HDAV Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 (edited) Shot is is normally used for skeet and close targets as you gets of them in cart but they loose energy faster and are smaller/lighter than the usual 7.5 shot size (largest allowed in most clay comps) Also being Plaswad not suitable for all grounds Edited December 14, 2012 by HDAV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lock Stock & Barrel Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 If you do want a shell manufacturer who caters for all types of shooting (clay, game, even rifles) then I can recommend Fiocchi - they even do a steel shot (as opposed to lead) range too. For clays, you won't go far wrong with their Fiocchi Top 1 (28g, 7.5) Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTL is all going away shots at varying angles its a "trap" discipline start mounted with bead on the top of the trap house and off you go. Just remember to empty your gun when moving stands and don't close it till your turn to shoot, if haven't shot in a "squad" before its a bit different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OddJob Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Anything that is up to 28g and between 7 and 8. They all go bang and all break clays if you put them in the right place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 24g #8s are it for me, i`d only use 1oz of 7.5s when there are extreme shots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortune Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Anything that is up to 28g and between 7 and 8. They all go bang and all break clays if you put them in the right place. Club If they got lead in them and they go bang all you got to do is put the lead on the target and hey presto. Far to much wory about what cartridges and which choke to stick in. not enough thought about the target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrapFiller Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 28 gram 7.5 and quarter and half choke is what I use and they dust them most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like one layout DTL (down the line) ABT (Automatic ball trap) and then some compak. So will probably be shot as a squad. DTL and ABT are very similar, Compak is clays shot from a trap line but a mix of birds, normally a mix of birds, teals, crossers etc Just relax and have fun and explain to the ref/scorer its your first time shooting the discipline and you'll be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MITCHF Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Used GB Blue Diamonds for the last couple of years, won't change. 9's for skeet, 7.5 for everything else. Great shell IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
