Dubai Tournament

One can only hope that these targets are well flung.

Clynt......I would think that they will run 4 layouts...like normal Fitasc major comps, changing it slightly after the 2nd day for the second 100 targets.

Everyone gets the chance to shoot the same layouts.

Turns out the hotels are near to Mall of the Emirates. Suddenly my wife is all interested! Being parents to our 13 year old kills this for us though. Bless him..

The finals are shot after the last competitor has fired the last shot. So there is 4 days shown. (Number 7 in the T&C's.)

It is not normal to have a separate full day for a final.

So Sunday , Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, 50 each day, and final when all finished probably late afternoon.

Ok so the event still finishes on the Wednesday, that was my major concern

I know exactly where Clynt is comming from, if this shoot is not run 110% effeciently it will fail!

If you shoot 50 targets on the last day you cannot collate all the scores until shooting has finished and all the scores are brought in from all the layouts!

Only then can you call the shooters to the shoot off final, then after that you have the speeches  after that the prize giving  ceremony! I hope no Brits have to fly home Wednesday because of work commitments?

Its probably better if they don't get more than 600 shooters because thats 100 squads and without International referees to push the squads along it can back up badly and run late, this is where you need experience of running such a large shoot! I just hope that it comes off?

I would hope Guru that anyone going all the way out there would have booked their flight back the next day (Thursday). Because presentations as you know at the big shoots can often be quite late in the day. Many a podium picture taken in the failing light.....or dark :laugh:

No Mirrors in Berkshire?

I do not have much need for mirrors.

got to be better than the conditions on Sunday, so its a win win as far as I'm concerned

If they get 300 shooters that will be it! So don't worry about logistics!

[EdLyons]

I reckon theres going to be a couple hundred from the uk alone!

 

[shootinguru]

Henry is the CEO of the Canadian Fitasc Federation and they have 4 members! :fie:

Err lets think shall we, 150 from Cyprus (fact), 60 from Russia (fact) , 400 from UAE. 70 from the USA, 200 or so from the UK, 8 from Belgium and we have not counted the Frogs yet? 888 so far, I bet there will be a waiting list! Shooters see someone prepared to spend $735,000 and will support them.

This is going to be a fantastic event....I can feel it in my bones......

Just wish they would do trap next time. :wink:

 

[chubby]

If they spoil it with trarp they would only get retired people like you :crazy:

 

[shootinguru]

Right! Chubby, you have more info on this than me?  How many entries and how much is the bet?

I was not thinking of me (unless they put a Helice event one :wink: )

I was thinking of the 'good' trap shooters....

 

[ExSCA]

I may have missed news about this Nic - did you go to Egypt for that big Helice event in Cairo last year?

I have to say, I didn't see any press about that, so maybe it didn't happen?  Apologies if I've missed something here but your comment about Helice in the desert reminded me.
