Getting into clay shooting. Part 1: Getting Started.

[@chaiseinator]

Hi Lloyd, 4 years later and this series is golden for beginners -- got my first comp this weekend and I've got you to thank!

[@lloydyp]

Ah man, that’s really good to hear. Thank you.

[@pball98]

Lloyd this is perfect. Keep making these as long as you can come up with ideas! I’m new to clay sports in Canada and just purchased my first over under. I’ve been lucky enough to find some friends on the rifle range who love to shoot skeet too, and have helped me out tremendously. Other than some simple aiming tips vids there isn’t much on KZbin to help new shooters out. This should def bring you the subs you deserve.

[@lloydyp]

Make sure you watch and share episodes 2 and three then Pball :)

[@davidmclean8423]

Absolutely cracking idea for a video series. As pretty new to shooting I’m looking forward to seeing your upcoming vids, and I’m sure I’m going to learn lots about those intangibles that are so hard to get to grips with if you don’t already know people that shoot. On a side note, as I was one of the very small commercial team that came up with the brand extension concept for Aunt Bessie’s Roast Potatoes, and proudly brought them to market, I can tell you that Jonny’s talking out of somewhere he shouldn’t be able to talk out of!

[@lloydyp]

Thank you David. 😁 I'll mention that to Jonnie.

[@johndivit5869]

Lovely job matey! I have been shooting for 40+ years, but this kind go info would have been brilliant when I was a newbie. Looking forward to the next batch - Never too old to learn! TTFN.

[@lloydyp]

Thanks John.

[@nickdaly1975]

Yep this is me right now can't tell you how helpful this is. Thank you!

[@lloydyp]

Thanks man, good to hear :)

Merry Christmas

Thank you, merry Christmas to you too.

[@saltwatersaddletramp7229]

Shooting clay targets is an awesome sport. So glad we don’t have to jump so many hurdles here in the US.

[@lloydyp]

Agreed, bit it's worth it.

[@leenicholls9270]

Good topic. I followed the method of fitting the cabinet so the door closed towards the adjacent wall to hinder a crow bar. As for feeling intimidated when I was a new shooter I agree, however when you get chatting, you soon get offered help, make new friends and sometimes become better than them. Both eyes open and don’t look at the bead was my best advice.

[@lloydyp]

Keep an eye open for the next episodes. 😉

[@danjamison3727]

Another good video Lloyd My gun cabinet is foam lined stuck to sides so no air gap for condensation Also keep gun in sock and well oiled

[@lloydyp]

Good man.

Watching from the States. Interesting on every thing you have to do so you can shoot clays in your country.

[@lloydyp]

The next 2 vids are more international. The licencing stuff will seem quaint to you guys.

[@ronaldjohnson1474]

​@@lloydyp Not just quaint, but oppresive.

Thanks John.

Thanks Lloyd, long time watcher/subscriber, first time commenter...look forward to this mini series. Look forward to the next ep, all the way from Perth, West Australia.

[@lloydyp]

Thank you Wilson.

[@UKReloader]

Thanks for the video. Your post on Facebook led me to your channel. I applied for my licence back in March and only received it about a month ago. The police never came round my house, they phoned me and we had a chat over the phone, then I had to email a load of photos of the cabinet and where it was fitted. I'm in a wheelchair, and completely new to the sport, and I struggle to motivate myself to get out the house as I'm new to being in a chair as well. I just went and bought a gun and a load of shells so this will motivate me to get out the house!! I went for an Armsan 612s purely for the fact I understand a semi auto will give me less recoil. Can't wait to get out now, but I'm in a tier 3 area, so not sure on the rules. I also need a lesson or two, as the only other time I've used a shotgun was on a range in Thailand several years ago 😄😄😄

[@lloydyp]

In T3 shooting is allowed, you just have to be very strict with social distancing.

[@tomeverythingoutdoors]

Really useful video mate! Just looking to get into the sport so look forward to working through all your vids.

[@jontymo]

Great video, as a young 51 year old I want my 1st gun so back to Park Lodge for more lessons and my license application.

[@lloydyp]

Good luck Jonty :)

[@nissan300bhp]

what he said is what i did, 1.5 years ago i fancied shooting so i approached my local club, shot with them for 2 months as a guest for experience (you can apply anytime for section 2), but in the interview they ask if you have any experience, having 2 months shooting experience goes a long way! so i then applied for my license, 2 months later i had my own browning 525 laminate,. thanks to my local police for super quick application

[@lloydyp]

thanks Gaz

[@scottsugden1199]

great start, looking forward to the next instalments

[@lloydyp]

Thank you Scott.

[@northernprep7790]

Never to late to learn.

Hi, first off love the you tube channel. I have a question, i am new to shooting and I have recently purchased a new Miroku MK38 grade 5. I shot it for the first time this weekend and shot about 100 cartridges. The barrels under the foreend has gone from black to a blueish colour. Is this normal ???

[@lloydyp]

It's supposed to be blue, that's why it's called blueing. Unless it's a massive change indicating wear from the forend don't worry about it.

[@schmaltzie1]

Just getting into the sport and have found your video's invaluable. Thought it would be a great sport to add to my retirement regiment. I have purchased a summit impact trap combo to start out with. But would really like it if you could do a review on a Zilo Z- sport. Cheers!

[@lloydyp]

I've been waiting 2 years for a Zoli. I'm afraid I've stopped asking.

[@schmaltzie1]

@@lloydyp they only have 1 sales outlet in western Canada and it just happens to be my local club. Not sure what Mr. Zoli is afraid of?

[@lloydyp]

It's not Zoli, it's the UK distributor. 🤷‍♂️

[@MichaelYarde]

Great video as always Lloyd! I know you’ve probably already thought about it, but in your safety video for new shots, can you cover how to get a gun out of a slip. It makes me shudder how some people get guns out of slips. Not only is it cumbersome, it’s not exactly safe! It’s something that’s so obvious once you’ve been shown it, but not everyone thinks it themselves or is lucky enough to have someone show them what to do

[@lloydyp]

Already done it, it's in episode 2.

[@MichaelYarde]

Lloyd Pattison I thought you would have! Looking forward to it already 👍🏻

[@benburra6194]

When you say the safe must be fitted to a solid structure would timber rafters in attic be classed as a solid structure?

[@stevem4038]

What a great idea! Only took up clay shooting two years ago at aged 61 with only have-a-go experience. Believe me I found that there was a lot to think about and much to learn. But I have in all honesty found only helpful folk. Lots of free advice. My all time favourite is " it needs more lead" 😂. Still hear that quite a lot. Look forward to hearing your advice and tips. Never too old to learn something new!

Hi Lloyd great idea to help new shooters get into the sport I was 16 when I got my certificate it was hard to find where to go as no internet back in 1986 luckily where I got my apprenticeship few of the guys did it which helped me out, are you going to review any FAC firearms as you mentioned you have got one.

Hi Lloyd, first I would like to say that I really like your videos! They are condensed, nice and I like how you do it. Now, about the licencing! I am writing to you from Serbia, and in Serbia the guns are licenced not the people. What I mean is, I currentlly have 2 rifles and 4 shotguns, and I needed to apply with the same bounch of paperwork for each and every of them. How's that in the UK? I figured out from yours and Johny's (TGS) videos, that you guys need that shotgun certificate, and than you can buy or sell shotguns as you like. Is that true?

[@lloydyp]

Yep, you can have as many shotguns as you can safely store.

Good useful tips there, look forward to the subsequent episodes. Note that unfortunately many Constabularies are prioritizing renewals over issuing new licenses so a new application may be problematic. As it was I renewed by Co-term 5 months early and the tickets were still late in arriving (Avon & Somerset). Just one note that your sound level was very quiet, had to turn the PC volume to max to hear you. Homemade roasties all the way! #getinthegoosefat ;)
