Ice Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Hi, im new to the world of shotgun shooting, currently waiting for my application to be processed, upon reciving my application i have already aranged land to shoot, around 600 acres in total, just through friends and people a know really, i have been a keen air rifle shooter for around 3 years probably racked up around 600 rabits and countless pigeons. thought i would try my hand at a shotgun to see if i can master the moving target sport, so have been going to Preshaffed (not sure exactly how to spell) estate on anglesey for the last 6 weeks or so and have cought the bug. (bloody addictive like). the instructor says im a natural as every week i hit 40+ out of 50 targets! (i think its beginers luck myself, but fingers crossed anyway) i have sent my application to north wales firearms dept monday last week only to have it returned to me as i (dont laugh) forgot to sign it (what a plank i know). Anyway safe is fixed to the wall and deffinatly not going anywhere so in the mean time i will continue to clay shoot as i wait for it to come through! Once i have recived the certificate, i would be interested to know if there are any members in the North Wales area, especially Anglesey who would be interested in teaching me some tips / methods which work. Look forward to responses Ice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
