They are NOT joking when they refer to the FLAT.
I like towers, shot a FITASC course in England once, called for the bird from the (very) tall tower, never saw the first one at all. Hit some, once I figured out they needed 16 feet lead, really. You shot and there was a perceptible delay before you heard a clink and saw the bird break into 4 chunks, if you hit it, that is. Would vote for a tower at Flat, if an alien can vote!

Well, actually, fellas, I have dual nationality, born in England, emigrated to Canada at the age of 32. I think of myself as a Limey first, Canuck second. When I open my gob you can plainly hear my dulcet upper-class English tones lightly tripping out.
I live in Canada and obtained Canadian citizenship so I could enter the USA with a lot more ease. Wife and kids all have 2 passports as well.
Makes it a lot easier at Heathrow, we do not have to line up with all the other rubbish!

I agree with Voss! There are too many courses that shy away from close quartering incomming targets for fear of the chance of shooters being showered with clay fragments. With a little thought these incommers can be set so as to minimize the risk of being pelted by pieces of clay.steve voss wrote:Yes, please.

Pairs that are set so that they can be shot as report pairs OR true pairs are also a lot of fun. If set up so that you can take target one or two first, then so much better. More different presentations from a different set of traps is always a great bonus.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite malfunction.
