Bloody auto correct. It was actually very nice. Loads of pretty colours but alas only a sixth of the size it needed to be.

How are the bib numbers determined for the final?from what i can see ,in the event of a tie a low number is bad because the lowest number shoots first then the others shoot the same target.

It's only bad if you are someone who likes to know where the target is going and try and spot shoot it/adjust to give yourself a bit of an advantage. If you are shooting what comes out the trap it doesn't matter if your first or last.

Ive downlaoded the rules and 4 hundred plus pages later found out its down to a random draw.knowing the line and spot shooting it i believe is a massive advantage ,the Belgium in the final was swinging his gun up the line of flight as he called but fernandez thankfully was in the zone and didnt look like he was ever going to miss.

 

[Andrew.Addison]

I would say that the reason Peeters lost is because he was moving. The one that he missed in the end he was moving in the direction of the target but far to flat and had to adjust upwards when the target came out, he was treading a very fine line with that tactic.

I would of liked to see the  shoot off for sixth that edd won,to see who used what  method.
