You won’t need me to tell you that lockdown was a long time without pulling the trigger. My first opportunity to get out and smash some clays came at the splendid EJ Churchill ground, where I’d arranged to try out the new Breda Zenith Sporter in the company of Andy Norris from the gun’s importers, Viking Arms. It was a chance to kill several birds with one stone.
I was keen to check out the improvements that the EJ Churchill team had been working on throughout lockdown at their already excellent ground. I also wanted to try shooting with the Evolution glasses from Sunglasses for Sport. Denzil Lee from the company had kindly sent me a set to try, complete with lenses made to my prescription - but then lockdown kicked in before I got a chance to use them for their intended purpose.
