Technical Rules for Super Sporting
Please see the latest version of CPSA Booklet 1 - General Rules for the full and latest details https://www.cpsa.co.uk/cpsa-publications  

Except as detailed below all of the rules and regulations for English Sporting are fully applicable to the CPSA discipline of ‘Super Sporting’.
 

Viewing Point

The first shooter of a squad or group, who has not had the opportunity to see the targets, will have the opportunity to view all of the targets as singles only, from the shooting stand. All competitors should familiarise themselves with the targets by viewing the targets from behind the stand whilst waiting their turn to shoot and not encroach on the shooters personal space or within the shooting stand. Also, whilst waiting to shoot to keep the noise down for fairness to shooters and to allow the Referees to hear a shooters call.
 

Layouts

A Super Sporting layout follows the same principal as an English Sporting layout with multiple shooting stands arranged around the course. However, on each stand there must be a minimum of 3 traps, each clearly identified and labelled alphabetically (i.e. A, B, C etc) depending on the number of traps on that particular stand.

Each trap must be clearly indicated by its own letter in the vicinity of the trap and the letter must be visible from the stand.

Traps can be placed anywhere the shoot organisers decide, behind or in front of the shooters line of fire and trajectories determined by the shoot organiser and by the geographical area.

Menu boards in front of each stand, measuring a minimum of A4 size, 300mm (11.8in) x 210mm (8.27in) will list the traps in the order in which they will be released at that stand.

The minimum number of stands required at a registered shoot will be 7 stands with a minimum of 50 targets in total. A minimum of 20% of the total targets in a competition must be thrown as singles. Each stand must have a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 10 targets.

The targets must be as specified in rules 24.6 of the rules for English Sporting.
 

Conduct of Events

The Referee will allow the competitor to view all of the targets as singles only. 

On any mixed stands, single targets and on report pairs, must be shot before the sim pairs.

At each stand, each competitor will shoot the targets as per the menu board. This may be a combination of single targets, on report pairs, following pairs or simultaneous pairs as decided by the shoot organiser.
 

Shooting Singles

Full use of the gun will apply when shooting the single targets i.e. 2 shots may be taken if the target is not broken with the first shot.
 

Individual & Team Tie-Breaks

In the event of a tie, the tie-break rules 24.25 – 24.29 of English Sporting will apply with the exception of 24.27 wherein ties may be broken by shooting ten targets from a new stand (not used at any other stage of the event). The ten targets may consist of singles, on report & sim pairs.
