Salop Matt Posted May 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 14 views and no posts ! If it makes any difference i used to shoot a Miruku and now shoot a beretta ! someone once said that the miruku is a flat shooting gun and that berettas tend to shoot higher !

Ferret Master Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 When exactly did you change over to the Beretta? FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webber Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 I suggest that you book a lesson with a decent coach. He should soon spot where you are going wrong. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salop Matt Posted May 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Cheers webber, am glad someone replyed. I changed in febuary to the beretta. Iv thought about the coatch, but was a little ashamed / embarassed about it having been able to shoot far better previously ! Can anyone tell me what to expect to pay for an hour or twos coaching ? (just the coatching as i have my own gun and carts and would pay for the clays a a normall 50 / 60 sporting shoot) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taff Mason Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 (edited) yesterday i payed £50 but that was for an hours lesson with gun an kit hire not carts Edited May 7, 2008 by Taff Mason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caragh Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 I know this is probably not what you want to hear but people who shoot well with either a Miroku/Browning tend to struggle with a Beretta and also the reverse is true. Most people tend to be a Browning man/woman or a Beretta man/woman. Aynway hope you get sorted, good luck. regards Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beretta Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 depends where you go for your coaching. can be anything from £25 upwards. per hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chard Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 (edited) I bet you're doing what I did :good: When I started clay shooting, I got fairly OK at it quite quickly, then settled into a rut, where I couldn't improve and actually seemed to go backwards slightly. I think what tends to happen is that we have faults with our shooting, often minor, but if they're not identified, we just keep doing the same thing. When we have a practice round of clays, all we're really doing is practicing our mistakes and getting better at making them :lol: I think you either need help from a coach, but if you're unsure about the expense, which I was, and still am, you should try and go round with shots who are better than you, it'll raise your game and even little throwaway comments and snippets of advice that they give you, will improve your shooting gradually (as long as you listen ) Every time you identify a problem with your shooting (can't hit crossers or rabbits etc) work on it specifically, ask their advice and you'll pick away at your faults. Don't be afraid to ask other shooters for help, most are only too happy to offer advice Edited May 7, 2008 by Chard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
