v got a good income from a couple of different jobs. I thinks its £10 to hire a gun at broomhills and if i'm gonna be doing much then I would rather pay the lump sum and have something to show for my money. It would realy help to know how early to ask for the gun because it will obviosly effect what I do with my money between now and then. Thanks again and look foreward to hearing from you!

Guest The Outlaw Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Let us know how you get on Toby, just remember dont waste your money on a lesson. Go for a clay shooting experience instead, You will have more fun than having a lesson. Leave the lessons for when you know if you like it or not. If you speak to Phil at Broomhills and tell him you have spoken to Tall Tony from Lou's Drayton Parslow shoot and what I suggested he will know what I mean, I think Dave is hospital at the moment and he knows me very well Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
