[.357shooter 990]

had a go at this maybe 4-5 years ago and it did not just feel like my kind of shooting.tried 3-4 times and only got 17/25 max.yet had a go on tuesday evening and really liked it a lot.how things change.first round was 20/25 and the second was 21/25.happy as a pig in shite and have no idea why i liked it so much so it looks like more dtl and less sporting for me in the future.

I must confess my wife likes to shoot DTL and its good fun but I do get a bit grumpy if I completely miss a bird however it's a good warm up before I go on the Olympic Trap layouts, now those buggers are fast. I still shoot a bit of sporting especially at John Bidwell's shooting ground, High Lodge in Suffolk when we stay there. We are booked in for a week in October and I am rally looking forward to it.

Try to use 1/2 choke for your first shot and no more than 3/4 for the second, if needed, thats all I use for all my trap shooting as does my wife and she is only using 21gr cartridges, just a thought.

well things are improving.tried 3/4 and full tonight with no8,s and hit 23 on the first go and then 23 again on the 2nd try .as said you do get grumpy if you completely miss one but i did outscore everyone else tonight.
