After an hour of ringing around, i managed to get hold of the officer. He was very pleasant and exceptionally helpful in every way. He is making some adjustments to visit tomorrow, as we are all there. Fingers crossed all goes well, and i can start looking for my first gun. Happy days :)...

Hi all, We... thats my oldest lad, youngest lad and myself have all applied for our shotgun licence at the same time 5 weeks ago. A firearms officer called on the phone today whilst i was out, but my youngest lad managed to have a quick word. The officer said it would be better if all 3 of us...

Thankyou for this thread. I can now go out and practise without worrying too much :cool:

Hi Ben, although the wind did pickup a bit, the day turned out just fine. John has a lot of patience, specially for someone completely new like myself, and very helpful in many ways. Prior to setting foot on the farm today, i had previously shot at the most 250-300 cartridges at other various...

Thanks for all the replies :) There is a lot more to clay shooting than i original thought. Just got back from Doveridge, missing it already, god this is addictive...

Complete newbie and very curious :) When i start enjoying something, i tend to read a lot and in turn confuse myself with too much info. It is always good to have a good understanding and an outline of a sport you like playing, without getting too much into depth ofcourse :)

1. How many different associations and federations are there in clay shooting ? 2. and what are there purposes in the sport ? 3. what is the difference between Sporting and trap ? Maybe these are very silly questions ?

Thanks for the welcome guys, im warm and fuzzy all over now ., and Jon, yes very addictive, Josh played young guns 10am this morning at Doveridge, woke me up at 7am :( He smoked all but 1, very proud of him. Eldest son Jordan tagged along, and managed to get him to play, this could be very...
