Hi Chris Welcome. I'm also a Suffolk boy. I shoot at Lakenheath and High Lodge. Let us know when you get your certificate if you fancy a meet up.

I just checked with my local and they said it was fine. Just to advise them when you get there and as long as its one to one.

I saw one in the flesh on Sunday, and its a lovely looking piece of kit. Congrats on the purchase.

I'm petty sure that's what I paid for mine.

I'm going to pay for a membership very soon as I'm going there more and more. Maybe we could meet up at some point?

Thanks very much. I'd planned to go again this week but this time rather than simply doing a round, spend a bit of time on each one to fully get comfortable with a pre-shot routine, hold points and break points. Fingers crossed!

So far I've been going to High Lodge. I wonder if I need to join a 'club'?

I think that is exactly what I was doing.

Just got back from a round at High Lodge. Things just didn't go very well today. I had a few good stands but it was quite busy and I get put off and totally loose my focus when people are watching me, I then miss a few and feel like a bit of an idiot. On one particular stand, it had an A bird...

Yes that me! We not exactly, but only a couple that shoot and they aren't very good! Bit of a funny one, but how can I find some people to shoot with locally? 34 year old male, Aquarius, based in Suffolk, GSOH, would like to meet like minded people for some clay fun with a shotgun. Owen

I have central vision, so neither is dominant. But the outcome is the same. For a year I used to do use the "Both eyes, One eye, Shoot" approach. Which was fine, but I recently started to put a small frosted spot on my left lens to take that put of the equation, but still allowing full benefit...

Thanks very much Salopian. I'll PM you the details etc. I think it may be helpful to post a final post on this thread once things are sorted to update anyone that may use the Search function in the future.

Thanks all. I'm looking into with who and where I can get her to have a proper try-gun gun fit. This is turning out to be a lot more expensive than I thought it would!!

Unfortunately my local shooting schools don't have try-guns so the plan (as directed by the gunsmith) is to get her to shoot at a pattern board and then take that, the gun and her to see the gunsmith. Part of me though is thinking about just shortening the stock until it is short enough for...

I've actually just contacted my local school to see if they can do this. My predicament is if I take her to see the gunsmith, he might mention the gun I bought 2 weeks ago that the wife knows nothing about!!!

Out of interest, I had her mount the gun a few times today and the gap between her nose and knuckle is 3 1/4".

With regards to stock length, do you think it is ok for me to get her to mount it so I can measure the distance between her nose and knuckle and then take that to the gunsmith and ask him to lop enough off to bring it to the right length? Or does he actually NEED to see her with it?

I went for the Browning B525 Game 1 with 28" barrels. When I picked it up, it felt quite light at the front so I thought it would be easier to balance with part of the stock off. Now I just need to give it to her and hope I don't get a b*ll*cking for spending some money, and then get it...

Another local shop has a 2nd hand Beretta Silver Pigeon Universal Sporter. I wonder if this could be good as the front end would be a bit lighter. I didn't really want to go for a Beretta as I own Brownings, but it could be good.

Thanks all. I'm going to try and sort this tomorrow. The shop has the Hunter and Sporter version in so will have a look at both, but I think the Hunter may be the better option.
