More ISSF enforced ******** based on nothing more than prejudice.

Sounds just like the UCI and cycling.

Here we go again  a shooters worst enemy is his fellow shooters and the shooter organisations  which should have been under one roof after Hungerford  when  it all started .

Sounds like they're reviewing the ban on semi-auto's for DTL and ABT.

Interesting, nice to see a Shooting Organisation listening to its Members.

I’m going to be biased as a CPSA member, but this is some good stuff from CPSA!!!

 Every time I have dealt with them, including courses….they have always given top notch service!

[bostonmick]

this type of statement from cpsa that semi and pump banned for safety reasons is a gift for the anti shooting brigade.this will be turned into the organisation saying they are dangerous and then lead to a further push to ban private ownership of any guns.

[Westley]

There are NO dangerous guns  !

Until someone picks them up.

Can't speak for trap but I thought the major reason people shooting skeet used semi autos was health problems that appeared with old age/post accidents. CPSA want to watch how they are discriminating against people.

The only danger that I have witnessed on a trap layout concerned spent cartridge cases laying on a concrete floor. The gun moving from peg 5 to peg 1, stood on a cartridge case which rolled under his foot, causing him to sit on the floor rather rapidly. I used a semi auto for all of my clay shooting in the 60's and 70's. I had a Remmie 1100 trap and Skeet, plus a 1/2 choke barrel. They were used for Sporting,  Trap and Skeet.  Mind you, they were 32 gram Winchester AA cartridges. It was acceptable to move pegs with a cartridge in the gun, the gun was pointing skywards all of the time, except when shooting. Moving from peg 5 to 1 required the gun to be empty. We had cartridge stands at each peg then, so it was a simple matter to put 5 cartridges in the tray. When the 5th cartridge went in, you fired 2 shots, the gun was then empty ready for the move.

The great Duncan Lawton won two World FITASC Championships with his Remington 1100 and the late Jim Stafford shot many DTL straights with his Remmy.

Nobody should be allowed to own, let alone actually use, any sort of gun that I don't personally either own or personally approve of. Blah, blah, blah. Happily for me I own two Browning Auto 5 including a scare trap stocked one in 12 bore and one Browning Auto 5 in 16 bore. My membership of the Shooting Sub Chapter of the Holier Than Thou Society being sadly cancelled because of that.

The trap club I shoot there’s not anyone who shots a semi as it’s ackward with shells ejecting up the line But I don’t think anyone would be turned away if they arrived with a semi automatic
