MANY more-than-competent game shots can struggle when it comes to shooting clays. But whether it is a spot of close season (or mid-season) practice or simply a sim day with pals, the clay-busting environment requires different techniques. Here is how to refine new methods when you are engaging with artificial targets.
BEFORE YOU START
SAFETY
Additionally to the rules in the field (guns unloaded, unobstructed and never pointed at anyone), when clay shooting you should move locations with a slipped gun (as game shooting now). When not slipped or in use, guns should be open and empty when in the vicinity of a shooting position. In the 'cage', only load the gun with the barrels over the front bar (assuming there is one). The gun should be unloaded, or checked unloaded and clear (unobstructed), at the end of shooting with barrels still over the front bar. Do not turn to leave the cage with a closed gun. Finally, beware of anything popping up in front of you unexpectedly when shooting. Don't forget safety glasses, ear protection and a hat or cap.

Rory Stewart - The former Cabinet minister and hit podcast host talks to Alec Marsh about the parlous state of British politics, land management and his deep love of the countryside
The gently spoken 51-year-old former Conservative Cabinet minister is a countryman at heart. That's clear: he even changes into a tweed waistcoat for the interview, which takes place at his London home and begins with a question about his precise career status. Having resigned from the Commons and the Conservative Party in 2019, the former diplomat and soldier has reinvented himself, first with an unconventional but promising run as an independent for the London mayoralty (abandoned because of COVID19 in 2020) and then as a media figure, co-hosting one of the country's most popular podcasts, The Rest Is Politics, alongside Alastair Campbell, the former Labour spin doctor.
