    BOP clay target club at TECT park let you shoot semi autos - not frowned upon too much. Check the website for practice days to rock up at.

    I don't get out much now, owing to lack of opportunity, but some of the best fun I've had was with a Winchester 5 shot pump, 18.5" barrel, shooting rabbits in the scrub on the river bed. As others...
