In this competition you shoot 10 balls at 8 metres. You write down the balls shot and the carreaus and pass on that result here. Kevin will announce the 3 week winners. We do this for 4 weeks. The final 3 winner are the ones who make the most progress in the 4 weeks. The winner of week 8-10 till 14-10 is Lee with 9 hits and 5 carreau.

I thought I'd do a Q&A tonight with a video I recorded a few weeks ago for my YouTube members only. We can watch me waffle about the 10 questions I wrote for myself before I left the UK and the insights I gained from 5 months of filming in France. The video is about 30 mins long, so we can stop between each question and maybe have the zoom call over 2 weeks if necessary Kevin O’Rourke is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Carreaux Carreaux sur Place Tir raffle | Raspaille | (raffle-shot?) = hit the ground maybe a metre in front of target Casquette = when you hit the ball on the head Pallet is where you hit a boule in front of the boule and it carries through and gets closer (to the Cochon) →WHAT DO YOU CALL← when your boule is nearer the jack than the target boule after the shot? Streifschuss (.de) a glancing shot that barely moves the target Boule I find conflicting definitions and descriptions of shooting terms. Is there a good source out there I could refer to? Or, *if people give clear definitions below, I could add them to this post.* Shooting terminology comes mainly from the French language - I include German terms (from the region I play) - *if there's equivalent French or English terms please let me know and I will add.*

In Amsterdam my petanque balls were allowed in the hand luggage. In Spain, Lanzarote, I had to take them out of the hand luggage and put them in the suitcase so that they were checked in as baggage. My magnet to pick up the balls is only allowed in the hand luggage.
