I first shot a No. 4 when I was about 13 or 14 and never had any problems with bruising, even after firing 120 rounds on my first outing!

A mate of mine had to give after about a dozen shots, as he was in agony and later had a massive bruise. We were both about 9 stone wet through, so it must have been down to hold.

I've spent my life shooting; he took up pool!
