Frequently asked questions:
Can I shoot plastic wads?
Yes, there are no wad restrictions.
Can I shoot my game cartridges?
No. The ground does not allow 6 shot or loads bigger than 28g.
Can I use my father’s post-war boxlock?
The age guide for vintage is anything made before the 1954 Rules of Proof – but this is only a guide. We want to open the door to as many people as possible rather than restrict entry, but we do encourage you to understand the spirit of the event in the absence of rules. (If you shoot your round with a 486 Paralello with a view to winning a voucher, then there will be an awkward conversation at the end, and you will be disappointed!)
What if the barrels were sleeved or multichoked recently?
That’s fine, remember, this is about the spirit rather than the rules.
What about vintage over and unders and single barrelled guns?
You are welcome to shoot vintage over and unders and single barrelled guns in the pool shoot, but there are no separate classes for them this year.
What if there really is a disagreement about age of the gun used for the high score and who gets the voucher?
Then the decision of the Head of Operations of Holts Auctioneers will be final and we reserve the right to refuse entry in future events.
