England FITASC team selection shoot

[Jim Wheeler]

hmmm, in fact, a teal is normally a rising target, , not a Chandelle,, usually going away or towards the shooter. in fitasc, this can then  become a chandelle, due to the change of position.

maybe your thinking of a Battue? (hope I spelt that correctly so the Numpties can learn,,,, as per mr shootinguru  :haha: ,)    a battue  will arc across the shooter, turning and diving quickly.  if set in the spirit of sporting clays.

 

[shootinguru]

Chandelle in French basically translates to candle, but it can also mean "starburst" or shooting star.  So a teal rises and is shot on the rise creating a starburst effect ! not a looper!

 

[Guerini Guy]

So, after a minor French lesson and a discussion regarding not only the flight of targets, but also what they should be called, and ever yet how they should be correctly spelled . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . I take it that it was quite a good shoot then ?   :banghead:

 

[Salopian]

Battue def:- The beating of game towards a stationary Hunter.

Therefore a Battue must be driven towards the stand or hoop !

Otherwise it must be a crosser, looper, or target?

 

[shootinguru]

Peter, I was told a long time ago that the correct way to use a battue is to present it as a driven target!

 

[Salopian]

Serious question.

What ever happened to Rocket Clays?

We don't see many of those used nowadays !

 

[Steve Lovatt]

dont really matter what theyre called or how theyre spelt as we cant write it on the menus anyway , well some of us cant !!!!!!!!

 

[shootinguru]

Peter, The last time I wanted to put a rocket on I could'ent get them so I used an auto rabbit clay and it did the job well,

 

[Salopian]

Hey, Pinky you can beat them without distance and speed you know?

I'll give you a lesson one day !

Simultaneous beats many shooters, mini's beat a few more , Rabbits a few more and Battues a few more .

Then we have a  Mick Howell Teal , jobs a good 'un .

No animals were hurt in the writing of this email apart from a Lovatt.

 

[ExSCA]

After a lengthy French language lesson from SWMBO (Mrs Admin) - I hereby apologise for my misspelling of Chandelle. I will accept my numpty status with grace. 

Also numpties:

Those people at Bowman : http://www.bowmantraps.co.uk/our-products/automatic-traps/supermatch-rabbit-chondel

And those people at Promatic : http://www.promatic.co.uk/announcements/new-ranger-chondel-rabbit

So maybe I picked it up from some other numpty, or maybe it's just an anglicisation of a French word. 

 

[Jeremy Baker]

Looks like another fossil of clay shooting past enjoyed the shoot.
Makes me snigger.
Being young.......and a numpty too.

 

[shootinguru]

Its not an anglicisation of the word but an American bastardization of said word! and why not be a numpty? most of your "admirerers" are :crazy:      As for Jem (Gem) you gotta be the original? :hunter:  

 

[ExSCA]

That is 'admirers' if we are on spelling...

 

[Jeremy Baker]

And Jem short for Jeremy.....

 

[teepee1234]

[ExSCA]

[Jim Wheeler]

[teepee1234]
