Err ok... Dad just said that him, me, 3 friends and my Terrano are buggering off into the hills to do clay pigeon shooting next weekend. I know bugger all about air rifles let alone shooting them

. Err so is there any advice from you guys

I'll probably be shown but thought I'd ask ya's. Found out about 5 mins ago

. Do I also shoot at discoverys??

if you are going clay pigeon shooting then i would imagine you will be using shotguns....not air rifles....

yep, air rifles are best for stationary targets, more sniper style, for clay pigeons you need a blunderbuss

the wooden end is the butt that gose in your shoulder
when you shoot keep both eyes on the target and shoot a foot infront off target as it flys past.

From your previous posts I wouldnt take the terrano your dad might shoot it.

Seriously though, is this and organised shoot or just you your dad and his mates, if its organised pay close attention to the safety brief and have fun.

If its not organised be very careful and have fun.

Two good pointers are never point the shotgun at anyone ever and only shoot when you can see sky.

@ ste68blue & plank: it probably is a shot gun then

as I said, I know 0.00% about guns

@ Cristof123: I admire my dad, he manages to get a standard 2.7 to make smells and noises I didn't think were posable. Then when he brakes it, he Slags me off for buying a crap 4x4 and won't admit he's broke it. Just says it ain't his problem

we won't be towing so he shouldn't trash it.... Unless he decides to show off

I'm not sure if it's organised.
