Re: [MBZ] ***SPAM*** RE: OT: Oh the temptation

When I was a kid, I bought some $12-$20 shotguns, and a $22 W 1906 22 that was worn out.  I still have a 12 single with plastic furniture.  I had tons of fun with them.  As G Mann said: "Lower cost of shootingmeans you shoot more often, so more fun." Fancy stuff that has to be locked up

This guy is my coach: http://rogergascoigneshootingcoach.com He rocks. Very calm demeanor, does a great job with fitting, critiquing your technique, etc. I really enjoy working with him and always feel like I get more than my money’s worth when it

Re: [MBZ] ***SPAM*** RE: OT: Oh the temptation

Yep, the nice gun is one you can consistently hit the target with. If it fits you properly, length of pull, pitch, balance, you are up on the game, the rest is practice practice, practice... Next trick is to find a competent shooting coach to watch and advise, for a reasonable fee, it will be

Here they are, but not in Europe or Down Under. I think it’s a colonialism thing, maybe? I shot clays in the UK and Australia with side by sides and over/unders. That’s where I became familiar with Lanber, a Spanish gun. And yes, if you’ve shot with anything else before, shooting with a side

Side by sides are very difficult for clays. They're pretty uncommon these days anyhow... -Curt On Friday, August 30, 2019, 1:22:27 PM EDT, Dan--- via Mercedes wrote: I shot in a competition for a fund raiser for our local high school’s sporting clays team recently. One of the guys

I shot in a competition for a fund raiser for our local high school’s sporting clays team recently. One of the guys in our group had a very expensive/ornate British side by side. He wasn’t hitting a darned thing while the rest of us were knocking down probably about 80%-90% at each station. It
