How do your regular shooters feel that the "new rules" are affecting scores and shooting styles?

Are you still fans of shooting DT?

How has the "spot shot" and counting targets routines been affected?

As an outsider to DT it would be interesting to see how the ISSF rule changes have affected another discipline and if it has altered the approach of the "serious shooters" of DT.

Blimey!!!! Where have all those DT shooters gone?

well we have had no choice but to alter our approach, because on your first line of 10 targets you have got know idea which two from the three traps your going to get, so we have to move alot more than before. After this it is possible to predict at least one target, but it might be the target that you wouldn't normally shoot first from a particular pad. So some shooters are shooting the whole round the same and aren't counting.

Then the finals are different again and you could go two or three lines without knowing what you might get.
