  1. It's ALL in the SETTINGS......................
  2. Don't shoot the Messenger, I only put the details up as Tedward couldn't find it.
  3. Not these days, but back then some boxes would have 5 or even 7 with more lead and less powder than was correct, or the other way round. In the "OLD Days" hand loading by children still went on over-seas.
  4. ERSATZ Coffee......................

    First cut

    Already done the second cut on the front lawns, weed and feed applied, looking nice and green. So much better than the neighbours scruffy efforts.
  6. The CPSA's reasoning is to come in line with the rules of the INTERNATIONAL SHOOTING SPORTS FEDERATION. Here is the update; CPSA General and Technical Rules Addendum 27/03/2024 The ISSF have brought in the below rules in Olympic Trap and Olympic Skeet for safety reasons. Please note that all Olympic Trap and Olympic Skeet registered shoots should follow the updated rules. 9.2.2 c) All shotguns must be kept unloaded except on the shooting station and only then after the command or signal “START” has been given. d) Cartridges must not be loaded in the shotgun until the athlete is standing on the shooting station, facing the machines with the shotgun pointed towards the target flight area and after the Referee has given permission. 9.4.2.1 Types of Shotguns a) All types of smoothbore shotguns, but excluding semi-automatics and pump action shotguns, may be used, provided their calibre does not exceed 396 EDITION 2022 (First Print 01/2023) Effective 1 January 2022 © ISSF 12 gauge. Shotguns smaller than 12 gauge may be used. 9.4.2.2 Release Triggers Shotguns with any type of “release” trigger mechanisms are prohibited. After reviewing the above, the board have looked at the home trap disciplines and, following the ISSF precedent, have updated the DTL and ABT rules to the following: DTL & ABT Semi-automatic guns are now prohibited for safety reasons in DTL and ABT registered shoots. 2.28 All types of guns, including “Semi-automatics”, “Pump-action”, 12bore and smaller may be used for shooting, apart from in DTL and ABT shoots where semi-automatic use is prohibited. No handicap will be given to competitors using guns of a calibre smaller than 12bore. ABT In ABT the gun must now be unloaded between stations. 27.26 All guns must be carried OPEN AND COMPLETELY UNLOADED when moving between stations 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 on the firing line. 27.30 The competitor is not allowed to turn from the shooting station before their gun is OPENED AND COMPLETELY UNLOADED. When a broken target is thrown or the shooting is interrupted, the gun must be opened. No gun shall be closed until the order to continue has been given.
  7. Bottom right hand corner, little box states "SKIP AD"
  8. Have you actually been to the Club yet? They will be able to answer all of your questions and assist you in your application.
  9. Having put Argos Folding Seat in to Google it offered me this; https://www.argos.co.uk/product/8996130?istCompanyId=a74d8886-5df9-4baa-b776-166b3bf9111c&istFeedId=c290d9a9-b5d6-423c-841d-2a559621874c&istItemId=iatlqtqqx&istBid=t&&cmpid=GS001&_$ja=tsid:59157|acid:629-618-1342|cid:20368875273|agid:|tid:|crid:|nw:x|rnd:12123435539588223487|dvc:c|adp:|mt:|loc:9044875&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=20368875273&utm_term=8996130&utm_content=shopping&utm_custom1=&utm_custom2=629-618-1342&GPDP=true&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMInr6Cu7SghQMVeIxQBh3N_w5QEAQYAiABEgKC6vD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
  10. An interesting film, that Ditchman apparently hasn't seen......................
  11. A lot of revised rules are just falling in to place from the 31st of March. Many of the trap disciplines are now not allowed to be shot with self loaders. https://www.cpsa.co.uk/news/general/2024/03/28/cpsa-general-and-technical-rules-addendum/6025 It is to fall in line with ISSF rules.
  12. It's all down to the degree of dilution..................
  13. Made for the American market.........................
  14. I disagree, if we just stop what we have been doing for years it is limiting us rather than educating the NIMBY's.
  15. Certainly, FITASC is a Sporting Discipline, harder than usual sporting clays and you used to be allowed 36 gramme loads at one point that dropped to 32 Gramme loads years ago. "Fédération Internationale de Tir aux Armes Sportives de Chasse is an international sport federation for sport shooting, specifically clay pigeon shooting similar to sporting clays" It is VERY expensive to shoot due to the amount of manpower and time taken to get round the course or courses. Subsequently not many shooters can get round in a day. Regarded as the Pinnacle of sporting clay shooting
  16. I still have a quantity of my usual FITASC rounds from the OLD DAYS.......................................
  17. Is in the eye of the beholder.................................
