petersclan Posted February 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 i am quite new to clay shooting and visited my local school today with my trusty 73 cartridges and used 54 clays (very good i was too) not! but was good fun but was over far too quick....... less than a hour and was over? do you make your visits to clay school last longer and if so how?

Pirate Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 hiya, just out of interest, how many carts do you fire on each outing to the clay school? Hi fella: Is this outing, a lesson at the clay school, or just a general shoot? Pirate: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chard Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 (edited) i am quite new to clay shooting and visited my local school today with my trusty 73 cartridges and used 54 clays (very good i was too) not! but was good fun but was over far too quick....... less than a hour and was over? do you make your visits to clay school last longer and if so how? Once you get going, you'll find that you'll end up in a mob of like-minded riff-raff :blink: :blink: :blink: When you go round in a group of 4 or 6 or whatever, it makes it last much longer, waiting for the others to shoot and all the wind-up and banter. I know what you mean though, if there's only one or two of you shooting, it doesn't really seem like you're getting value for money. 100 clays today lasted well over two hours (that was only 4 of us), plus all the blather and coffee afterwards, makes a good afternoon of it Edited February 2, 2008 by Chard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petersclan Posted February 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 me and the good wife where alone and not a lesson just went down for a bit of fun really, can see what you are saying though, if went in a group would drag time out a bit and make a good afternoon, unfortunatly at mo we go alone due to not knowing anyone else local into shooting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Sam Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Only 50 last time, but I am waiting on the SGC so I buy by the trailer load :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petersclan Posted February 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 unlike rough shooting, i find that i just get carried away with clays.........but because not good at em always try a second shot if miss first but still miss. i know my error and that is not giving enough lead on the clay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
me and my lad Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 upwards of 100, can be over 200 if the wife shoots as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petersclan Posted February 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 upwards of 100, can be over 200 if the wife shoots as well average of 100 so far, any more input? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu S Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Usually do 100 bird sporting, so usually around 100 - 105 then. Skeet sometimes do four rounds, so again 100 - 105. Practice - anything from 25 up to 150. Blimey, thats a hell of a lot of cartridges at £40 per 250!! Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamC Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Typically shoot between 50 and 100 every week at a local shoot. One is a 50 bird that I sometimes do twice, the other is a 70 bird, but never done that twice as it is too much of a rush. Hoping that with the lighter evenings and an auto clay trap the old man and I can get a bit of cheap evening fun in mid week to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 I am not sure how many I use on each visit although most shoots I do are 50birders. I fired in excess of 10,000 cartridges last year and possibly 2500 .22 rimfire rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Bear Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 100 Once a week Boom, boom, boom, boom That should read - Boom, boom, miss, boom, boom, miss, boom or in my case - Boom, boom, miss, miss, miss, boom, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Spud_ Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 If I have had a stressful week at work, it would normally be 200, but if it’s just a normal few days it would be around 100 / 150. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the last engineer Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 a hell of a lot more than a 100, traveling as far as we do makes it worthwhile filling the truck up Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazkb Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 well as the wife shoots as well we can do 250 a time but it gets a bit expensive and tiring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
