I did say the scores reflect a balanced shoot.Not in my experience, c class is won with 80 to 85 minimum, B looks to me to be about 90 then there's the 90 plusses club.
I started this game in January and was recently bumped into B class at my local club ( relatively easy targets and you get a midweek practice! ) but I'm still clawing my way up the official C class.
In 10 months I have spent north of £12k on 14000 shells and clays, two guns, entering 20 plus odd sporting, fitasc and compak shoots and driving all over the South/southeast uk and had a ball! I am fortunate to be able to afford to spend some money but the thought of donating money to someone with years of experience every week would stop me cold. I'd stick to club shooting.
The class system gives me the opportunity to get 'on the podium' against my peers, middle aged old farts with very little hope of ever beating GD at shooting even if only because I don't have 40 years left to gain the experience in!
The cream will rise to the top, in any sport, the Olympians and world champions always find their level but forcing everyone to compete against the 'supermen' robs every sport of the rank and file that make up the vast majority of club members, national body subscribers, tuition customers and purchasers of used and new hardware.
If C is being won with 85 and B 90 then its to easy.
66% is C so why are these people in C?
I have not seen regular scores as you suggest at the grounds I shoot.
We are talking Sporting here not trap. Lot of Trap talk on this post.
