FatherandSon Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 I've been shooting clays for a number of years now but only for fun. How do I now progress to shoot competitively? I enjoy sporting but have no idea where to start. Do I get a handicap like in golf? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 (edited) You join CPSA (if in england some other countries too) or WCTSA (if in wales) not sure about scotland and get a number shoot some reg comps and scores get tallied to put you in a class (D-AA) for most then your scores determine your class at regular updates Edited April 5, 2014 by HDAV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatherandSon Posted April 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Great thanks. Can I just ring a shooting ground and book onto a shoot or is it ran like a football league? As I work away 50% of my time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Turn up at any registered (some only accept pre booking by phone/email before the day but most its turn up pay and off you go...) you give your number when you book in and when your card is retunred they log the score with CPSA/WCTSA etc CPSA site best to research, they also publish the list of all registered shoots in england.

V8 90 Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Have a look on the CPSA website - there's a full list of every Discipline - you can filter by area/discipline. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Poon Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 I've not done that many but it's around £30 +/- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 How much do these shoots cost? depends on the ground and discipline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee. Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Get onto www.shootclayforum.com if you have an interest in competative clays. Information on a non-specialist forum may be inaccurate/misinterpreted. I wouldnt ask them for info on hunting/pest control if you get my drift. Altho some of us on this forum are dedicated clay shots too, who dabble in pest control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Churchill Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 FatherandSon, it would help if you put your location in your signature, then maybe someone in your area who shoots competitions would accompany you to a competition. The North V South Pigeon Watch Charity shoot would be a great place to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
