It's really not complicated! A puff of dust is not a hit whereas a cloud of dust is a hit.
thats just a normal kill for me.to describe a clay that vanishes into thin air we tend to say things like smoke or vapour.
Effectively then, unless the clay is seen to be incomplete, it’s a miss. That’s what I thought, thanks..It's really not complicated! A puff of dust is not a hit whereas a cloud of dust is a hit.
If those referenced "holes" are meant to be pellet holes and not just chunks blown out of the interior that is the stupidest rule I've ever seen!TARGET DEFINITION “HIT” A regular target that in the opinion of the Referee only: 3.10 Has had a visible piece broken from it, is completely destroyed or, in the case of targets that are presented whole and during flight holes are seen to appear which have been caused by the Competitor’s shot.
Sorry for the confusion, at least in my part of the USA dusting it and smoking it carry the same meanings you've stated.Over here "dusted" usually implies that the clay received a glancing blow which knocked a little dust off but failed to break the clay, to describe a clay that vanishes into thin air we tend to say things like smoke or vapour. Apparently the term dusted is taken to mean "smoked" stateside.
Be careful! Dangerous results may arise if rational thought interferes with some average card goals!Best if everyone stuck to the simple rule. Visible piece off the clay. Otherwise how do you gauge how much dust or how much deviation constitutes a hit or miss. Also clays can and do deviate through wind conditions so those less scrupulous shooters would be claiming every missed bird as a hit when the wind blows.
