    Time for shot

    Two factors come into play here. The microphones close for four seconds to permit firing plus the hooter; the previous shooter may have a no-target even though he fires and not all referees give an audible warning. Watch the previous target down to the ground then commence your routine. Even Ian...

    What Gun and Cartridge do you use

    Never seen a Violet case for Express. Best 24gm Express was their 24gm Supreme with so-called 8% shot. Marcus says it can't be made now. .

    Gun/Cartridge regulation.

    I went through this process some time ago with a one-armed gunsmith at the old Westley Richards works when they were in downtown Bourneville. The pattern plate in those days was on the canal towpath - we just went outside and blasted away. The requirements are easier for a fixed choke trap gun...

    Safety

    How many times do you have to tell them. Don't close the gun without the toplever locked over. Snaps the toplever spindle.

    game v sporter

    It must be technique. I asked Tom at Hodnet why all the EELL guns had hopelessly low combs. You're holding it wrong he said you're not s'posed to press your head down like that. Right.

    Ear Muffs

    No Peltor is the one for trap shooting under covers. Things like beretta brand are ok for outdoors but no good in a shed with metal roof and concrete floor

    Trap shooting - looooong way ahead, how long?

    Do your gunmounts at home even Olympic champions do that. I noticed your Polish team members clicking away in the corner last month which raised a few eyebrows as we don't normally fire on empty barrels. Watch your balance - we don't shoot off one leg as you need to rotate in either direction...

    Trap shooting - looooong way ahead, how long?

    Hi Jacob I'll assume you're still taking your first steps at Olympic trap. If you can get on a layout alone shoot single barrel until you can manage 50%. Next stage is 2 barrel shooting until you can hit 20 in a round then you can enter a competition shoot with some confidence. When you reach 20...

    Sporting or Trap? and why?

    Hi, 686 would do the job provided you have an adjustable comb. The main requirement is to set to near parallel without the slope of a sporting comb [not much requirement for overhead shots in trap]

    Nickel Perazzis and Rusting

    As an engineer I doubt you would neglect any gun sufficient for rust to form. Only some bright action Perazzi are nickel plated, the engraved ones aren't. Bluing wears off faster than nickel and the worn bluing ones don't particularly rust. I have a 30yr old SC3 neither nickel nor bluing and it...

    What makes a DTL cartridge?

    DTL has always been cartridge code for lower velocity which traditionally gave slightly tighter/more even patterns by dint of less pellet damage and naturally less recoil for second target acquisition. Pro One DTL supposedly 50fps slower than Pro One certainly a softer cartridge and softer than...

    Clever Mirage Cartridges

    My interpretation of Mr Darkside is that the fibre wad caused a one quarter choke wider pattern than the plastic wad fired through the same barrel
