Close, yet so far!

Well today was almost the fabled 300, managed a PB of 100/299! Although in real terms I was well away from the 300, having barrelled my 30th bird. This miss was my fault, having forgot cartridges; meaning I ran back to car resulting in me overheating and had glasses steaming up etc. but never mind I am still well chuffed as it was a 4 target improvement over my previous PB!

On a separate note, some of you may remember that I purchased an evo-comp stock a few weeks ago, and this was my 6th outing with it! Other than making a minor adjustment to the comb height before today, it feels awesome, so pleased with it!

Well done you....fantastic result.

Evocomp makes for steady shooting.

Lots out there who are anti them but I love mine and will never give it up

Well shot

I haven't managed 100 yet - 99/291 remains my best score at a comp - I shot 100/297 in practice once but it doesn't count for anything other than I know I did it .

If it makes you feel any better best dtl I have had is 100 295 and that's 28 yes of shooting comp. Dtl Easy? I think not.

Keep plugging away!

I have got there quite quickly (< 1 year shooting DTL) but have have worked quite hard, lessons with David Ball (awesome guy, highly recommended) and lots of practise!

And to think I thought getting a 25 at UT was great... I had three second barrels out of twenty five you have one from one hundred... blood amazing well done bud!

 

[V8 90]

I shot my first 100 DTL at Beverly in April this year - (I only started shooting in March after a 25 year lay off) - in September I had a couple of hours with John Robinson who picked up on a few faults which I have corrected (I think) - I feel more confident & consistent now than before - I've also had a go at ABT 3 times & my scores are on the rise !!

As you say - keep plugging away ! It's coming together slowly but surely

Haha I have never shot any of the fast trap disciplines, (come from sporting and skeet) but I imagine a 25 at UT is a pretty impressive feat!

But it was an eye opener, I was really, really nervous on the last round, shaking between shots, God knows what I would be like if on for a 300!

Being consistent is what it's all about! I work on that all the time along with dry mounting etc during the week, as I can't afford the time/money to practise during the week!

I'm pretty much the same - it's very very rare I go practice - I would think I've only shot 2-300 practice DTL targets & none at ABT ! - I just go shoot a 100 Comp most Sunday's & Saturday's when I can - must be nice to go in the week & just practice ! We're trailing a new working which gives us every other Friday off so hopefully I'll get to shoot practice on a Friday - can't wait !!

"any of the fast trap disciplines"

I have never shot DTL but nothing makes me think that I would find hitting a twenty five at it that much easier than twenty five at UT! You have twenty five targets in each discipline and you cannot afford to miss where is the difference? It is all about concentration at the end of the day. When I am really in the zone concentration wise my shooting is "a joy to watch" so I am told... never ever in the zone frequently enough though! Anybody got any good mantra's ? It may help me

The difference is, a DTL clay is much slower, you have more time to pick up the clay in your vision, lock on, react, swing through the line with a slower gun speed and break the clay. Also the trap only a osolates side to side, not up and down like ABT, max angles in DTL are only 22 degrees as opposed to 45 in ABT? So, if most people don't find shooting 25 at DTL easier than shooting 25 at ABT...I'd be AMAZED!!!
