Thread: anyone shooting nationals and world's this week?

The Canterbury comment didn't go unnoticed!
Looks like the Aussies are holding their own looking at results on NZCTA website: http://www.nzclaytarget.org.nz/incl/getpdf.php?id=1650

I'd rather shoot a couple 25's in sporting than 100 straight in skeet or DTL any day.

Yeah 100 dtl is certainly nothing to write home about. 100 trench would be pretty awesome, very few nzers have done that. Possibly only 1 of the top of my head

Gunna give trench a go now I have some time. Do you need a high gun or will my dirty blaser sporter be suffice?
Bearing in mind quartering and straight away targets are my bogey birds in sporting.

Typically shot with a high gun as that's how euro shooters roll. Straight and slight quarting targets are pretty challenging for me also as my eyes light up when you see it come out and usually end up moving with the flash and then stopping my gun and shooting under it.

I shoot a high gun for everything (not as high as some)

Dirty blaser should be just fine for now ha ha

I will give you a buzz and boot over for a shot in chch sometime.

I shoot DTL with a flat gun but was thinking those trench targets can pop out high like ball trap?

Yip all depends what program is set, they throw the program in the morning so you will no all the possible targets before you shoot (don't no what order) so if there is a nasty target you can set for it on the station.

Good luck jock :thumbup:

Head on the Stock , Eye on the rock
Good luck.

Now I know Ken you're not a stand on concrete and shoot mud pies man, well you wern't before going over there!!!!!
Just watched a story on Stuff of Miss Rooney not a hill, gully or tower in sight!! Only one type of target, it would be good to have a NZ allround Championship using 4/5 disciplines.

Madds. It is an idea I have had for a long time. Not just shotgun but a comp that includes some rifle shooting as well. An all round thing. Best of the best sort of thing.
Only allowed to use one shotgun with no alterations and one rifle.

Are you a Kiwi Ken?

It's called 3gun, but we could make it 2gun just for you. Or multigun 2 gun, shoot steel from 100- to whatever then make rifle safe and run to traps to shoot some clays

Na not even close to what I am thinking.
A 2 day event but not mixing the disciplines up on the same day.
Shotgun one day. Rifle the next.
Thinking 50 DTL 50 Skeet 50 sporting.
Rifle will be a 3 match event as well.
No gun alterations allowed. Even chokes on the shottys.

Remember the " King of the Castle " shoots Sullivan used to sponsor .
Well we had a similar thing for our Christmas shoot here last December .

25 x DTL - 25 x Skeet - 25 x 5 Stand - 25 Tower .
The winner has " bragging rights " for a whole year because they are the best overall shooter in the club
I shot well in the Skeet and 5 stand , Ok in the Tower and terrible in the DTL , so no bragging rights for me I'm afraid .
It was a great day and everyone , no matter what discipline of shooter enjoyed it .
This year our club is talking about making it into a two day event and really advertising it to get other clubs to enter .

Clay shooting needs to step outside its individual discipline comfort zones a bit more in my opinion , and for a couple of times a year remind itself that its supposed to be about having fun .

The funniest thing to watch was the DTL shooters , they didn't quite get or understand when all the rest of us were giving each other shit and sledging during the actual shooting .
By the end of the day they were giving it as good as they got , and you could see that that felt like naughty school boys for even daring to laugh at someone else's misfortune or yip and cheer if someone pulled of a lucky shot .
I hold no ill feeling towards Trap shooters , and I'm the first to admit the mental skill required to master that game .
But between you and me , they are on average some of the most humourless , boring Wankers that ever passed the gun licence test .
