If you have ever walked a F.I.T.A.S.C course you might see an intact clay laying on the ground with several holes in it. Obviously, the holes means the shot that hit has enough energy to pass straight through the clay, therefore it matters not how much % excess energy they have it doesn’t make a...

But the center of the pattern has nothing to  do with velocity it’s placement and shot size that makes breaks. All to do with momentum.its about how many hit not the velocity. Seriously if you think a clay would break with 1450 but not 1375 I genuinely would  love to see it as I have broke...

No the point I was making was it’s how you shoot... in front  they are bad..... behind they are good but it’s genuinely inches on most targets  so on the grand scheme of things it makes no difference  you are not wrong  but if you don’t have confidence  is the biggest thing. but the energy is a...

And the exact opposite could happen, you could be too far in front with a fast cartridge but a slow one would chip it. Just to give you rudimentary high school physics that doesn’t take into account loads of variables including very important ballistic ones and the fact everything is slowing...

Velocity difference between current commercially available cartridges (excluding subsonic) is  negligible when shooting clays.  If you do the maths the clay has only moved inches between fastest to slowest velocity getting there. With a pattern spread of say 30” you really aren’t going to...

Also on the other forum which might have something to do with pigeons there are some screen shots taken sometime in the past of the CPSA booking overview of championship entries with a certain individual listed. If you now look on the current CPSA booking overview that person is no longer there...

The CIP regulations on standard steel especially in the smaller shot sizes is the biggest hurdle.  You could develop a fantastic cartridge which could do the job sell it in the USA or Denmark but not in the UK.  Unless the rest of the CIP countries intend to ban lead  within 5 years or we...

Well the cartridge manufacturers have responded.    https://gamebore.com/uk/news/news/joint-statement-uk-cartridge-manufacturers

Last time I shot steel at clays was a few years back. My mate had some to try and was shooting similar as he did with lead until we got to a far out edged on crosser. He took four shots with steel and it missed every time, I passed him some lead and he got 3 out of four then went back to steel...

Dealing with a single projectile is a lot easier,  trying to deal shot clouds is very difficult however here is a very good theoretical investigation into it if you are interested. https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/1382490/1/396689.pdf  

Before physics gets completely rubbished in this thread. The Density of lead is 11.36 g/cm3 and for iron its 7.87 g/cm3   that is an increase of  44.35 % so not insignificant. Obviously when mixed with other constituents this will change so not all lead shot will have the same density depending...

I have written a few long posts on the subject years ago on PW and shotgunworld. Unfortunately you have to be careful with coaches on this subject, you get a lot of fantastic shots / coaches / unnamed Olympians 🙄commenting on eye dominance but they have never suffered from cross dominance, they...

The biggest environmental threat most shooting grounds suffer is closure due to noise pollution. Do we preempt that by all shooing subsonic cartridges? We are never going to stop interference with shooting sports.  A lot of so called ‘green environmentally friendly products’ In the...

The trouble with clay pigeon shooting is it’s not environmentally friendly.  Just taking  one component changing it and saying yep we are now environmentally friendly is not going to fool the activist nor do much to save the environment but it may make you feel better.  A bit like buying an...

😂😂😂 Best find my copy and get it sold then   😊.  if you do want to read it  try here  https://www.abebooks.co.uk/9780966992809/Target-Book-2-Daniel-Schindler-0966992806/plp

To the target by Daniel Schindler  https://www.paragonschool.com/books-tips-articles/product1/portrait-books/to-the-target-book-ii1 I’ve still got it somewhere it’s not a bad read. 

Well if you look at certain sponsors webpages in cartridges and eyewear for instance (and I think gun as well but not 100%  sure on that one) a certain individual has already been removed form the list of sponsored shooters when he was listed before this incident. So it has cost him already  

Sal I totally get what you are saying, when I first started shooting clays competitively many moons ago, I saw a county shooter unequivocally and blatantly cheat. As I was new to the game I kept quiet, some years later I related the tale to another well known shooter who’s words were wow I...

To be fair the NSCA they are only following their own procedures. Northbrook took time to investigate and get written statements etc. to supply to the NSCA Director or Executive Director the written complaint within thirty (30) days of the alleged violation. According to the rules the action of...

I’ve just posted this elsewhere but might as well post here as well.  For a bit of background information a chap called Mr.clays on shotgun world has been quite vocal about all of this including bringing it to the attention of the relevant authorities. Most of his posts and the biggest thread...
