samboy Posted Friday at 18:00 Report Share Posted Friday at 18:00 (edited) I shoot Olympic skeet one week and Sporting the next week. I enjoy them both but find Olympic more challenging. I only shoot ABT and English skeet in the club competitions.But if i had to choose i would go for Sporting by a whisker. I also shoot Compact\Compak and Fitasc but not very often.

Read up on the rules, it can be very unforgiving and chat to the Referee beforehand so he knows you're a newbie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rules really are quite complicated. Have a quick read and give it a go. Super sporting can be considered as a FITASC lite and a good stepping stone into FITASC. Allow up to 6 hours for the shoot as they do like a break them FITASC boys. Typically 25 targets break, 25 targets lunch break, 25 targets another break and then the final 25 targets. Hybrid FITASC shoots can be 50, break, 50 but still a long day. Take a drink and something to eat. Take plenty of cartridges, 150 minimum for a 100 target shoot. Single targets can be shot with the second barrel if missed with the first. You can easily eat through 50 cartridges for a single 25 target parcours if you get some no birds thrown in. I usually shoot around 185-200 cartridges with a 25 bird pool shoot before hand. Edited Friday at 20:09 by Poor Shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
