1.06 Broken Targets
A broken target is one which has a visible piece broken from it, whilst in the air, by the shot from the competitors gun.
1.07 Dusted Targets
A "dusted target" is one from which dust is detached by the competitor's shot, but which shows no visible piece broken from it. A dusted target is not a broken target and is a "lost target".
1.08 No Targets
After "no target" has been called by the referee under any of the following conditions it thereafter plays no part in the competition and is irrelevant to it.
No target shall be called when a target is refused for the following reasons:
a. A target is released without the competitor's call and the target has not been fired at.
b. A time interval occurs before or after the competitor's call unless the target is fired at.
c. A target does not conform to the definition of a legal target and the target has not been fired at.
Note: If in the opinion of Management an excess of refusals is recorded, Management has the right to check the shooter, referee and equipment.
If in the opinion of the referee legal targets are being refused, the referee must call "lost target".
All refusals must be recorded on the score sheet as "R".
"No target" shall be called when:
d. A broken target is released.
e. For trapshooting, in single target shooting, two targets are released at the same time.
f. When a competitor shoots out of turn or from the wrong lane.
g. Two competitors shoot at the same time, at the same target.
h. A malfunction occurs in either barrel caused by the competitor's gun or misfire of a cartridge due to no neglect on the competitor's part. In the event of a malfunction of the second barrel, the competitor must fire a live cartridge in the general direction of the target, and is permitted to score with the second barrel only. If the competitor accidentally breaks this target with the first barrel, "no target" shall be called and another thrown; if he again breaks this target with the first barrel "Lost Target" will be scored. If in the opinion of the referee the first shot was fired before the target was visible "Lost Target" shall be scored.
i. A simultaneous or near simultaneous discharge occurs, i.e. from any cause both barrels are discharged together or nearly together. Simultaneous discharges shall be recorded as a malfunction.
The following are considered malfunctions of ammunition:
Failure to fire when firing pin indentation is clearlly visible;
When only the primer fires - or is missing;
When the powder charge has been ommitted;
When the powder charge is not ignited;
Components of the load remain in the barrel;
All misfires and malfunctions must be marked on the scoreshoot as "M"
j. A different coloured target than being used for the event is thrown and not fired at. Firing at the target shall cause it to be considered a legal target with the result to stand.
k. No target shall be allowed for the first target of any visit to a trap if a safety catch is engaged.

1.09 No Target Doubles
a. No targets (both) shall be called when either target is released broken.
b. No targets (both) shall be called when both targets are not released simultaneously.
c. No targets (both) shall be called when only one target is released.
d. No targets (both) shall be declared if any allowable malfunction occurs on the first barrel, and a proof pair shall be thrown to determine the results of both shots. Should such malfunction be the fourth or sudsequent malfunction the referee shall declare "first target lost, no target on second barrel" and a proof double shall be thrown to determine the result of the second shot only.
e. No targets (both) shall be declared if the targets of a double collide before the result of the first shot is determined, and a proof double shall be thrown to determine the results of both shots.
f. If the first target lost is the first target of a double and the competitor is deprived of the opportunity of shooting at the second target, then a proof double shall be thrown to determine the result of the second shot. the first target lost shall be repeated as a single and scored as the 25th target.
g. When a pair is thrown but the shooter is deprived of a normal second shot for any of the following reasons, the result of the first shot shall be scored and the second target only shall be declared "no target", and a proof pair shall be released to determine the resuklt of the second shot only:
1. Both targets are broken with the first shot.
2. The wrong target is broken with the first shot.
3. The first target is lost and collision occurs before the result of the second shot is determined.
4. The second target collides with fragments of the first target, properly broken, before the result of the second shot is determined.
5. The result of the first shot is determined and a baulk occurs interfering with the equity of the second shot.
6. An allowable malfunction occurs on the second shot. Should such malfunction be the fourth or subsequent malfunction, the second target shall be declared "lost".

1.09a. No Targets - Doubles
The referee shall declare "NO TARGET BOTH"and allow another pair under the following conditions:
1. When only one target is thrown.
2. When either target is thrown broken.
3. When there is an allowable malfunction on the first barrel.
4. When both targets are broken by one shot.
5. If a competitor deliberately shoots at one target twice - both targets will be declared "lost".
6. In the event of a malfunction on the second barrel, the referee shall declare "no target second barrel". The result of the first shot shall stand and a proof pair be thrown to dtermine the result of the second shot only.
7. In the case of an allowable malfunction on the second barrel, should such malfunction be the fourth oe subsequent malfunction, the second target shall be scored "lost".
Note: If the shooter shoots at an illegal first target and the second target is legal, he must also shoot the second target. However a shooter is not required to shoot at an illegal second target even though he shot at the first target, which may have been either a legal or illegal target.

1.10 - Lost Target
Lost target shall be called when:
a. The competitor fails to break a legal target.
b. The competitor fails to shoot because his gun is unloaded, or because the safety was faultily adjusted or jarred back, whether from his oversight or not, or because of any other cause chargeable to his oversight or neglect. (No target shall be allowed for the first target of any visit to a trap if the safety catch is engaged) Shoukld this happen in a double-rise/doubles event, the first target only should be declared lost and a proof pair shall be thrown to determine the result of the second shot only. However a shot shall be fired at each target in the proof pair.
c. The competitor has an apparent malfunction and attempts to open the gun before the referee examines it. The competitor must not turn around and must keep his gun pointed in the direction of the traphouse until the referee has given his decision. If a competitor's gun breaks down and it is necessary to seek a replacement, the competitor is allowed 5 minutes to do so. If this is not possible the competitor may leave the squad and finish the remaining targets of the round at a time decided by management.
Should a gun malfunction occur during a shoot-off, the competitor has 10 minutes to repair or replace the gun. Failure to comply is a "lost target".
d. In single barrel shooting, the competitor loads two cartridges or dummy cartridges into the gun.
e.A foot position violation occurs. For trapshooting, the competitor's feet must be behind any line indicating the firing mark assigned to him. He must stand with both feet completely within one square metre; this square shall extend 50 centimetres either side of the centre of the shooting lane and shall extend backwards 1 metre from the assigned handicap mark. However, provided his front foot is as close as possible to the firing mark, a shooter with a wide stance will not be penalised if his back foot extends beyond the rear edge of the shooting square.
f. The fourth and subsequent malfunction in any one event occurs. However at the end of each 100 targets in any one event the malfunctions that have occurred will be cancelled, and the count will re-commence from zero.
g.A target is dusted.
h. A whole target was fired upon and missed.
i. An illegal target was fired upon and missed.
j. The competitor shoots from other than his approved handicap mark or the common mark for the event.
