This scheme will, we hope, work in conjunction with the cartridge manufacturers to get the best prices.

ICTSF World Skeet Championships 2009

These are the latest details available for the World Championships to be held in Doveridge this year. The entry fee is a whoppng £115, for what most people will shoot 150 targets, rather excessive me thinks!

Anyway, here's the info:

Monday 3rd August PM

Competition Dates:
Wednesday 5th August – Sunday 9th August

Entry Fee:
£115 pounds sterling

Targets:
Will be shot over six layouts, with all competitors [510] shooting at 150 targets, [75 targets each day over two non consecutive days] with the top 30% [150]of class and category then going forward to shoot at another 50 targets on Sunday morning. Following the completion of the 200 target stage, any ties down to third position in both class and category will then be shot off for.

Tie Break for Individuals in medal positions:
Will be decided by shooting a further round of 25 targets, if a tie still exists another round of 25 targets will be shot. If a tie still exists, pairs will be shot from station four as laid out in the technical rules until a winner is decided.

Target Sequence:
4.02 25 Targets will be shot at in the following sequence:-
Station 1 Two singles and a double
Station 2 Two singles and a double
Station 3 Two singles
Station 4 Two singles and a double (the shooter must nominate the first target of the double to be shot at)
Station 5 Two singles
Station 6 Two singles and a double

4.04 The first target to be shot at in Doubles on stations 1 and 2 will be the High House, and on stations 6 and 7 will be the Low House.
4.05 Each Competitor must complete their shooting on each stand before leaving that stand, and not move to the next stand before the remainder of the squad has completed the sequence on that stand.

OPTION
4.06 To complete the round of 25 targets, the first missed target will be repeated and the result will be recorded as the twenty-fifth shot. However, should the Competitor hit twenty-four targets in the required sequence on stations one through seven, they shall have the "option" to shoot the twenty-fifth as either a High or Low House target from station seven.

LOADING OF CARTRIDGES
4.07 During the shooting of singles it is compulsory to load two cartridges. Refer to rule 4.63 also on this point.

REPEAT TARGET
4.08 The Referee will call for a “Repeat Target” to be taken after the Competitor has either missed their first target during a round, or after a “No Target”. The Competitor must reload the gun with another cartridge before taking the repeat target.

VIEWING TARGETS
