  1. I agree with tasum’s advice. You must swing through the target; never stop your gun (always swinging through the target after pulling the trigger). I try to have my belt buckle stay in sync with my barrel swing. Keep your weight forward (i.e., over your forward foot), and rotate at your waist.

     

     

    tasum also states: “Aim with the end of your barrel and keep your eye on the target.”

     

    That is precisely what you should do when shooting moving clays or live birds. You look at the target and track this with direct vision, but never look directly down the barrel. This concept is not easily explained, but basically if you look at the front sight of your shotgun, you will stop or slow your swing. You must always look at the target, and point your barrel at the target you are looking at. You will figure this out after shooting a few targets.

     

    Please let us know how you do on your first rounds.

    Well done Spike, made my post make a bit more sense. Cheers :)

     

    Godd luck with your clays BL.

  2. Always keep your barrel moving and follow through. Don't stop your barrel moving once you've pulled the trigger.

     

    Aim with the end of your barrel and keep your eye on the target. If you have issues, try shutting one eye to remove any dominant eye issues.

     

    My mate spent a while with a coach and was advised to shut his non-dominant left eye when he aimed and it has improved his clay and bird scores.

     

    Good luck, practice makes perfect :)

  3. A lot of our police are starting to carry tasers now.

     

    Our gun laws are very restrictive. We have no concept of armed defence in the UK. Firearms and shotguns are purely for sporting or pest control purpose.

     

    I've got both the 2+1 and the 8+1 versions (M2 and supernova), plus other shotties for clays and birds, as well as several firearms including a 303 and 223.

     

    There are guidelines to follow over here, but if you have good reason to want to own the gun the police will usually have to grant you a licence. Even those with old or non-relevant convictions can apply and may get a licence.

     

    We can't carry our guns just anywhere and we can't leave them out in our houses; they must either be in use, being cleaned or locked up securely. Even my wife can't have access to my guns and I can't have access to hers.

     

    My relatives in south africa have an easier time, but they routinely carry over there because of the very high incidents of violent crime. Life is cheap and bad guys often have nothing to lose.

     

    Handgun crime over here has dramatically increased since the handgun ban, so the banning of all handguns, even 22lr (not air pistols) hasn't made any difference to the criminals.

     

    I wish we had access to all of the extras you have in the us. We have to pay silly money for all the us stuff if we can get it. Oh well, at least the weather over here is like Florida. :)

  4. Not wishing to hijack the thread, but is it easy to put ghost sights on a field barrel? Are there any aftermarket kits that don't require smithing?

     

    I have the field sn with the factory pistol grip, but wondered about ghost sights for clays and foxes.

  5. Defense, not defence!

     

    At shotgun ranges almost anything works, but 00 buck or slugs is my preference.

     

    My M4 Carbine, however, is preferred to my M4 shotgun.

    I slipped that spelling in just to test you all!

     

    Thanks for the info. I've got several shotties and 2 full bore rifles, so if it all goes wrong I'm covered. Let's hope it doesn't come to that, but I'm addicted to all those prepper vids on youtube :eek:

     

    Thanks for the shell info. I'm guessing we can't put slug down a smooth bore barrel? I'm not sure.

     

    Thanks again, let's have some pictures please.

  6. What's your setup and what shells do you use.

     

    We can't use firearms and shotguns for home defence over here in the UK, but I'm just curious what you more liberated chaps in the US use.

     

    Any pictures of your favorite :) loadouts would be lovely.

     

    Please note my deference to your US spelling above :)

  7. Hi there just wondering what extra parts have you put aside in case of an emergency/wrol situation? :rolleyes:

     

    I've been watching too many youtube vids (:eek:) and I'm curious whether any of you have bought replacement parts for your rifles & shotguns in the event you need to use them for a prolonged period of time without access top a gunshop?

     

    What parts should I think about buying for a supernova?

  8. Thanks snallygaster, I noted your comments and I'm looking to source one over here. I appreciate your help and will let you know if I can get one (ebay may be my best bet).

     

    Thanks.
