CLYNT SAYS ,WHAT TYPE OF SHOOT IS GOOD FOR THE FUTURE OF THE SPORT LONG TERM??
For me personally it,s got to be variation of targets, bit of everything, Driven, Close crossers,long crossers, Duck (from behind) Teal, quartering fast and slow,loupers rabbits etc, even different coloured clays make it more interesting, nothing worse than a hundred black standard clay,s imo.
No ground owner is going to keep everyone happy as they,re trying to cater for shooters ranging from beginers to top internationals all shooting at the same targets,so there has to be a balance, some easy, some hard.
The top shooters don,t want to be shooting straight at everything but on the other hand if you want new people,youngsters etc to come into a very expensive sport they don,t want to be demoralised everyweek they need to enjoy it, and this means by breaking targets, so how many soft compared to how many hard targets,???? who knows, this is where everyone has a differing opinion,for me personally get more of a thrill out of sooting a real long target than an on the end of the barrel job but at the same time i wouldn,t want to shoot a hundred of them week in week out.
For me,Nigel hart (st dials) steve lovatt (westonwood,westfield) and ian stones(wylie) usually strike a good balance,always plenty of variety to suit all abilities.
