ANNUAIRE FRANCAIS DU BALL-TRAP

Bonjour,

pour inaugurer les nouveaux forums, voici une nouvelle qui vient de nous parvenir.

Le réglement du Double trap vient de changer, en effet un timer va faire son apparition comme au skeet.
Le temps entre le commandement du plateau et le déclenchement des machines sera entre 0 et 1 seconde.

Voici ci-dessous le communiqué de l'ISSF:

ISSF RULES
CHANGES DOUBLE TRAP

Owing to safety considerations the following rule changes have been proposed by the Shotgun Committee as urgent matter and therefore the Administrative Council has approved and decided these rule changes which become effective as of 1. January 2003.
Please contact the manufacturers of your double trap machines for the changes necessary. If you need any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact the ISSF Headquarters.

CORRECTION of ISSF RULES 2001
EDITION 2001

3rd Errata dated 25th November 2002 for the first printing or
2nd Errata for the second printing or
1st Errata for the third printing

6.3.21.2.5   
The traps must be released by an electric-manual or an  electric-microphone system fitted with a timer device. The control system must be placed in such a position so that the operator can clearly see and hear the shooter’s call. For all ISSF championships an automatic timer must be used. The timer device must be set to release the targets within the period varying randomly from zero (0) to one (1) second after the shooter’s call. The system must guarantee the simultaneous release of the two (2) targets from the predetermined traps.  Where an electric-manual system is used, the release device must be designed so that only one (1) button or switch can be used to release the targets.

D.9.6.3.3   
When the shooter is READY to fire, he must call crisply and loudly “PULL”, LOS”, “GO”, or some other signal or command, after which the targets must be released simultaneously within the period varying randomly from zero (0) to one (1) second. The shooter must not leave his station until the shooter on his right side has fired at a regular double and the result is declared, except when the shooter has completed shooting on Station 5. In this case, he must proceed immediately to Station 1 (6) being careful not to disturb the shooters on the line (see Rule D.9.6.3.7).

D.9.6.3.7.2
Renumbered to D.9.6.3.7.1 and read as following:If a double is not thrown in the specified time after the shooter’s call, the shooter may refuse the double by removing the gun from his shoulder, or changing his READY position. Following or pointing at the targets with the gun is not permitted (Rule 9.6.1.7 will apply).

D.9.6.3.14.1.2
the targets are not thrown within the specified time limit after the shooter’s call and the shooter has refused the targets according to Rule D.9.6.3.7.1

The setting “C” must be used for the “FINAL” competitions and any shoot offs before and after the “Final”. It is very important to set the same elevation of 3m as accurately as possible for both traps.
