When it comes to safety around guns, I'm right there with you. For that matter, I get twitchy even with open guns and barrels are pointing at me (or someone). I can't stand it, it annoys the living shit out of me....

When I say too many rules example would be "gun on the shoulder before you say pull" (a got asked to do this when I did DTL - not skeet), when hunting my gun is not on the shoulder when I ask my dog to flush a bird.
So doing the same in a clay practice environment (which I am only doing to get better for hunting) does not really reflect the real life hunting situation IMHO.

I only shoot sporting so its "gun down" for me. Petros if you are ever in Nelson mate, Come shoot with us. I am sure you will enjoy it. We shoot Round of 25 Sport clays followed by 100 clays, sometimes "on report" or usually "true pairs".

Thanks Mike, same applies to you,
I'm well overdue for a south island trip that I've never done.
