SPEEDS

[Robden]

Where can I find what the speed of the clays should be, for the different trap disciplines?

TIA.

Not sure if that is possible. Its easy to find the required distance the clay must travel for the different trap disciplines on the CPSA site.

I had a look at UT last weekend and all I can say is that an orange aspirin takes off for the horizon at about 200mph. Impossible!

I believe sportrap is 61-64mph, but don't know about the others.

The CPSA lists all of the criteria within their site.

That's where I've been looking but can't find anything speed related...........it's probably me to be fair.

Three shooting grounds have been independently checked by board members, confirming compliance with the correct target distance for the Trap and Skeet disciplines the speed measured related to the guide details.

From 1st April 2012 the Standard practice for grounds is a target as set out in the discipline rules.

The three grounds checked by the board, already use a Speed Gun as a target measurement set up tool.
