If you’re new to shooting you may find some of the terminology confusing. What do things like “ballistic co-efficient” mean and “drop at heel”? Read through our A-Z guide to shooting terms here and you’ll understand what a gunsmith is talking about and be able to hold your own in conversation with fellow shooters. In fact, your shooting vocabulary could even end up better than theirs …

While you’re at it, cast an eye over our useful pieces: “How a shotgun works” and “The anatomy of a shotgun“. Then you’ll be even better informed.

Cartridges These propel the shot towards the target. There are different types of cartridge for different quarry (clays, game and wildfowl) and the gun being used.

Cast The angle of the stock (left or right) to the centre line of the bore, which enables the shooter’s eye to line up, with the centre line of the bore

Centrefire A cartridge with a primer placed in the centre of the cartridge. This type of cartridge is suited to high power ammunition

Chamber length Chamber lengths in shotguns are usually 2½, 2¾ or 3 inch (65, 70 and 76mm). You will need to know the chamber length of your gun before buying cartridges – if you use the wrong size you can seriously injure yourself and damage your gun

Choke Chokes are fitted to gun barrels to restrict the width which has the effecting of ‘focusing’ the shot on the target

Clay or clay pigeon A disc thrown into the air and used as a target. Made from pitch and chalk, breaks when hit by shotgun pellets. Clays can be any colour but the weight and size is always consistent.

Close season Specific times of year when it is illegal to shoot different quarry, to allow them to move to new grazing grounds and produce young

Mildot This does not stand for “military” but refers to milliradian, which is a unitless measurement, similar to degrees

Peg Where the Gun stands waiting to take a shot at the quarry. Pegs are each given numbers and Guns draw at random from cards numbered accordingly. Hogging the middle peg is considered bad form and each Gun will move to a different peg at the end of a drive

R

Recoil  The rearward movement of a rifle or shotgun when it is fired

Reloading  The process of refilling empty cartridge cases so they can be used again. This is done for economy and in the hope of increasing accuracy

Reticle  The crosshairs on a telescopic sight

Rifle  The barrels of this type of gun are rifled – marked with grooves which cause the bullet to spin, making it go further and hit more accurately. Rifles are used for killing quarry at a distance, cleanly and humanely. Ammunition is bullets and a firearms certificate (different from a shotgun licence) is required

Rough-shooting (see walked-up shooting)

S

Semi-automatic  A shotgun where cartridges are placed into a magazine which automatically loads the cartridges into the waiting chamber

Shot  Shot pellets come in a variety of sizes from 2mm-8.4mm in diameter. They are usually made from lead (although steel shot is a legal requirement for wildfowling). The larger the shot, the fewer pellets in the cartridge. Large shot travels with more energy and goes further so it gives a clean kill for large or distant targets

So in shot size high numbers equal small shot – with 9 being the smallest, going to 1 and then into letters (BB and SG is the largest shot available used for hunting large animals and vermin)

Shotgun A shotgun has single or double barrels and fires shot contained in cartridges, which are place in the chamber of the gun

Shotgun certificate  If you own a shotgun the law is that you need to be in possession of a valid shotgun certificate.  You can however apply for the certificate before you buy a gun.

Syndicate   A group of shooters who combine forces and shoot together to share costs

T

Telescopic sight A sight which is rather like a telescope and magnifies the target

Tipping  It is customary to tip the keeper at the end of the day, who will divide up tips amongst the beaters and pickers-up. As an old-fashioned rule, it’s £30 for the first 100 birds and then £10 for every 100 after that. However, if the Gun has had a particularly good day then generosity should prevail

Trap  A device which throws up clay pigeons. It can be a legal machine to catch pests and predators.

Trigger blade Device operated by the shooter’s finger that operates the trigger system to fire the gun

Trigger mechanism The device that uses sears to release the firing pin of a firearm, or release the mechanism of an airgun to fire the shot

Twelve bore (or 16, 20, 28-bore)  A gun bore is the dimeter of the barrel. A 28 bore is the smallest and a four bore the largest.

W

Wad – packing that keeps the shot in position in the cartridge. Wad can be made from plastic, fibre or felt

Wad cutter A bullet or pellet with a flat nose used for target shooting because they produce neat holes on the target

Walked-up shooting. This is informal and consists of a handful of Guns, dogs and a gamekeeper. The group literally walk across fields and along hedges with the dogs going ahead, flushing out any game or rabbits around. This offers the hunters a challenging shot and the dogs then retrieve anything hit.  The Guns have to have good reflexes and be able to make decisions quickly  It is certainly a form of shooting that fully occupies the mind as the shooters have to be aware at all times of where everybody is and where the dogs are ranged. The small number of birds or rabbits shot are generally taken home to be cooked. In fact, this is shooting ‘living off the land’ and how many tenants used to feed their families back in the day

Alternatively walked-up shooting may be a form of pest control where corvids, rabbits and foxes are the quarry. Walked-up shooting can also be known as Rough shooting 

Weight. Generally heavier guns absorb recoil better. A side-by-side is usually lighter than an over-and under

Windage The lateral adjustment of a sight

Y

Young Shots. Shooting youngsters are collectively known as Young Shots – a term that usually covers them up until the age of 18

Z

Zero The range at which the point of aim and the point of impact coincide

Zoom A term that describes the magnification of a scope

The Urban Thesaurus was created by indexing millions of different slang terms which are defined on sites like Urban Dictionary. These indexes are then used to find usage correlations between slang terms. The official Urban Dictionary API is used to show the hover-definitions. Note that this thesaurus is not in any way affiliated with Urban Dictionary.

Due to the way the algorithm works, the thesaurus gives you mostly related slang words, rather than exact synonyms. The higher the terms are in the list, the more likely that they’re relevant to the word or phrase that you searched for. The search algorithm handles phrases and strings of words quite well, so for example if you want words that are related to lol and rofl you can type in lol rofl and it should give you a pile of related slang terms. Or you might try boyfriend or girlfriend to get words that can mean either one of these (e.g. bae). Please also note that due to the nature of the internet (and especially UD), there will often be many terrible and offensive terms in the results.

There is still lots of work to be done to get this slang thesaurus to give consistently good results, but I think it’s at the stage where it could be useful to people, which is why I released it.
