Daz - I agree with everything you say including the misinterpretation of your post. PeeJay – Excellent post for giving your reasons and these will need to be addressed and that can only really be done by a coach and then practice and perhaps some (if you are desperate) comment here !!!. Whilst...

MPMilo - I think you are right 7.5 is 7 etc. Apologies. I recall now someone getting some 6s thinking they would be OK for competitions when they are 5.5 !!! Just checked mine and the are all 7.5 24g & 28g.

Just remember Fiocchi are down a size so a 7.5 is UK 8 etc. The FBlu 7.5 (thus UK 8) 24g is a great cartridge. THIS IS WRONG - THEY ARE OK 7s when Fiocchi 7.5s I've not have any problem with fouling - All mine are chrome lined just is case that's a factor. Edited to correct the mistake...

Perhaps a topic for another thread but I agree that being in the right head space is very important. I've not quite worked out where mine is yet and whether a few pre-shot routines are a solution or whether I need to find an overall zen !!!

I would second everything Daz says. The Fiocchi FBlu would be my choice but only because you will probably find you will never need to change.

Totally agree & a really good point. They worry me too. Not saying it s a solution but I've started doing two things, 1. Watch the first one break - seems to stop gun movement to the second too early and it's funny how telling yourself you are going to watch it break helps it do so !! 2...

With respect Jonz, that’s not the reason that’s a definition and it’s taken 7 pages to realize we weren't going to get past that. There was a bit of bull along the way. The thread should be left open so any who whats to, can give it a sniff, and decide for themselves where it was coming from...

Played golf then moved to hockey - was quite good at both. I would certainly find golf much easier than trying to extract a decent answer from you. Do you want me to suggest some sports for you to take up or perhaps something else for you to do with your spare time ?

Peter. I don't blame you at all for the joke. Just asking for a serious reply. I don't know your answers and given you started this thread it's reasonable to ask you to provide them to avoid any ambiguity. Each person is different and you have coached so you may also have some additional...

Hi Salopian. Watch this on You Tube - Go to 30 minutes and watch until the end of the equations - it's ducks but the point is there - the effect of the shot string is marginal. It's one of 6 videos where an American uses a slow mo camera to film the shot string. I haven't watched them all -...

You opened this thread by asking the reasons we miss targets. Those that have replied have provided a (big) list of their reasons. You have steered the conversation in the direction of lead - the failure to read it - yet you miss some 15% for 'other reasons'. What are those 'other reasons'...

"I then shot 100 straight at Hangman’s Stone registered today." That is the stuff of dreams and a serious well done. Not just that but having looked at your website you're only just out of nappies so there is more to come !!!

Peter. What you have posted above has been posted many times before - I get your rationale. What I am interested in is the other 15. If you are mid 80s - and I agree that's not bad at all for a super vet - why do you miss the others ?

We are again talking about lead & books and soon we will be onto your books and what we can all learn from you & them. I will however entertain your question - and probably respond for the last time. A few (and I mean few) of the books I have read are, A Manual of Clayshooting – Craddock...

Peter - Can I ask why you started this thread ?

As posted I was trying to answer the question without reference to lead (or books). Yes – I do miss because I misjudge lead and/or misread the target. I would treat those as separate issues as you can misread the target and get the lead right but that's still a miss. For a root cause analysis...

To answer the question seriously – without reference to a book or lead specifically - I’m generally at 80 with 10 or so missed through my error (fatigue, concentration, failure to repeat the process – meaning hold point, transition hold point, and gun speed variations amongst others) and 10 or...

Two bits of really good advice & comment - particularly the first.

I'm asking how much is marketing hype. Different forcing cones & chokes - why was that data not available with the DT11. And if they are different surely it's not a cost issue to make the DT11 barrels with the same cones & chokes. Barrel shoulders are square again - when the rounded ones were...

The question is - why is it so expensive.
