Well, what a differance, I've been wearing them to walk the dogs in a morning but today put them on prior to going shooting. Went to shoot a 50 bird, 1st stand dropped 1. 2nd stand over thought it while waiting and missed the first pair. After that only missed one more. Missed out the last...

Yup, mines on annual renewal. I lost my HGV(& PSV) which is why I'm now retired. There are days when I'm not fit to drive (car) but I believe that's common sense so I dont. In the same way if I'm not fit enough to shoot I don't. Fishing too or even walking the dogs. Fortunately my FAO...

4 Superficial,  and at least 2 where guesses☹

Picked up my new single vision distance glasses now. Rain and cold allowing I'll try them Sunday after rememberance parade.

Bought for silly money in a moment of madness when my Granddaughter complained about the recoil. Opened it, only took the top two staples out of the bag. Found it's too big for her jacket and shoulder. Open to offers plus a couple of quid to cover postage,  but I'd like to get at least half my...

I'm no expert, it just sounds like a loose battery, bad connection or similar. Can you strip them down to check or will it damage them. 

Yup, pull the trigger and stop! Too much thinking 

Isn't that why some have it tatooed on the inside of their forearm?

Winston? Yeah, I know, I'll get me coat.......

Bear in mind I'm new to shotguns. Think back to your time in the RE, after shooting, dry it, clean it, lightly oil the working parts and hand to your armoury 😁. When you draw again, prepare for firing in the normal way as if you were on a range day in the Army. Tried trusted methods,  I see...

That may well be why on a simulated driven game, when pairs came as random I cleared the stand and hit a lot that my friends found hard.  "Pull" search the sky,  gun up, no time for further thinking, bang, move to 2nd clay.... I had a few comments on how did you hit that, i didn't even see it...

I'll try that👍

I can't wear contacts more's the pity. I'm very much a baby when it comes to my eyes. I can't abide anyone or anything near my eyes it's my weak spot. Some people dislike spiders or such, with me its eyes, touch my eyes I'll hurt you.  My optician is very good and understands my fear. When I had...

Thanks for the replies, I think I just needed a little encouragement to justify spending "another few pounds" towards my new hobby. I've ordered a prescription distance pair with a grey polarising lens from specsavers budget range for about the cost of a slab and spent a whole .99p on a pair...

Just had a good read at his website, I like the idea of firing 200 - 250 cartridges under instruction and a half or full day to learn. That's got to be better than an hour and 25 clays. As my lad keeps telling me, you can't learn if you're not putting lead in the air.  I'll drop him a text...

Thanks guys, I'm going to have a look at getting some single vision distance and leave my vari's in my bag.  Cheap to try, about the same price as a box of 25 cartridges but last longer.

I've looked through the forum but can't find an answer. I'm new to Clay's and wear vari focal glasses. At first I couldn't focus on the clay as I was trying to aim. My eyes aren't fast enough to refocus short to long. I shot without glasses for a short while and marginally improved. Returing to...

Thanks for the advice, I welcome it all.  I'm considering a couple of mid week lessons and looking round at who's instructing. I'm actually spoilt for choice where i live for the amount of clay grounds offering instruction.  I'm also spoilt for choice on where to shoot as I have 3 clay shoots...

Two of my faults in one sentence! I do keep looking at the end of the barrel at the last split second.....and miss. My son says my follow through is very poor. I'm working on both. I'm also late in shooting as I'm "thinking" it too much.
