Chris Bb Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 One of our local grounds has introduced 70mm clays and tells us they're becoming more common. So, apart from rabbits & battues we already have standards (110mm), midis (90mm) and minis (60mm), the 70mm's come in between the last two. I know that, in competition ESP, 60% of targets have to be standard so why introduce yet another size? Are/will 70mm's (be) accepted? As an aside, very few grounds in this area use either battues or minis; none use the also accepted helice or rockets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 I personally would be glad to see the back of the current mini clay as its flight characteristics are erratic and on occasion they get thrown as mere eye sight tests, you know those lazy incomers that die 55 yards in front of the stand , the new 70mm sound quite good to me.

grrclark Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 I understand that the 70mm target still offers the same challenge as the regular mini, but gives a more stable and repeatable flight so I guess as a replacement and not an addition it is a good thing.

Jordigrayyorkschamp Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 There an awesome target to shoot Very tricky and deceptive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingo15 Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Shot some the other week at Kegworth. They seem to leave the trap at warp speed like a mini but seem to loose speed quicker. Plus as said you don't need the hubble telescope to see them and they seem more stable in flight. The cpsa have taken them on board so can't be all that bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
