Yep..fully agree....when I said Autos were Not for me, its because I would be too concerned that I could easily make a mistake with one. I have the safety protocol with an O/U to almost 2nd nature, but throwing another different one into the mix might lead to me making a mistake, I have nothing against Auto's in principle in the right hands...just not sure my hands would be... Now if I had started off and had my lessons with an Auto it would probably be the other way around, but it isn't I'm afraid, so I have decided to stick with an O/U.

Well Clayclouter...in Helice we come together from all walks of shooting life to enjoy it.....in fact if you are following the ISSF World Cup in Granada you will see (shooting for USA in the men's skeet) a Junior called TJ Bayer. He left us on Monday in Portugal to head straight to Granada for the OSK event. His practice before hand.......HELICE...! He was 2nd in the World Championships and 2nd in the Junior World Championship....lost to our Nathan after a shoot off including high 5's. Great sportsmanship between the two of them. I hope he does well in Granada.
And reply to someone else who pointed out earlier...............Yes....we have a lot of autos at Helice....but then we are mano a mano out down a runway....so no distraction to anyone.....!
All maner of carrying autos displayed.....but no muppets here.....they all know how to deal with their guns :laugh: .

I honestly did not know that an auto is a popular gun for Helice, I could understand the benefit of shooting one when you were shooting heavier loads though.
Just think you could become a World Champion, if you are good enough, with a £1000 gun, brilliant.

This has gone way way off topic ...... A sensible question was asked which I to had an interest in but know I,ve lost the plot
"Just think you could become a World Champion, if you are good enough, with a £1000 gun, brilliant."
Duncan Lawton has won two World Fitasc titles with a Remington, and it probably didn't cost him £1000 including Entry Fees and cartridges.
Nothing wrong with Semi -Autos at all if you understand the workings of them, clean them and maintain them properly.
The gas operated ones can be particularly good for ladies and new shooters, because the operation, absorbs some of the recoil forces and makes them very comfortable to shoot. Many people with shoulder injuries or of a frail stature can cope easily with recoil if using a semi-auto.

Worried by the frail stature ......i am running already..... :wink:
A good few 24g kick more than a soft 28g.
But as you said earlier, you don't like semi-autos. So I guess your stuck with either a well fitting or poorly fitting O/U, as are many novices being taught for the very first time how to shoot by poor instructors.
