  4. Shotgun Advice!!! Female Shooter

    in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns

    Posted

    Hi all, I'm a beginner and own a 12G semi.. When I was researching guns before I knew I wanted a semi. I was reading on a shooting forum women being horrified that men were saying certain guns are too big for women to use. That women can shoot with any gun.. Yada yada.. This is where I strongly disagree now. I went ahead and Bought a budget semi so if the gun ended up not suiting I wasnt out a fortune (or incase I was sh*t at shooting lol)

    My problem is (being only 5ft2) the semi is Huge, It 100% if I'm just whacking clays all day the recoil isn't a problem even using BB's.. however my Mr and i head out on our permissions.. By the time we're an hour or two in I start to get frustrated.. It is heavy but not too heavy.. Its more so a problem that it's so long.. Even if I considered a 3point sling.. The gun would touch the ground. As I said, I'm a novice so getting out and doing it is still brilliant and I'm loving it, but I know the gun is definitely too big for me. I was hoping someone could advise me on what would maybe suit (something smaller), I love a semi.. I've tried an over and under and side by side before.. But I just like the semi best.. The escort semi was cheap enough so id just hold on to it also.. But definitely need something more practical... Any advice appreciated :)

     

    Thanks. A

  13. Tips and help for beginners

    in Pigeon Shooting & Decoying

    This post's a good idea, so many times the same questions are asked by newbies.

    While off work for a long period and with the newbies in mind I sat and wrote a paper on the basics from gun to decoying to pass some time.

    Just recently again off work I gave it a re-write and added some pics and diagrams anyone that wants a copy is welcome to it, im no writer but its been out to a few folk on another forum and had nice comments .

    Just message me your e-mail addy and i will forward it .

    Hey just reading this post and was wondering is there any chance I could get a copy of that!! I know that's a bit forward of me, but if I can get anything to help me in anyway.. I'm jumping at it lol.. Just new to the site today myself!!

     

    Thanks a mil

  16. Police Interview For Sgc Application (Northern Ireland)

    Hey,

    I'm a new on here today!

    Looking to see if anyone can advise me on time frame for completed application.

     

    Give u a quick brief of where in the process I'm at...

     

    Sent application with all the bits and pieces 3 weeks ago, Today I had an interview with my FAO (which hopefully went okay)

    She did view the cabinet today but told me on the phone there was no rush to mount it for this visit (she'll make a second trip for that), all being well, I'll next receive the letter stating that it's granted (subject to suitable gun cabinet).. Does anyone have any rough ideas on how long after the interview until you get your license?? The process seems to be pretty speedy thus far..

     

    Any ideas please do let me know :)
