Dang, I never thought ti check YouTube for pointers on shooting the rabbit. It turns out that I'm probably leading it too much.

Now I need to figure the best way if transporting a shotgun on a motorcycle.

It's much easier if you take off the barrel and basically fold it in half.

Ryan,
I've never shot sporting clays but I'd be interested in trying, as would Termagant. We've got a coupla shotguns between us and Chabot's setup sounds worth a try at least.

Marlowe, I'll keep an eye out for a Ruger single six

Do it you will be hooked

It's a bit far from Oakland, but this is where I play: (I live in South San Jose, so it's only 10 minutes from me.)

They've got a nice course, and they even have a couple of totally easy practice stations if it's been a while since your shotgun has seen any action.


edit: If you decided to drive all the way down here, you should make reservations and shoot the Mountain Course: http://www.coyoteclays.com/mountain-course.html

Wow thanks for the link. Yes Sporting Clays are way more fun than Trap and both are way, way more fun than poking holes in paper.

It's more about the grip for me. I've got small hands and never felt a secure grip on the Glocks I've shot. I can shoot them well enough, but not natural enough to spend $500 and trust my life to it. Especially when the other options work so well for me.

My hands are pretty small as well. Glock make shorter and narrower grip version of the large frame weapons. I was surprised how well the G20SF fits my hands and was hooked the first time I shot one.

Regarding hand placement, (and yes its dependent on the particular gun and the length of your thumbs), many revolver shooting coaches recommend against thumbs forward because of the gas escaping from the side of the cylinder where it meets the barrel. There are lots of grizzly images of burnt and/or blown off thumb ends, on-line to make the point.

Would you believe that it took a Brit to introduce me to the sport?

Sure its a really popular sport in the UK most of my buddies shoot sporting clays.

Where do you shoot sporting clays in the east bay? I think a BARF Militia sporting clays trip would be a blast.

Once again, everyone is different. Never had an issue shooting any wheel gun thumbs forward. Even my 500 or Joe's Alaskan 454
