Front beads

Sundays and Bank Holidays should be double time and don't forget the mileage allowance, London weighting perhaps and of course you'll need new guns and clays provided

OK Robert you have got the job! Ian and I will need a good manager/agent to negotiate on our behalf, but we will need to get a bigger grant now so as to cover your salary and associated costs. Do you want a car or car allowance Robert? :.:

Ok Robert is in, 150k now required. Leave it with me Will try for company cars but not promising anything.

Well I shot OT on sat in very grey overcast and a sort of general mist in the air. Tried 3 lens's couldnt pick the targets up at all then I also realised that I had no real awareness of were my barrels were in relation to the target (because I use a brass beed as previoulsy stated) if and when I eventually saw it. So ............ after much thought I think its time to try a red front bead again.

I hate messing about with stuff but dont know if its my eyes failing with age and general dicrepidness (yes that is a real word ) but me little brass beed doesnt seem to be working in the low light levels of winter.

I reckon it's vision of the clay Ian - OT was never intended for northern light levels, more Spain, Portugal, Italy. We can settle this under floodlights at Garlands, probably have no sight of the barrels and you can test your beads. Dogtyred and Son may turn out, pick up some fiocchi as well, maybe home of clothing, some pattern plate. Discuss on Saturday.

de·crep·i·tude (d -kr p -t d , -ty d ). n. The quality or condition of being weakened, worn out, impaired, or broken down by old age, illness, or hard use. Highlight as appropriate.

Decrepitness: weakened by old age; feeble; infirm: a decrepit man who can hardly walk. 2. worn out by long use; dilapidated. :mellow: We could make a team.

You're right decrepitness: weakened by old age; feeble; infirm: a decrepit man who can hardly walk. 2. worn out by long use; dilapidated

Obviously got me in mind with that description!, anyway count me in for Garlands. Al.

I am up for that Fred / Allen. Yes we Will discuss over a tea on sat.

Wow your definition of my dicrepidness is uncanny.

Update

tried red one again on sat but nope its not happening whatever the rights and wrongs of bead colour size etc i cant shoot with anything but me little brass one so sorry les and Robert the research and potential funding is shelved until i get another bright idea

No no no Ian!!!!! We now need to fund the research into WHY it has to be that bloody brass one! It could take at least three years matey, so please put forward a revised cost estimate to the nearest £25K. :lol:

okey doke will do a business plan

REMEMBER WERE TALKING TRAP HERE

Here we go again. Still unconvinced re the use of and or colour of front beads for trap.

I shot ABT - UT a week or so ago in relatively good light and suddenly became aware of the fact that during or a mili second after taking the shot I was aware of the front bead in relation to the target, now a few days ago and on some previous recent shoots I seemed to not only have trouble seing the clay (probably just down to poor light due to time of year) but again realised I had no perception of the barrels in relation to the target. Now as you will remember I use a small brass bead and my theory now is that a degree of awareness of the front sight / barrels is very important and my brass one works fine in good light but in poor light not only is the target difficult to see but the brass bead is not visible in my periferal vision.

So back to the original research and trials and have now fitted red thing again and might even try a white one but pretty sure the brass one has had its day particularily in our current poor light conditions.

1st dont know were that link came from.

Ok need someone to do a poll thing cos i dont know how. On size and clout etc of front beads just curious.

 

[RobertBeard]

Is our research project back on now? :girlcrazy:

 

[ips]

As soon as i have secured the relevant funding for you, les and i yes were back on

We are going to need a budget increase! We did not take snow tyres, warm jumpers and winter coats into account when we first put the costings into place. :money:

good point I will ammend accordingly

OH and before I forget...refreshments too! Some barrels of Doombar, several cases of Single Malt and whatever Robert is having. And...do not forget the pies! :coldb:

My god you two are soooo demanding

Choice of refreshments are ideal for me! :drinks:
