Gentlemen,
Question involving sporting clays on a full gauge course.
Last Thursday I got a call from a friend to "go shoot clays" on Saturday. Said of course and looked in the safe. Have a sxs .410 that hasn't seen action in 8-10 years, grabbed it and figured if I ran 50% on skeet i'd be happy.
Well, show up and it's a full gauge sporting clay course. I'll call the experience humbling to say the least. Ran 25%, now mind it was A LOT of fun only hitting 1 in 4, but I'm used to running about 75% with a 12 GA.
I realize this means I'm using the 12GA spread to overcome accuracy (that's the point and all), but I guess what's a "decent" .410 score on a sporting clay range.
I'm hanging my head at the 25%, but I will say most of the stands I saw I said "I'd NEVER take that shot in the field!" As I fired away to not waste the bird.
