Hi all,
So I've posted up before about gun storage, today I went down Chalky Hill shooting to get some practice in. I met with Duncan who let me hire a gun, I did 2x50 bird shoots and loved every shot!
Some of the stands I nailed them getting 4/4 or 6/6 others, could not hit a barn door. Although I got better in the second round, this was my 3rd outing I was getting around 25 ish per round of 50. So 50% hit ratio on average, quite pleased with this.
So two main questions points:
1) I tend to shoot one eye closed, I'm right handed and I was closing my left eye. But general advice was I should shoot both eyes open, I plan to do this next time. Thoughts?
2) I was given a loan gun of a 686 Beretta, which had 28" barrel. I'm 6ft5, I've been advised before I should look at 30"? - Will it make *that* much of a difference?
Oh and thanks to all chaps at Chalky Hill, very warm welcome by all there.
Cheers
