I've been clay shooting for a while and I use a lincoln no2 which fits me and I do well with .ive seen a winny light and am thinking of upgrading but I'm wondering about recoil with a light gun ,so if anyone has one or has used a lightweight shotgun for clays ,please advise me ,as I don't wanna spend my money and then regret it cheers Alfie

I've been clay shooting for a while and am thinking of upgrading my shotgun,I currently use a lincoln no 2 ,which fits me and doing ok with it .ive looked at a winny select light and I'm tempted but I'm thinking about the recoil is this gun going to kick like a mule ,I've no experience of lightweight guns ,so if any one uses one or has used one I would appreciate your comments before I spend my hard earnt cash ? I don't want to buy it then wish I hadn't ,thanks

My dog is the same and he's 7 ,he used to jump in the van no probs ,now I gotta put food in ,I think it was when I had my old escort van and I had to slam the back door to get it to shut proper it must of freaked him out ,bloody sensitive collie crosses lol

Can you ask guy int pub if it will make my dog run faster ,johnny .

I used to have 2 Lurchers which is ok if you got the work for them ,I only have the 1now, I suppose it depends on how much time you put into the dogs,I live on my own so I can pretty much do as I please lol

Just take your time pick lots of shotguns up and don't rush into buying one ,I started clay shooting and looked around at different shotguns and ended up buying a silma sporter which is a budget clay gun ,and I realy struggled with it I found it to heavy and clumpy and it knocked my shoulder around a bit ,so I swapped it for a lincoln premier game gun which is a lot lighter and my scores have realy improved I shot 28 outta 5o the other week and the gun feels right for me,it's all about gun fit ,if you rush into it you will end up buying twice and loose money

I've only ever had collie crosses ,I've had 2,3/4 grey 1/4 collies and now run a half x ,my half x is 25 to the shoulder and is a solid dog ,he will run rabbits all nite long ,he's very loyal,was so easy to train never have him on a slip when lamping.but I do find he lacks a bit of speed he's always in the same gear lol he catches a lot of his rabbits as they go in the hedge ,which doesn't bother me,at the end of the day I'm happy with him which is all that matters

My problem is me and my bird lived together for 2years didn't get on to well and she told me to get out .so I found a little flat and moved in ,then 3 months later we got back together and she moved into a house 12 mile away and wanted me to move back in with her ,and I said wat happens if u kick me out again I got nowhere to go,i can't take that chance and it's putting a lot of strain on our relationship
-
I was married for ten year that ended ,then met a few.then thought I'd found the one went great for 2 years till we moved in together it just never felt right and that ended ,still see each other but it's a bit of a off and on relationship more of than on at the moment
