This is information from the ATA regarding the possibility of incorporation of this new event.
The following will be printed in the next rulebook as an addendum. Handicap Doubles is being considered for incorporation at a later time. Gun Clubs will be encouraged to try this new non-registered event. It may be presented as a rule change in the future depending on feedback from the clubs.
Handicap Doubles
This event must be shot 10 shots at each station as directed by shoot management from 18 to 27 yards (17.4-24.7m) with each shooter in order shooting at two targets thrown simultaneously from the trap house until all have shot the specified number of times, then rotating in a clockwise manner to the next station.
Earned yardage will be earned in the same manner as described in Article IV (C). A contestant must stand on the highest whole yardage punched on his or her card. For example, if a card is punched at 20.5 yards, the shooter will stand on 20.0 yards. However, if one half yard is then earned, the card must be punched to 21.0 yards and the shooter must stand on the 21.0 yard line. Initial yardage assignment for all shooters with established Doubles Averages on at least 500 targets in the current and previous target years will be base on their current Doubles Average as follows:
AA 25 Yards
A 23 Yards
B 22 Yards
C 20 Yards
D 18 Yards
New shooters with no established doubles average will be assigned the 18 yard line.
A shooter may not stand on a higher yardage than he is punched, unless assigned penalty yardage by the shoot handicap committee.
If there is a 200 target handicap doubles event, the second 100 handicap doubles event must not begin prior to the awarding of earned yardage based on the first 100 target event.
It is not permitted to have more than one 50 target handicap doubles events in a registered tournament in any one day.
