Clay Pigeon Shooting

Report by John Steven.

Unfortunately no photos were taken.

Six of us met for bacon rolls on the Wednesday morning. Two novices in Brian Johnston and Kevin Fearn and four so-called experienced shooters in Donal Burke, Douglas Sinclair, his son Andrew and myself.

Turns out Brian is a natural in that given a little instruction he was smashing clays wonderfully. Kevin, who was wearing contact lenses, discovered that having a reading lens in your dominant eye is not ideal. He reported seeing two clays at the end of the gun. But having discovered from our instructor which one to pick, managed to burst numerous clays. Both seemed to really enjoy it and intend to return (Kevin with the appropriate lenses).
