simulated game day

[ips]

three drives two hundred birds per drive.

that's all I know, so how does it work ??

Very similar to a proper game day, draw a peg, possibly shared with another gun and swap over half way through the drive, sometimes load yourself other tines your partner stuffs. Stand there and shoot a load of driven clays. Take lots of cartridges, a slab minimum. Good fun, gun gets very warm.

 

[MJJ]

Two slabs if your quick.

have a look at the dbwclay site they do simulated days and have a downloadable brochure. looks good to me but a bit costly

i have no connection to dbw by the way

When you organising one?

Can be good fun on the right ground. But a LOT of cartridges fired. I had a raging migraine after the last one I shot and that was with 21g loads.

Gives you a good excuse to practice shooting the birds delivered for the guns 3 pegs either side of you....

I loaded for a mate some years ago at a sim day near Blandford and he shot just over 1150 cartridges. He didn't fancy a round of skeet at Southern Counties on the way home. Big strong lad too.

Light loads & you`ll still be nannied after 200 bird drives !

better take a couple of slabs of 27g then...oh and ibuprofen ?

Quite honestly, I would get some Hull Comp X in 21 gram FIBRE. They will kill everything you are shooting at without any of the discomfort of the Superfarts, go and see Tim  ?

trouble is I have a few K of suprfast in stock. It'll be all right ?

I"ll let you borrow an auto. Very low recoil and it's a Beretta.

Anyone doing these simulated Gamedays really needs to replicate what they will be doing in the Game season .

So I would recommend 40 grams of Number 5 or even better still Express World Cup 32 gram , and really get stuck in and shoot 250 +

Did a sim day at Dovey Valley a few years ago. numerous 'drives' in a variety of locations around their estate. Pissed in down all day, wet through but thoroughly enjoyable day. Take LOTS of cartridges.

Alright,  if you are not shooting off your shooting stick, or you just may strike oil  !
