Two targets from one or two different traps, the second clay being launched within a period of O to 3 seconds after the first clay has been shot at.

NO BIRD SHALL BE DECLARED:

8.02

If two targets are launched simultaneously.

8.03

When a shooter does not fire, without legitimate reason, at his first target. The second target cannot be thrown (because there is no first shot), the double will be declared ZERO/NO BIRD and a second double will be thrown to determine the result of the second shot only.

8.04

If the clay is not thrown by the correct trap.

8.05

If the first target is regular and the second irregular, (however, the result of the first target shall be scored KILL OR ZERO as the case may be)

8.06

The double will be declared NO BIRD and the shooter will be asked to fire a second double to determine the scores of both shots:

1. Violation of article 1.05, ready position for the first target (1.07 - 1.08)
2. If during a double, the two shots are fired simultaneously due to a gun malfunction, even if the first bird was broken (articles 3.12 and 3.13)
3. If the shooter fires his gun involuntarily on the shooting stand, whether whilst loading or because of a mishap before saying READY.

8.07

In a double when the second target is irregular a NO BIRD shall be declared and the double must be attempted again, but the result of the first target will be recorded. The shooter will not have the chance to repeat the first target if it was declared ZERO but must still shoot at it.

1. If the shooter misses his first clay, and this clay hits the second one, before the second shot.
2. If pieces from the first clay hit and break the second one before the second shot.
3. If during a double, the second shot cannot be fired because of the malfunction of gun or ammunition, article 3.12 and 3.13.

8.08

A malfunction of the gun or cartridge prevents the shooter from shooting his first bird articles 3.12 and 3.13 will apply.

8.09

If the shooter does not shoot in his proper turn he will receive a WARNING, at the third incident on the same layout, the target will be declared ZERO FOR A SINGLE CLAY or ZERO/NO BIRD IF IT IS A DOUBLE SHOT or ZERO/ZERO IF IT IS A SIMULTANEOUS DOUBLE OR RAFALE.
