bigmac 97kt 13,787 Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 My daughter has terminal cancer not going into it much But she has all ways wanted to shoot a shot gun so at the moment im trying to sort it out for her iv sent si a tx to see if he would come up with henrys over and under 410 and im trying to get sean to sort the range out for her to go there on the clays , the trouble is she is not well at the moment and can only be when she feels fit enough witch is not often at the moment . Do you think a 410 will be ok for her as i dont want some thing that will shock her and will hurt her as some do us lol and i need it to be a suprise for her to this is going to be a hard one lads not only to put together but emotionally as well just some thing i want to do for her some thing she can tick off her bucket list , thanks lads she is 35yrs old atvbjimmy 5 Quote Link to post
Stavross 15,610 Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 I would of said .410 would be the best bet, followed by 28 bore, I hope you can make this happen for her and that she’s well enough to enjoy the experience, creating another happy memory for you both at a very sad time best wishes stav 6 Quote Link to post

Sausagedog 7,381 Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 Thank you for telling us about this. Very difficult times. My heart goes out to you both. Sure as said. A 410 won't be a shock but you may want to consider some gentle slow clays. Maybe hand thrown even. And please if agreeable, take some photos for us all to enjoy. 1 Quote Link to post

BenBhoy 4,706 Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 Jimmy, Good luck in making this happen mate, really hope you can achieve it as a memory that will last. If she never shot before then any clay with little 410 gonna be tricky to hit. If it's so she can say "yeah I shot that" might be an idea to set up something along the lines of practical shotgun, even as simple as bottles of fizzed up pop, its just fun setting them explode when you pull trigger. Genuinely wishing you all the best thoughts. 2 Quote Link to post
philpot 4,992 Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Don't worry Jimmy I will get the info on the grounds we spoke about over the next few days and sort a plan. I will also have a look nearer to your home as well mate. I think I will borrow a 28 gauge from the rfd so to have an alternative gun. Trish is coming as well so Natalie will not be the only female.
