    Hey R93 you should have been here today,

    Had a good first round on the Sporting Clays today, great turnout and then we had a visit from H&F owner with his trailer with 3 full auto, programmable oscillating clay bird throwing trailer. Just too cool.
    I took my camera but forgot to use it!!!

    We all shot in teams of 4 (with a loader each) 3 flurries of 100 targets a time per team.
    Bloody good fun and I discovered an U/O with loader is far faster to shoot well than an auto or in my case 10 shot pump.

    our team missed 13 of the hundy in the first flurry with U/O's and loaders and 23 in the second. Don't ask about the third as the wheels fell off. By the third time even lifting the gun was difficult .

    You would have thoroughly enjoyed your self.

    What was the flurry Mikee? Incomers or teal? Thats still pretty good shooting either way to only drop 13.

    Mate, I have not shot a clay target since a couple shoots in Waikato and Rotorua in 2011. My own machine hasnt even had the battery charged in over a year. I would need to shoot at least, a couple hundred easy targets to get back into it.

    A mate is using my F3, just to stop it rusting... seriously
    Do what ya want! Ya will anyway.

    High Birds, Incomming and crossing. The 3 traps could all oscillate randomly left, right, up and down under their own power.

    To top it all off another member currently in Aussie for a shoot ha just been to Argentina dove shooting. Rumour is their group fired a lot of shells in a short space I time. I'll post the number when i actually see his email

    Promatic Huntsman......mate has one, heaps of fun!!

    Secret to shooting a semi in the flurry is to never let it get empty. Drop an extra shell in whenever there is a quiet moment.

    Thats the one,
    there were not many quite moments, was set on "fast" all over in about 4 minutes
    I was running a 10 shot pump the second time round, my 3 Gun Hevi metal shot gun. I can load it fast but the U/O was still faster and better to shoot to boot

    I shot 6 flurries of 50 (1.5 mins/50) at Boomrock Wellington. Absolutely awesome fun! We were limited to 2 shots at a time. I found that a semi was a lot faster to reload. I would have a shell in my non trigger hand and whenever is fire a shot I'd slide my hand back, put the shell in the mag then reach down and grab another one. I could fire 3 shots pretty fast if I needed to and pretty much always had 2 shells in the gun.
    If my work annoys me, I cull them

    Sounds like a great deal of fun
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    We ran a flush at our South Island Sporting Clay Shooters duckshooters shoot last month. We used 4 traps and a Morris wireless flush control box.
    The Morris system has a so called: Duckflush - pre-programmed with 3 different flush sequences (25 bird 4 trap. 50 bird 5 trap, and 50 bird 6 trap).
    You have quite a variation of speeds and can slow it down enough so 1 person can shoot it bu himself, great fun.
    We had 3 shooters and set it at top speed.
    We will have one going at Burnham again at our May 26 'Perazzi Classic' sporting shoot. It was extremely popular and ran most of the day, and is a good extra little fund raiser for the club.
