Rule changes

[Jan Powell]

Rule changes have been introduced for DTL, ABT, OT and OSK. This places the CPSA in line with the ISSF. Key amongst them is the prohibition of semi automatic and pump action shotguns for registered events. This is with immediate effect.

Thank you for sharing.

Should this not have been announced on MONDAY ?

As an auto user, is this not " against me yuman rites".........???

Now where did I put that bloomin legal aid application ?

 

[jasper]

Too right Mr Westley. It seems we don't need any one to help us ban shooting. We're doing it ourselves. It's a slippery slope from here.

Ha, policing this is going to be fun for ABT and DTL. I can see that for ABT just about everyone will ignore it as the shooters referee each other.
I'll wait to see how they do it for domestic comps in Italy etc. I bet pound to a pinch they will not be expected to adhere to this and nothing will change.

Also in DTL, guns MUST be unloaded when walking between ALL pegs....not just between 5 and 1.

Its already has !

I thought one of the pathetic reasons for banning semi auto's in Trap disciplines, was the distraction caused by the ejected empty cases. If a cow broke wind in the next field, some shooters were claiming a baulk ! HOW on Gods earth are they going to cope with checking each others guns during shooting ??

I just can't see it happening.

On the CPSA web page under the heading ABT it states that guns must be unloaded moving between pegs, it doesn’t mention DTL.

You don't know the cows where I shoot !

Release trigger mechanisms banned too. Am I right in thinking you use one Jan

Apologies all. I have been misinformed. It does NOT include DTL.

Aren't they illegal in the UK?
I always thought they where an American thing.

Excuse my ignorance, I've never shot any trap disciplines, but why would anybody walk between pegs with a loaded (but open) gun?

No, they are not banned. A number of fitasc shooters use them, allegedly it helps to cure a flinch

It happens more than you can imagine, idleness I suppose. More often than not it's the second barrel

As Wyn says they aren't banned, but IIRC guns set up for release trigger should have visible letter "R" on the stock to inform others, particularly the ref, as extra care is needed when such a gun has to be unloaded due to say a no bird, if the trigger has been pulled but not released.

I do, as do several others. They’re not banned by the CPSA, only the ISSF for events under their jurisdiction.
