TARGET ANGLES
3.56 The trap angle does not alter but is fixed near centrally to give the required flight and angles as shown on layout drawing.

3.57 The trap should be set to throw the targets as near as possible equally angled one to the left and one to the right of the centre line as per layout drawing.

NO BIRDS
3.58 The Referee shall declare the pair "No Bird" when:-

3.59 1 target only is thrown.

3.60 2 targets are hit with one shot.

3.61 Either or both targets are thrown broken.

3.62 Targets are not thrown simultaneously.

3.63 An allowable MISFIRE or MALFUNCTION occurs on either target.

3.64 The flight of either target appears irregular and the competitor has not fired a shot.

SHOOT OFF
