Hi All,
New member here. Haven't been actively shooting for several years now. I was a keen full bore target shooter for a long time.
I decided recently to get back into shooting. Figured I'd have a go at sporting clays. I've shot clays a few times using friends guns and before the buyback in the late 90's I had a mossberg pump that I used to take out from time to time. I used to enjoy getting out for a shot and I figure it'll be a good opportunity to reconnect with friends and have a bit of fun. Always liked a bit of friendly competition.
As a novice I figured I didn't want to spend a whole heap of money up front but I wanted something good quality with good features. After reading a bunch of reviews I settled on the Akkar Churchill Trap, It felt OK on my shoulder in the shop and the buld quality seems decent. Hopefully it'll shoot OK for me.
Mine was older stock and came in a cardboard box. The new ones come in a nice molded plastic case.
I picked up a vintage style break down case off eBay for it and it fits nicely in my small car boot.
Really keen to get out and shoot this thing. Hopefully I won't embarrass myself.
Any pointers for a new shooter turning up to a club? I've shot a Seymour Field and Game a couple of times about 20 years back. Figured I'd go there again.
Cheers
Mike
