wisdom Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 I fancy a go at it. Any tips and if I go on my own can you release the clay and shoot via a delay setting also is it 5 shots over 5 stands moving along like dtl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spr1985 Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 It’s good fun, a lot like sportrap if you’ve ever shot that. Sporttrap is cpsa governed whereas I believe compak is bictsf and the two have some differences re rules and target presentations. I’d also hazard a guess at @TIGHTCHOKE being your man for a better explanation that what I’ve just written 🤦♂️ Give it a go what’s the worst that can happen 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted May 21, 2022 Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 Good morning Chaps Compak/Compact is quite similar to Sportrap. It is shot from five stands spaced three-to-five metres apart in a line. Shot from cages, shooters do not have to shoot gun-down. At least six traps are placed on the layout which throw FITASC SP style targets, and are labelled alphabetically or numerically. Each stand has a menu telling the shooter what targets they will be shooting at. Shooting goes from left to right. Usually shot with a full team of 5 shooters, taking it in turn. Five targets from each stand, move when every body has shot five from a stand. The targets may be a single, a report pair and a simultaneous pair. But all 5 shooters will shoot the same 25 birds over the duration of the run. Try it, it is great fun and if you are lucky to have a ground near you that runs it some great combinations of targets can be had for practice. Orston in Nottinghamshire is one of my local grounds, they have a set up for practice close to the clubhouse and it always seems to be busy. A great place to try out a new gun.

Didn't you read the one I responded to - it's only on on a Saturday I went Catton yesterday - shot poorly - hopefully I can get there on Wednesday's practice day and I can figure out the ones I done badly - but if it is like that D bird it will be an expensive day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discobob Posted May 26, 2022 Report Share Posted May 26, 2022 Well, after a not great score at Catton on Sunday, I was able to call in there yesterday on the way back from dropping the lad at the Airport with the aim (get it ) of sorting out what I was doing wrong. I didn't learn a thing - because I could hit them all - anyone for a round of golf!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that you learnt that pressure (whether realised or not) has an affect on your ability. It could give you a starting point to work from and help you perform better the next time you’re under pressure whilst shooting. I could of course be completely wrong 😑 so feel free to ignore my comments 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonepark Posted May 26, 2022 Report Share Posted May 26, 2022 Compak is Good fun with a mate (or wife) to Push the button and done at speed, whilst still keeping a decent score. Try 100 inside 10min including cage change time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could of course be completely wrong 😑 so feel free to ignore my comments 😊 It must be subconscious then - in the summer I can only usually go on a registered there due to not being able to go in the week on a Wednesday and it is a relaxed thing as I know I am not in the money ranges - I am (maybe was??) B class in sporting which I was happy with as I have been a skeet shooter predominantly since starting. With the COLC though I am having to make decisions like how much I shoot and missed the previous two or three comps there. So I put it down to mainly being an idiot 🤣 which is a totally realistic statement if you know me One thing I couldn't do though is replicate the presentations due to shooting on Solo Delay and couldn't do the on-report birds so maybe it is also that element that needs work........

discobob Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 Went to NWSS today and only shot the sport trap (no hoops out) - couple of difficult sim combinations- but not exceptionally hard - but not easy - a good balance overall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
