Fitasc or Compact at Handcross a dilema

Dave P · Mar 4, 2014

Hi as you are probably aware we use our High Beeches ground at Handcross Sussex

mainly for Sporting although the ground is very pretty it is heavily wooded and is quite capable of doing Compact or Sportrap but two of the openings are not quite big enough for a Fitasc layout but just about do a Compact.

We have thought about a 3 layout fitasc with 4 pegs per layout and two layouts say 33 and 1 layout 34 targets, I know this can place a limit on the squads as the time taken for each layout would be an hour, we have plenty of room for the 3 layouts. I just wonder what other peoples thoughts are and if there is enough demand for 100.

we have a 70 Sporting this Sunday and we welcome peoples comments or thoughts.

I think a regular compak would be great... People will want to learn the format in prep for the selection shoots.... It's good fun... Squads can organise and shoot together.... Or you can squad up solo arrivals...

without seeing a plan/layout schematic, difficult to answer,, a possible is to split into 1 fitasc, of 4 stands,of 10 targets with 2 pair a stand,,2 fitasc compak ranges with 6 targets a stand. the waiting time for 2 compak or FSP is about equal. not ideal, may be not popular,,depends on open or reg' shoot.

or chop a few tree's, and do it traditionally!
