... I am going sporting shooting.

Phils kindly invited me too a charity sporting shoot representing yorkshire (my county of birth) i told him i would be cack and yorkshire would probably lose as a result but he didn't seem to mind. .. Even promised to put me in his squad and show me the ropes as i am self confessed clueless, very kind thanks Phil.

I have to say i am looking forward to it as it sounds fun Mrs ips and i are making a weekend of it in caravan as its the bank hols weekend. I will post full report on how cack i was after the event.

In the meantime any advice on shooting sporting with fixed choke trap gun appreciated.

For those that Havent seen it i believe its on meet ups section.

Cheers.

Keep that gun swinging and pull the trigger mate. Watch out everybody IPS is entering the dark side..good luck.

" thats when the fight started "

 

[ips]

Ha, cheers guys.

Really looking fwd to it never shot sporting apart from during an all round about 5 times many years ago but that was really just compact so doesn't count. Weather looking good apparently so should be a great weekend.

Going away stuff doesn't bother me but coming towards and going side ways oh and possibly more than one at a time, what's that about

 

[PhilS]

do the words Steep, Learning & Curve mean anything mate? :hunter:

You'll be fine.

 

[Bryn12]

Spose I should support Yorkshire as my grampa was from Moxon.

Hey that is GREAT news. I can lend you an auto, or my 'M'  trap gun which is multi.....oh forget it. It spreads a lot. I really admire a Guy who is willing to try something different, now then,..........did you watch the Eurovision !!!!
