Gordon R Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Graham seems to have done well. Post a provocative item - sit back and watch out for some horror stories. He seems to have gone a little quiet. Come on Graham - speak up or are you just an anti without the courage to declare it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandyke Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 So can you carry a loaded but broken O/U between stands? Why would you want to do such a thing? Your gun should only ever be loaded in the cage and pointed down range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Oh dear someone else who can't read. The post I quoted said that O/U's can be broken and carried between stands and AUTO'S must be unloaded at all times. It was a tongue in cheek comment and I have no desire to carry a gun betweens stands loaded. I do not need preaching to about gun safety thank you, I am perfectly aware of when my gun should be loaded or unloaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George1990 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Gotta say though that goggles or whatever are a waste of time unless you're using them to make the bird stand out more. The rest is elementary (isn't it?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chard Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 So absolutely no chance of safety glasses stopping anything hitting you in the eye then? I don't wear glasses, because I don't like them, but I know I'm being stupid. I've been hit 3 times on the head by broken clays, all drawing blood. Once on the bridge of the nose , one on the face, about 2 inches below the eye and once on the top of my head (I was looking down at the time).

MC Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Chard, I don't wear them either unless I have to or the sun is bright. I was merely making another sarcastic comment (which doesn't really work on a forum) about the statement abouot them being a complete waste of time.

Markio Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 I wear them, dark red all the time. Even on over cast days like today i still find the sky quite bright to look into so it's more relaxing on my eyes to have teh darker shade on all the time. And of course i there's the safety aspect.

I was just supporting your comment with an observation that glasses do have a place in clay shooting if you're a jolly sensible chap (unlike me, and it seems, you as well ) I thought you wore glasses at the Essex Masters . Perhaps you'd been on the lash and had panda eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George1990 Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Well, of course they will stop if going in your eye if it's going for your eye. But not once on a shoot has there been a remote chance of a piece of clay hitting me. I probably should wear em though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George1990 Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Because I never hit em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
