Default Clay shooting...

Went to Bolton Gun club on Sunday for a charity shoot out. Its the first time i've ever fired a shotgun, and admittedly i could have picked a better week after everything that has happened.

Had a really good time, and managed to hit 23/30 which wasn't bad i don't think.

Any body else go shooting?

5 Iron.....oh dear....just throw golf balls in the air and blast them with the shotgun!

Looks like you were using a Semi Auto, they are good fun for clays....But you end up firing loads of shells! (expensive) lol
