I note there has been some discussion amongst the national bodies ICTSC, WCTSA and CPSA regarding the setting of ABT targets by speed rather than distance.
The general thinking being that setting by speed is fairer than setting by distance? This would certainly seem to be the case when trying to set targets in windy conditions.
Apparently the ICTSC have proposed that target speed should be 57mph (+-1mph) for a 2 metre target (I assume they mean a straight target, measured at a height of 2 metres above the ground at a distance of 10 metres from the trap arm) and that for a trial period ABT is a discipline set by speed and not distance.
