Shotguns: Show us your clay / game / zombie bashers

[Maccapacca]

We mentioned today at the great snow storm ocuk motors meet that a great ocuk clay shoot should happen mainly to see if anyone is actually a good shot

Thinking 1st April only because it suits me and any plan is better than no plan

This seems quite central and has a good reputation

We did say that only experienced shots with their own guns or other ocuk members that have shot before and can be accompanied and used another members gun. Basically no 1st timers or inexperienced shots gotta think about safety.

That's a great idea - unfortunately Surrey isn't central to rest of UK - would have been nice to meet folks though.

Count me in Sam, April 1st works well for me.

Darn, I'm around, but we have friends staying over the week-end, so I'm more or less locked home :/

Anyone went to the shooting show? We were there earlier today, interesting; did buy quite a few bits and bobs, played around with a Rizinni that looks like really good value. Bought a fantastic handmade damascus knife (£55, with a walnut handle), some Loake's etc. Quite good even if the £20 entrance fee is a bit steep...

Still waiting to hear from the police... Sent in my SGC application on the 4th of Jan :/

What county if you don't mind sharing?

I had my license through the post within a month, but my county is one of the speediest!

Heh yeah for me in powys it was 12 weeks, and that's considered 'very good' -- some counties like thames valley are well over a YEAR!

 

[NoNameNoNumber]

I'm sure on my application or perhaps on the Notts Police website it says it sorted within 12 weeks.

Well it's only been 4 or 5 weeks so far lol. Just be patient. I'm sure you'll get a call from your FEO arranging a visit soon enough.

 

[NoNameNoNumber]

Yeah, I know
Think I have sorted a gun out now though so just want it all to go through!
Pending more details and a look at the gun, Sarasqueta though if that means anything to anyone?

 

[DXP55]

My renewal has been in from 1st July 2016 and still waiting - might give them a ring tomorrow - Mine is West Mercia who have also taken on Warwickshire so must have doubled work load.

Finally a gun thread but it's on the wrong gun!

Since moved the scope back a bit.

*Sigh, new forum and it can't automatically resize images.....

My shotgun is rather boring to be honest

Sarasqueta is side by side isn't it? From what I've heard they have a good reputation.

Just phoned Headley, definitely no tuition on stand and no inexperienced shots and limited number of guests per session so I'll need numbers if anyone interested

Over and under I think, I'll let you know once I see it.

Went to 'Sporting Targets' in Riseley today. Fantastic ground, decent variety of targets and the ground is pretty large too (large enough to hire out a golf caddy if you're that way inclined). Even had a go at skeet for the first time.

Got snapped today whilst shooting on a local farm (with permission of course), was a lovely day for it!

Looks fun, I like shooting 'in the open' without a cage. Is that a Berreta?

Is it registered? Looks to me it's a 60 birder over 9 stands, with manual traps?

Try some FITASC then, you'll love it.

Tried out Headly Saturday. Great little shoot. Difficult to access in a porka though @Voxination

@Freefaller still up for 1st April
