Chris Report post Posted January 29, 2017 I want to take the wife to ben avery and try shooting. Is today a good day to go there or is it a busy place? I don't know a thing about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AzPlumber Report post Posted January 29, 2017 Haven't been to BA in years so not sure how busy it gets but I would start out on trap and then progress to skeet. Sporting clays is a blast and would also be a good one to start with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DUG Report post Posted January 29, 2017 If you've never been there before they will have you watch a safety video. They will help you with what discipline you want to shoot, whether it's trap, skeet or sporting. They even have rental guns. But please don't start your wife shooting clays with a pump or single shot. Recoil is what ruins the experience for new shooters. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AzPlumber Report post Posted January 29, 2017 Semi-auto will absorb some recoil and allow for an easier second target shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DUG Report post Posted January 29, 2017 Try to find some reduced recoil loads from Walmart or Cabelas or Sportsman Warehouse. They may not cycle a semi auto but you may want her just to shoot one at a time anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Report post Posted January 29, 2017 Perfect, thanks! I see G&F rents Berettas, so that's likely semi's, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Report post Posted January 29, 2017 How do the "count" clays ? Do you start your shoot, and then they check to see how many were thrown? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SWDesertRat Report post Posted January 29, 2017 How do the "count" clays ? Do you start your shoot, and then they check to see how many were thrown? They give you a card and you can put whatever amount of money on it, at each station you place the card on the machine and each clay that gets thrown takes some money off the card. It's pretty simple. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
