    Used to shoot various calibre of rifle/shotgun but many moons past. Only did proper clay once though.

    No problem with shooting sports as long as they have strict regulations as to licensing and the storage of weapons/ammunition etc. Too many nutters out there.

            my young lad used to help out at a friends farm, where they
            rented out clay shooting for the public.
            they used to use a large box of clays for one event and at the end used to pay my lad to pick up undamaged clays..

            he allways came back with over 3/4 of a box...

            i watched a few times and most of the people i watched, would have had more luck throwing the gun at the clays..LOL
            Still in the workshop.

                        did some some years ago but had to stop cause of dodgy shoulder, i once went to chatsworth country fair derbyshire and tried the old powder loaded twelvers, then had a go on a powder loaded 4 bore nearly knocked me off me feet, they also had a powder loaded 2 bore they wouldnt let u use that tho was for display only, apparently it was mounted on the back of a boat for shooting ducks etc.

                          ah the owl 410 me bro inlaw had one that could be broke down in to 3 parts so you could hide it easy inside your coat he also had a .22 bullet gun with a night scope and high velocity bullets for downing deer, he got caught poaching in the end with the bullet gun lucky not to get sent down, got fined ?1,100 and that was about 28 years ago

                              no automatic weapons are allowed, although you can use an automatic shotgun that holds no more than 3 cartridges (that includes one in the breach) not to sure on the rules with rifles or pistols i know the rules are stricter and its more difficult to get a license for firearms as opposed to shotguns
