Head up to Fauxdegla this weekend, over 100 entries as of last weekend for a 2-day dtl shoot

Think its doing better than anything else other than sporting. But your right entries down from what they used to be, current financial situation ie cost of travel etc maybe ?

Had it's day? Not at all. It's as popular now as it has been for years. Many DTL shooters travelled to New Zealand for the World Championships last month and the Krieghoff's already got hundreds booked in..

Poor numbers are specific events are more than likely down to inclement weather. Trap shooters don't usually like shooting in the wind and rain (and Nottingham and District GC gets the worst of these sometimes)  As for Northampton SG, it's not a ground a DTL shooter would visit as there's better targets and backgrounds elsewhere.

DTL's heartland is in the North, particularly Yorkshire and Lancashire. Grounds in that area get the biggest entries.

90 guns at Fauxdegla for the Castellani GP.

I shot poor yesterday, and only a little better today. But its all learning I guess!

11 x 100s yesterday, with 2 x 300. Windier & wetter today though.

At our last DTL comp we had 76 entries, it wasn't a championship either. I don't think that's too bad for an average Sunday in March?
