With the up coming New Zealand Compak Championship and the move away from 5-Stand, we thought we would highlight some of the changes coming your way. Hopefully most of you have read over the Compak rules by now and you are quite familiar with the changes, however here is a brief summary.
Largely there is little difference between the two apart from some minor procedure changes and slightly more defined target trajectories.
Shooting procedure:
- 6 Man squads.
- The extra shooter waits behind stand 1 to view the targets.
- Stand 1 shoots first after each stand change.
- Gun mount is free ie. you can shoot gun up on any target.
- No sighters, the targets will be shown at the beginning of the day, squads must backup to view the targets.
- Once shooting starts, shooters are allowed only 10 seconds between targets.
- There is no need to call out your targets before shooting, the ref. has a copy of the menus in front of him. This helps speed up the round.
- The menus are designed so that the last target of each pair is the first target shot by the next shooter.
Field layout:
- It is recommended that a Compak field has at least 6 traps
- All targets must fly over a 40 x 25 meter box in front of the shooting stands, at some stage in their flight.
