I’ve Never Shot a Gun Before ...

Is this a Safe Sport for Beginners?Membership at a centre such as this offers you the finest and safest means of learning to shoot from scratch. In addition to personal help from qualified coaches, a variety of local and regional clinics are held each year for the beginner and the advanced shooter. Rigid safety rules are enforced strictly at all times for your protection and the safety of others.

Is Shooting an Expensive Sport?It depends on your personal objectives. You can have a life-time of fun and fellowship in a local club in return for a small investment in the shotgun of your choice, safety gear and modest ammunition costs. On the other hand, if shooting all regional and national tournaments is what you prefer, then, like any other form of recreation, the costs can be as high as your ambitions and budgets will let them go.

What Kind of People areClaybird Shooters?The Best Kind!Men and women of all walks of life who believe in the safe handling of guns, who take pride in shooting well and who enjoy competing with themselves and others for prizes, self-satisfaction and self-achievement. In most clubs you will find a wide cross-section of wives, husbands, children and grand-parents alike.

What is Trap?The word “trap” refers to the usage of a trap in which a live bird was placed and released on command whereby an at-tempt was then made to shoot it. The earliest printed descrip-tion of this sport was in February 1793 in England. It became one of England’s most popular sports and migrated to the United States in 1831. The evolution of the sport replaced live birds with glass balls and then clay targets. The clay is called a “bird”, and the machine which throws the bird is the “trap” and it is housed in a “trap house”.

What Constitutes a Round of Trap?A round for one person consists of 25 shots, five each from five shooting stations, the object being to score the greatest number of broken targets.

What is Skeet?The term “skeet” refers to an old Scandinavian word meaning “to shoot”. It stands for a competitive, target shooting sport that was invented in America in 1920 by several Massachusetts men who wanted to improve their aim before hunting season. Their system of simulating the flight patterns of live birds with hand-propelled clay targets began as a spirited game between hunters. Today, a modern version of that game has become an international sport in its own right for non-hunters and hunters alike. It is the skill and thrill of marksmanship that unites all skeet shooters.

What Constitutes a Round of Skeet?A round of skeet for one person consists of 25 shots, the ob-ject being to score the greatest number of broken targets. The first shot scored last in any round shall berepeated immediate-ly and the result is scored as the twen-ty-fifth shot. Should the first 24 targets of a round be scored as broken, the shooter shall take his option-al shot, a low house eight only.
