Hi folks. Just by way of an introduction I have decided to give clay shooting a go and I am a little way down the training route. I decided to give it a go as a friend introduced me to it and I can still remember the invigorated feeling I had when I stepped out of the stand with a huge smile from ear to ear, mind you that was several years ago. I am a fairly mature shooter (58) and late to the hobby but have decided to get involved at a very low level and just try to enjoy the odd Sunday Morning shoot with a cup of tea and sausage sandwich. I have joined a club and am currently on my 4th lesson. I have enjoyed it so much I applied for my certificate 6 months ago and today I received it from the visiting FLO. I have over the last couple of weeks been looking at different starter guns and reading all sorts of details and now my head hurts 
. Rightly or wrongly I had a set budget and settled on a gun that I am happy with and picked it up today so until my next lesson which is on the 14th of this month I cannot comment further on it. I guess I will be spending a lot of time in the Beginners forum asking lots of questions and trying to soak up all the information from differing opinions. Well I guess that covers it, so hi to you all and I look forward to learning lots.......

I personally like the tea and sausage sandwich route too . In a few years when you pack work in you will find that you can plot up anywhere from Tuesday to Friday as well , and meet dozens of likeminded folk ambling about , potting a few clays, drinking tea and generally having a nice time whilst the unlucky ones keep the wheels of the economy turning !
