I use left pocket for loading and right for empties! Bellows pockets aren't the problem - it's more my ham-fisted fumbling.

Thanks, chaps.

I do exactly the same and tbh assumed most right handed guns do this?
It allows you to continue holding the gun by the pistol grip whilst reloading.

Hmmm, not sure I'd ever get on with this. I'm hard wired to reach down right and grab 2.

The peak next to the sun on the right is Scafell Pike.
Amazing days

For those interested, there are four of us shooting at AGL this coming Friday.

11am start.

If interested , message me or smithy to get added to the WhatsApp group for details.

We are hoping to do a tour of the big grounds over next summer , and once the date for each is fixed, we will announce here.

The thinking is that it’s a good way for PH clay shooters to get together without travelling miles from home.

Have dropped you a PM

I'd have to actually pay attenion and work out quite what I do ... I'm left handed, shoot right handed, load from the right pocket and think I open the gun, catch the empties with my left hand, dispose of them, then hold it with my left hand while i load with the right.

Might have already been mentioned previously, but would anyone be interested in a PH game day? Maybe a walked up day somewhere with a team of 4-6? could be fun...

I could go for this, depending on location!

Probably not this year though, as Lady F is already grumpy about my extensive absences to shoot...

I'd definitely be interested in this if you don't mind a first time game shooter? I've been shooting clays for around a year but not yet had chance with game, so would probably just need a couple of pointers, but I'd like to get involved

[Nick_MSM]

Where are you all based, roughly? I'm in W Sussex but not worried about travelling a bit. Could be tricky finding something this season, but could be possible in January with a bit of luck. Seen a few days being advertised recently.

[smithyithy]

I'm West Midlands so relatively central in terms of travel, I'm happy to travel as required really.

I joined the 'affordable game days' group on Facebook and there does seem to be a fair amount advertised on there but it's hard to know what's good value or worth looking into..

I'd be up for coming along to a shoot next summer if it was more local to me. I'm based near Bristol and only about 10 mins from Lady's Wood.

Interested.

Also interested.

[Nick_MSM]

As a few have replied re a PH game day, maybe the first step is to ask what sort of budget is everyone comfortable with? Once we have a rough figure I can ask around and of course check the affordable game days page on FB etc to see if there are any potential days that seem suitable.

Picking up my new Rizzini Regal Deluxe tomorrow, just before two days' shooting in Dorset next week. Its been upgraded with some grade 4 wood and, being a shallow tart, this is something that matters to me more than it should.

Excited! I can use the "new gun" excuse for missing absolutely everything.

I had a Rizzini years ago, must say I am really a Beretta man these days. Enjoying my EELL I bought a few weeks back, had 3 days with it so far and some cracking shots! Kiss of death now...

You're Essex? I am W Sussex, we have a member in York, where is everyone else based who has expressed interest in the PH game day please? So far maybe Northants-ish could be central.

I'm the other way around. Been a Beretta guy for two decades, and trying Rizzini.
