Clay pigeon shooting

[Howard H]

After a 2 year lay off I have dragged my old gun out of its secure storage and decided I will go and try and shoot some clays . It’s not the best of days as it’s pouring down (making excuses all ready ) but will give it a go . Any one else on here does a bit of clay shooting ?. I am fairly sure no clays will be harmed in this session ?

I used to do a fair bit but sold all my guns a few years ago anticipating our move to France.
They seem to enjoy shooting real animals more over here, something I am not keen to get involved in.

I am the same not my cup of tea but each to their own I guess ?

 

[Janine]

I used to love shooting clays!

I went through a phase of small arms shooting too - everything from .22 and 38 specials to sterling submachine guns.

Sometimes my height - or lack of - handicapped me. Skeets would whizz past me below my line of sight if there was scrubland in the way ??

I would love to shoot a sub machine gun Janine but I think my local gun club might have something to say lol ,I had enough trouble with multi cartridge autos ?

They only let me fire single rounds but it was still a buzz ?

44 Magnum was awesome too although someone stood behind me to catch me when the recoil sent me staggering backwards!

We went to the USA a while ago visiting friends and was taken out to do a bit of shooting. The back of the van was like an arms dealers catalogue. We shot everything from .22 pistols, shotguns, sniper and assault rifles and a fantastically scary S&W .500 Magnum.
my arms still ache!

We both took it up about six or seven years ago but haven’t been for nearly two years. It’s a bit of a trek to the better of the two available grounds. Still got the guns and keep saying we must go as we enjoy it when we get there.
I have an MK70 and Liz has a Silver Pidgeon.
I bet we wouldn’t hit much now after such a long layoff.
Wonder if its legal to have a gun cabinet in your motorhome, a light weight one.

I went a few weeks back 1st time in a while, dusted off the 12 gauge and off I went
Had 100 clays don't think I hit 25 absolutely appalling obviously I need to go more often ???

 

[Neil Bedwin]

Used to have a friend who ran the police range so one day I brought my Martini-Henry along. It was fun shooting a .450, can't imagine what it was like at Rorke's Drift! The SMLE was tame by comparison.

Did shoot clays in the UK before I hopped to the Middle East for 15 years. That was fun but took most of the day.....and I wasn't very good.

I used to clay shoot, wasn’t ever going to win any competitions.

Also used to rough shoot on a dairy farm for rabbit and the usual vermin.
That used to be a good day out wandering around the countryside ?

Its amazing how soon you loose your “eye “ practice is definitely the way forward ?

 

[DuxDeluxe]

I like clay pigeon shooting. It means that you aren’t shooting ducks......

 

[BreweryDave]

I used to go to a few clay shoots in a previous life, always struck me as odd the guys dressed up in camo gear ??

what were they hiding from?................?

 

[Daz6175]

Spent my formative years from fourteen onwards spending my Sunday mornings loading clays, surprised I've still got any fingers left.
