I remember when a 25bird DTL practice on a Thursday evening was £2.50 and a box of cartridges was £2.50... so a good few hours out was £10......just saying 😁

Totally 100% agree 👍..........And not having your finger on the trigger when it has no reason to be there......🤔

Anyone clay or game who has there finger on the trigger opening or closing a gun needs to have a good think about it...... 🤔 widget

I have no idea if this is true as I was never a sporting shooter but I have no reason to disbelieve you.....I no longer shoot clay I am only involved in game shooting so these days my safety protocol is all about "not shooting beaters in front" the thing is with ALL clay disciplines the safe...

Good point sir 👍 One could argue that if new clay shooters are taught good muzzle awareness and safe trigger finger position then if they transition to game shooting they will have a safe grounding because I can tell you that the level of safe gun handling on many game days is questionable to...

Not posed, another library picture of a few years ago on a driven day.....finger off the trigger even on an open gun.....not meaning to be argumentative but why would anyone not advocate not touching the trigger until your mounted....muzzle awareness very very important I totally agree BUT belt...

Um, personally I see no particular correlation between body size or build re barrell length. I know folk who are shorter than average and prefer longer barrels and some the exact opposite. I shoot a 30" trap gun but use a 26" game gun......dont get hung up on barrel length its all about the...

Brilliant 👍

Haha And Err, no... but for the type of shooting I now do if I could only have one it would be the SxS 👍
