Sorry to resurrect such an old thread. New DTL shooter looking for comment. Was at a club DTL recently. Normal set up and bins to the right. Once I’ve shot (and normally missed) I then wait for the person to my right to shoot before putting my cartridge(s) in the bin so as not to disturb them. The scorer, a very experienced shooter commented to me that I shouldn’t put my empties in the bin and it was poor form because I could disturb others shooting!? Are DTL shooters that sensitive and easily distracted?

Yes most trap shooters would complain about a mouse farting at 20 yards!

Various reactions to the same question sum it up nicely. Wonko was especially eloquent in 2021, #32.

It was nice of them to provide some bins that you weren't meant to use.

I have always waited for the shooter next to me to fire and then immediately put the cartridges in the bin - noise or not.

If that's not good enough then I'll find another discipline or someone else to shoot with.
