REFEREES POINT OF VIEW OF RULES 16A, 16B, 17, 17A,

If The Shooter has two clear Shots at a Helice before it hits the ground and stops Short, & does not Accelerate it will be declared ''zero'' ( depending how fast the Shooters style is, the Ref may take this in consideration for the Outcome of his or her Decision ) example 1 as the same bird above in flight and stops short, a slower Shooter has one clear shot and the white part not detached, & the second shot is fired on the the bird as it stops short the Ref has the right to call no bird, the shooter will be allowed to shoot a new helice with only one shot, ie. only 1 shell in the gun. example 2 as the same bird above in flight and stops short, a slower Shooter or a ( faster Shooter )has two shots as the bird stops short, or or Shoots after the bird has stoped short, the Ref has the right to call no bird, the shooter will be allowed to shoot a new helice with two shells in the gun.

Another situation that can occur is that the helice when released flies low and brushes the ground and flies on, Whether it reaches the fence or not if the Shooter has two clear shots at the helice and the white part not detached, it will be declared a “zero”.

ARTICLE 17 A

If the shooter breaks one wing fully off the helice at a low target on the first shot and the helice falls inside the ring it is a “no bird”. the shooter will be allowed to shoot a new helice with only one shot, ie only 1 shell in the gun

( Explanation if this was not a low bird and drops straight down and bird is missed with the second shot ,which is a difficult bird to hit when the wing breaks of on the first shot and does not have a normal flight and is declared a “zero.) We know the next bird will not be the same ,but you did not detach,the white part, any way so you should be lucky you have another chance at a new helice even if it is with one shell only
