WHAT'S THAT THEN?
Sportrap is a "fun" idea that allows all the usual targets from English and International sporting to be combined into a competition that can be shot in a small area. It can be set up on a Skeet range for example.  Five firing points and as a basic principle, five traps, as you move from firing point to firing point, the angles of the targets change and variety is achieved from the five traps hurrah!  These traps throw the various familiar sporting targets such as rabbit,  teal, long crossers, quartering, going away, driven etc. 

HOW DO YOU SHOOT IT?
Lets say you're on stand one, your shooting chums are in the other cages,  two to five.  Each cage has a menu of what you will shoot from that position, for example, single A, B and C on report, D and E as a simultaneous pair.  Shooter's change firing points after every sequence of targets throughout the 25 that make up a typical round. 

HOW IS IT SCORED?
I'm going to say this once more only, the score is simply formed from how many targets are broken by a shooter.

WHAT ABOUT THE BEST GUN FOR THE JOB?
A sporting gun is most suitable for this discipline, but as the targets can be both near and far, pick your chokes before shooting as changing halfway through isn't an option!  I'd pick say ½ & ½ and would hope to be adequately equipped to deal with most targets.

CARTRIDGE CHOICE?
A typical 28g sporting plastic wad cartridge will be fab.  Loaded with 7½ or 8 shot, being a sensible choice but by all means have a few shot sizes if you feel that they would assist on particularly close/far targets.

ADVICE?
Beginners should watch others before they fire for the first time. Making a mental note of target sequence is advantageous. There is much to take in and even though you have a menu it is possible to forget where they are coming from!  Good concentration, knowing where the targets are coming from and their sequence can help produce good scores early on. 

FURTHER ADVICE?
Shooting in a group can put pressure on you to shoot at their pace and cause you to rush your own targets.  Relax, shoot in your own time and don't think 'jeez that target must be hard they've all missed it! Focus on what you are about to do and follow that target.

BEGINNERS RATING
Scores are similar to English Sporting, stay calm and you should do well, there may be targets that you find trickier but maintain composure and 60 or 70% would be a healthy start for a beginner. 

DIGWEED RATING
Late 80's and 90'% will be considered a good score in this event, scores are generally more spread out due to the limited shots at each target before changing shooting point and the angles changing.
