Competition Cartridge Rules

was talking about the use of cages (or not)

:smile: I was replying to the one who asked about dry mounting :wink:

But I agree with you.....no need for cages.....skeet and trap disciplines survive without them....and so does Fitasc sporting. I have never understood why English sporting uses them.

I didn't really want to start another thread.

But I cannot believe the disparity in cartridge prices.

Admittedly as 40UP said sometime ago, when you equate the difference in cost per cartridge between the average and the best it actually is not really worth worrying about.

But today I enquired about the cost of Hull Pro -Ones and DTL300 @ £210 per thousand compared to my usual Eley Olympics at £158 per thousand !

 Nearly 33% dearer? I hope they are 33% better than Olympics!

Pete, the hulls are nice and smooth, tried them new lylvale blue the other day at zz, there retailing about £158, not a bad shell, the other option is buy the dear cartridge but shoot less clays, save on the entry ..... Or is that not really an option ?

NIc, the main reason is to control the possible arc of fire, on a ground that has limited space you don't want the possibility of someone managing to shoot another shooting position!

MM ..I know :wink: but the point I am making is that if people obey the rules and know the allowed arc of fire.....like on skeet and trap disciplines.....then there would not be a problem. Trouble is that there is always one who waits until the bird is in the next county before shooting......or sees how near to the ground they can leave it before firing etc etc.......and it is because of this......and the way grounds are laid out......that English sporting has cages.

 

[maddmatt]

Still, the cages didn't help at Southdown when they held the English Open, some shooter still managed to shoot a teal on the drop, problem was he waited sooooo long to shoot it, he actually hit the trap! Which then had to be changed, which then caused a little pile up of squads, now, if it were me I would have disqualified the shooter in question, for safety reasons, harsh but fair I feel.

Exactly.....not to mention that that sort of late shot is either grandstanding...or cheating..! They don't give a toss about shooting traps and ballsing up the competition ...delaying others as well.....because they are selfish shooters.....who have not been introduced into the sport properly.

Blah blah blah

Does not happen in trap .....true story..!

 

[sarachambers]

I think it would be pretty difficult to shoot the trap in a trap discipline ;-)

Nothing is difficult in OT sweetie!!! We just get down in the trench and open fire......simples!! We tarpies do it all the time dear! :laugh:

Sara you have to come to Helice where the traps are shot on a regular basis......but protected by the flap......takes the paint off though.....and is part of the game.....so OK :wink:

 

[EdSolomons]

Those flaps have had quite a hammering...
