ZZ?

[wylye]

With one or two obvious exeptions, does anyone on here know what the two initials, ZZ stand for? No looking it up mind! Have a stab at it.

Don't think it stands for anything

Zinc zurito (according to Chris Potter on a youtube video I watched ages ago).

Like Bebo says. The Zurito was the type of pigeon used in the original format with the first artificials being made with zinc.

Often mistaken for Zig-Zag describing the erratic flight of the new game.

But then, you knew that anyway Ian. ☺

Well I wouldn't have asked the question if I hadn't known the answer !  I'm amazed at the depth of knowledge on this site, every day reveals another layer of useful facts and information that is essential to our shooting lives.

Invicta near Paddock Wood, Kent, A1 SG near Borehamwood, Herts and Rugby CTC near Crick, Northants.

Apparently it's to do with the country it was shot. Early targets were Zinc coated metal targets. Zinc or whatever it is called in that country was abbreviated to ZZ and it stuck..
