Clay Pigeon Shooting
29 Answers
Why can't people who have epilepsy do clay pigeon shooting? My husband takes tablets every night and only ever had 2 fits in 2004 and 2006.

Who says they cant, never heard that before.
Sqad what does controlled actually mean? My daughters epilepsy is now controlled, she has seizures about twice a week as opposed to a few every day, Can you imagine a person suffering from epilepsy holding a double barrelled 12 bore shot gun having a seizure of any kind whilst stood adjacent to a crowd of people.

A good question.
To me it means that a patient whilst taking medication has not had an attack....major or small ....for more than a year.
if they have one a year, then their epilepsy is uncontrolled.
To the patient, they may have a different definition, a subjective one,that is their attacks are less frequent.

Thats the problem sqad, my daughter could claim that her seizures are controlled, her specialist says they are controlled, to some to seizures a week is a lot, to me and my daughter 2 a week is a relief.
Before I allowed my daughter (in my presence) to hold a loaded gun she would need to have been seizure free for at least six months.
If I was holding a Clay pigeon shoot, I would not allow an epileptic to participate unless they held a full car licence. or we could set up a safe area.

Ratter -well in that case the only time anyone would be in danger is if the shooter had a fit at the very moment before he shot -as up until that time he would follow safety procedures and either have the safety catch on or the gun would be open. Also,technically, the shooter could discharge one barrel,causing a fit and the second shot could go into he crowd.
Ratter its hardly difficult to locate the second trigger on a shotgun - in clay shooting you have a couple of shots within one second of one another,anyway its totally hypothetical so must leave it at that. BTW. I got my first shotgun when I was 8...and my 21st birthday pressie was a very nice 20 gauge Purdey which I still have. :-)
