j-brog 0 Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Hi all, Newcomer to a shotgun shooting here, having recently been taken clay pigeon shooting I immediately decided the sport was for me and rapidly filled out the SGC form and ordered a gun cabinet much to my other half's initial displeasure! Currently waiting for SGC to process so I can get round to buying my first gun and hitting some clays, hopefully followed by some live quarry. Joined this forum to ask some questions and benefit from the advice of those more experienced. Also a keen air rifle hunter having been shooting with these for over 10 years. Cheers!

Rake aboot 4,936 Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Welcome bud Where you shooting clays about. I head down to Braidwood, I`m a newbie to clays as well, but am enjoying it, after years of bird shooting. Just bought a Winchester select sporting and it suits the clay shooting.

j-brog 0 Posted November 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Chees Rake. Shoot at Cluny Clays in Kirkcaldy. Seems quiet and well run, have a good time there. Nice looking gun from what Google shows me. I've only shot a Baikal 27 O/U but enjoyed it. Felt comfortable and handled well. Will probably try to get one of these when SGC comes through. Also fancy a classic SxS as well to pad my cabinet out more. Pity am only window shopping at the mo! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

j-brog 0 Posted November 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 There are a few other clay grounds nearby but the ones I contacted didn't offer a clay only option, only 1to1 tuition or group bookings. If you know of anything let me know though, happy to try anything/anywhere. Enjoyed the sporting set up at Clunys so I will be returning to their as well.

j-brog 0 Posted November 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Just had a look Rake, is it the Bisley ground you shoot at? Looks like they've got plenty to keep you occupied there! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rake aboot 4,936 Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 I bought the Winchester from Robin at Cluny. Best price anywhere. Braidwood is just along from Newton St Boswells. They have that bisly indoor rifle range now. Bloody great concrete tube for rattling of centre fires. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The one 8,578 Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Robin states that he will be cheaper by at least 50 pence on all bullets and cartridges , and a lot more on guns but he's hardly ever there now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
j-brog 0 Posted November 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Will have a look at the guns available next time I'm at Cluny, will be sure to ask for Robin! Any thoughts on Dickson and Macnaughton on Frederick Street? Was down there today having a nose around... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
