bordergun, god loves a trier .

I appreciate your advice but as I tried to explain to you we do not get the sunshine in the winter months in the U.K. where the traps and solar panels are securely stored to charge the batteries, but you think you know best yet you have no idea of the circumstance that apply. The security...

As teacher has told me not to buy his book why not send it to me for free 😂 or better still we treat it as a library book and pass it round to any forum member who would like to read it.

yes that would be me, actually I think it was you trying to assert your advice as you always know best (not), rather than you accept other people know what’s best for their circumstance, with you finding it difficult to accept other peoples views or constructive comments However what buying...

Thanks, if it a technical type read with photos and pictures then I think I would prefer a hard copy, but not sure I am convinced to buy it anyway.

have no idea of how kindle works or if free so as far as can tell not possible to buy via amazon u.k. without kindle.

Think 16 yards is a little close is it not 25 yards? This information is getting a little dated but still interesting to view. http://www.shotgun-insight.com/fibreVsPlasticSporterShells.html#fibreWadPatterns The link also includes software to analyse a photo of a pattern, but needs an old...

was it the same barrel miss firing each time?

send me a free copy and i will review it honestly am secretary of a clay club with some 100 members so far if asked about a book i suggest move mount shoot by john bidwell. Also own my own shooting related business being an RFD.

I think we will agree to disagree don’t use high amperage 😂 that’s why promatic use a 50amp rated on/off switch and a heavy duty relay to control the motor and 30amp fuses. Next your be telling me they can run from a PP3 battery 😂.

You also have to consider 12v leisure batteries do not like the cold, hence why most car batteries fail in the winter not the summer. The only certain way of ensuring the batteries are fit for purpose during the winter is to take them home to charge or charge via the generator. After twenty plus...

This is Texas next week and Dover UK as i say we struggle to use solar during the U.K. winter.

As a club secretary maintaining several makes of traps the biggest cause of no birds is the throwing arm adjustment and or the throwing arm rubber strip in poor condition, knife edge adjustment is seldom an issue. As for solar panels keeping the trap battery topped up we do charge them that way...

In the interest of learning, please explain what you were trying to say, what advanced testing technique or equipment is determing the energy drop.

With all local grounds fibre wads only (West Kent being the only exception) no choice but to use them, however i now know why i am not a top shot and have another excuse for missing 😂 A certain Mr Digweed grew up shooting in parts of Kent so must have shot fibre wads sometimes, given he would...

o Fibre wads and Obturator cards are nominally 18.9mm diameter. Now I know Ben is no lover of pattern plates but for cartridge testing they have a use. A poor fibre wad cartridge can be consistently seen to blow the pattern. Which is unlikely if the obturator card is swapped for a plastic...

Then provided they are exactly the same diameter and type (i.e mass) then they left the muzzle at different velocities and that would be confirmed by the velocity for CIP at 2.5mtrs, unless you have solve the problem of dark energy. Newton would be pleased. Quite simply K.E = 1/2 MV2

Clearly you do not understand external ballistics, i said shot with equal muzzle velocities, ie the shot has left the barrel, which hence can no longer have any influence on the down range energy. CIP measure the velocity at 2.5mtrs well clear of the barrel, as per the proof results. Possibly...

Some of that may have been true years back but traditional fibre cartridges if matched with today modern powders of the correct type can deliver excellent results. A standard deviation of less than 6 on velocity and 23 on pressure is on par with plastic wads. As for down range energy it matters...

One option for backbored guns using fibre wads is the now available cartridges that use biodegradable plastic obturators together with a fibre wad. So you get the performance of a plastic wad skirt. The obturator replace the traditional over powder card. B&P and I think Gamebore for example...
