manthing Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 Please excuse my ignorance, still new to this. What are these. I shoot mainly what I think is sporting ie you stand in a "stand" shout pull and the clays are shot, hopefully lol. What are flush stands, I might go to a charity shoot in a couple of weeks and they have 30 on "Standard traps" and 25 on "Flush Stands". Just wondering what I'm letting mesen in for. Tia.

JJsDad Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 (edited) A `flush` is supposed to simulate a flush (or group) of Pheasants being driven over a small team of Guns, usually 4, but a fun day could be for an individual or a team of 2. A flush will consist of (for example) anything up to 100 or more clays thrown in groups over the line of guns by several traps. Its not just a challenge of marksmanship but of gun handling and swift re-loading. There also needs to be a good understanding in the team of who shoots what, to prevent members in the team all shooting at the same `bird`. The knack is to never have all the team wth empty guns at the same time. The release of the clays is usually in groups rather than a solid stream, giving Guns a few seconds to re-load but periodically a sneaky single follows a group which is desgned to catch out the team who are desperatly trying to re-load. Good fun to watch particulary an experienced team who have practised together. Also geat sport to take part in but you need some friends to form a team and a bit of practice and understanding of how you are going to take the `birds`. An individual flush will consist of groups of 2 to 3 or single clays being driven over the Gun to see how many of the 25 you can kill.
