Hints on shooting clays

[Autumn Daze]

I like to call it"Golf with a shotgun"....

[Dean Romig]

Yup, 'golf cart' and everything. It's quite a sport.... (hmmm, if it's a sport then we must be athletes, right?)

[ch]

So the left barrel is usually the one with less choke. Been thinking it might be easyer to shoot the left barrel first. Be easyer to find the second trigger where i'm usted to a single trigger right or wrong Whats u think. ch I'm going to make sure i keep my head down Pete

Dean..."Athletes"? well I guess we can call it anything we want.Danny is an athlete...I'm just an ol guy who likes to wander around in the woods with a 100 year old shotgun....

Actually so does "Da kid" so I guess your right we are "Athletes".....

Thank You....

Thanks gents for all the replies. Just got back from a day's drive and have added to the arsenal. Of the additions, a well experienced and well maintained GHE will be my gun of choice to bust clays. It is hefty so I know I'm carrying a gun with this one. It swings and mounts nicely. The damascus is nice. Barrels were sent to England years ago and came back on the brown side not black. It was also proofed and stamped BNP 3 1/4 ton/sq.in. I think I will also give it the honors for opening day roosters. Previous owner kept a game diary for this gun and there were a lot of meals provided.

I will enjoy the clay day. I'll be going over your replies a few times before the shoot (June 5)

Thanks again,
Jack

I have a feeling we could become international consultants on the fine art of missing.

Jack,
I'm real glad you posted this thread. I have shot at a good amount of grouse and woodcock, some doves and hit a pretty fair number of them. Shot a little skeet years ago. After watching everybody shoot and hearing so much talk I took a road trip to a sporting clays course a couple of weeks ago. Went with a good shooter and he helped (tried) me a lot. I sure did enjoy it and hope to hit more.
Thanks,
Mike
