OK

Rules for trap will change with immediate effect after the world cup final.

At the moment the top 6 will qualify to go into a single barrel final

the new final will still be single barrel but will follow the same format as that of archery

Any trap shooters here ?

I was hopping Emet will chime in and share his thoughts

So, they are going to shoot two shots at every bird and then switch to a single shot? Why?
Found this:
"In 2005, the final rules were changed so that only one shot can now be taken at each target, as opposed to two in the qualification round."
I hasve shot International a few times, but not recently.

Hi Peter

It will still be single barrel finals

But the format will be like that of archery rather than 6 finalists in a single 25 flash target round

I have not actually read the ISSF bulletin yet so I don't know about the "PAUSE" which is mandatory for TV commentary

So did you compete during the 32 grams days ?

How do you find the 24 grams game ?

I spoke to venturinni last November when I was training there and got an insight into how it was like Pre-24. Grams

I shot a few times but did not compete in formal competition. The closest range to me is Gainsville about 50 miles away.

Interesting. I have never shot international trap, though I used to do a bit of amateurish trap shooting of the Americanized version.

I really preferred doubles skeet shooting most of the time, as it seemed to improve my swing(s) the most for field live bird shooting.

Trap was a great tune-up for fall jumping of ducks off of puddles (small, brushy, ponds), but I really preferred to hunt grouse, quail and "huns" in cut-over grain fields so I mostly shot skeet when plinking clays.

Had a very nice cased W.W. Greener 12 with 4 sets of barrels which I bought used in London in 1972 which was excellent for both kinds of hunting. And with its 30-inch full and full set, it was pretty decent for pass shooting mallards too.

I am always amazed at what international regulating bodies do with and to the shooting sports. Guess the Olympics are just as political as anything else.

You might be interested to know

My club's Origianl name was REGENT SHOOTING GROUND

That's because in 1929 the club was owned by BOSS. The gunmaker and it was located in regents park in central London !

Serious

Then it moved to Brent cross and then to its present location as London expanded

I dug up some glass fragments a few weeks ago which I think were original glass balls they used as targets in the 1920's

Can you imagine a shooting clubc since 1929. ,
