fenton88 6 Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Still waiting for the SGC but I want to learn to hit some clays before I go hunting. Could anyone help point me in the right direction for a club in the North East, ideally Sunderland Area? That can hire guns etc. and won't take my eyes out too much; all the websites don't say the price... So I’m guessing its guna be a fair whack Thanks in advance people Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bird 9,872 Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Not in your Area, but a very good place (Shugborough Hall) milford stafford. But if you ask at this place they might know other Area's near you .But regards shooting live and clays, dont forget that, a clay will always be starting to slow down, when its left the the trap.Where as live stuff (bird+rabbit) will gaining speed. If shooting( still) quarry then you will be ok.The thing with shotgun shootin, with moving targets or quarry, is you got to remember to keep gun moving and pull the trigger on the move. And that(trigger on the move is most dont do, most people stop when on the target . Just a couple of tips, ive shot for 30 years, and still miss few lol Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've heard it like driving and it's a good idea to get some lessons with an instructor. Either way it’s going to be a hell of a lot different to my air rifles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Run by a chap called Alan Robson he will help you out. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fenton88 6 Posted December 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) I can imagine mate it's hard enough getting permission for rabbits with air guns.
