Was finally time to grab the bull by the horns and get out and try some proper sporting. All a bit new to me! So I went along to the Shotgun and Chelsea Bun Club shoot at Sporting Targets, Risely today. Some crazy targets that everyone struggled with and a few that annoyed me as they should...

I've mainly been shooting skeet and a little simple sporting stuff recently. But I didn't have anyone with me to button today, so some nice chaps invited me to have a go at DTL with them. Rather enjoyed myself, stuck with first barrel only for a start to give me chance to reflect on my misses...

That old chestnut... and it's bugging me - one eye or both? Everyone keeps saying both eyes open for better speed/depth perception. But I've been trying a bit of both and it seems that some targets are just better for me with one eye shut. I'm right eyed and left handed - and I shoot from the...

Been out again today and 2 targets I am consistently struggling with are high stand 2 and low stand 6. The others, while far from perfect I'm hitting a lot more than I'm missing. So, any advice on hold point and lead required would be great.  I know it's hard over the net...

After a bit of a debacle of my licence going missing in the post and another having to be sent out, it finally arrived on the 1st... (having been issued on the 15th Aug). Our wonderful postal service... So I collected my shotgun yesterday and have been practicing on the skeet layout. I've hit a...

Concentrated on 4 different targets on the practice stand today at Cambridge Gun Club with another 50 shots - 2nd time I've been there and really enjoyed it, other than the torrential rain and wind! We did get a bit wet, even though the stand is covered. Today was the second time I've ever been...

I have a load of cartridges but they are too heavy for clays and I have no intention of shooting game. All have been dry stored inside the house. The Proper ones are in their boxes and the Gamebore ones are loose I've got 2 types: 200 off Gamebore Clear Pigeon - 12g 70mm 30g #6 Plastic Wad...

I'm basically a complete newbie to clay shooting, having had one practice session of 50 shots at 50 clays and managing to hit about 30%. I've been shooting air pistol and rifle for 20+ years on and off - but obviously that's totally different. I've got some more tuition kinda lined up, just...

Hi everyone, I'm Sera, based on the Norfolk/Cambs boarder and I am just starting out clay shooting. Had my first go Wednesday with some tuition and managed to hit about 25-30% out of the 50 clays I had on the sporting practice traps. I am just waiting for my licence to finally come through...
