Thread: Help in Nelson

There is no 'rules' regarding pumps etc
I have shot my best round of skeet 24/25 with a pump gun. 1st time on a pump ... Can't replicate it...
Chris 'fatty' Skully would clean up most shooters on NZ on a clay field with a pump gun.
I've seen him shoot skeet, trap and ball trap with one as a pisstake and beat most there .
Unfortunately some clay clubs are lead by geriatrics that are blind to anything else
Unless the club rules state no pumps when you joined then crank away!
Most shoots at our club 30% would be using pumps.
Mate of mine Eli can fire a pump gun quicker than I can an auto!! And it boots 5x as much as my auto and he will put box after box through it .. I'll pass and 'select' birds LOL

Yeah I get the feeling that could be the case with a couple of the members.........like I said we have met guy's up there that have been fantastic at offering their time and help, but when your new you try not to ruffle the feathers of the older birds

Chris S whipped our butts using a mossberg pump action .410 at one shoot, smoking fast 40 yard crossers with it too.

While him and I don't really "get on" the man could use a 4x2 for a stock andpipe taped on it for a barrel and still win. He can shoot!!
I have seen him hit clays at almost unbelievable distances regularly

How are you measuring those distances ?
From the muzzle , or from his gut ?
There is quite a difference between the two and it could give a false impression of the distance .
He's actually standing quite close to those long birds , its just his gun that's further back .
