NOW SORTED THANKS .22 blank firing revolver

.....Game laws prevent the use of a shotgun with a capacity of more than 2 rounds and you are seriously sneered at for shooting a semi at a clay club in any event. Which is why it's fun to shoot one and satisfying to beat those looking down their nose at you with one. However nobody turns up at a serious clay shoot with a high cap shotgun with or without "less lethal" stencilled down the side. Promise.

Capacity here depends on exactly what game your hunting. Upland game hunting is limited to no more than 3 round capacity.

As for clay shooting, what's in fashion changes from time to time. For a while it was fashionable for everyone to shoot double barrels but then a few years ago it shifted back to semi-autos. I've no idea what the current trend is TBH. That said, it's difficult to imagine using the terms "serious" and "clay shoot" in the same sentence. Clay shooting is an awful lot of fun; but hardly serious sport unless you have a big enough budget to train for Olympic level competition. To be perfectly honest, I can't really afford to do proper quail hunting here in the south anymore. It's upwards of $300 per gun per day on a managed quail plantation (and the wild bobwhite population has all but disappeared)

I'm glad it worked out Simon. Better safe than sorry

I had it a long long time, the grip broke in about 1990! I always thought you needed a licence for it until this thread; it's been in the loft ever since.
