Orange clays in the sky.

[Hamster]

Sort of "now you see me, now you don't" thing then ?

Sort of wireless strobe lights, wonder if it's patentable.

There all 'patentable' just depends upon what colour you wish to patent them !

I doubt the answer is the same for everybody. Orange clays against bright blue sky, illuminated by sunlight are fine. Its the dull white cloud that creates the problem, with the orange not "lit-up" .

 

[Rosso]

Yes. Nothing seems to work. I never shot at some as could not see them. The rain did not help. But last time at SDown it was just that colour cloud still had a real job to see them where I wanted to shoot eventually waiting till they hit a different back ground. Then it's to late.

I am amazed how many targets are so hard to see, black, in the trees, in the gloom of bad light, or facing south, ,, really need decent range setters, esp` when edge on as well ! and orange is a waste against  sky, ok if its bright sun, but how often do you get bright sun???? most setters that know their stuff will always set a technical target, rather than an eye test.the weather and conditions will always play a part, but a bit of effort to get  try and get it right is not asking too much, I feel.

Rosso, what colour lenses do you need to see your own car?  

Because you couldn't see when you were trying to unlock that car that wasn't yours when we had finished shooting   

 

[Rosso]

Ha f****** Ha. It was pissing down. Two identical Mercs two cars apart and I pick the Rangey.

Yes bad day for eyes. 

Still at least I never forgot my gun slip ?

Slip would have got just as wet at the gun and everything else, just a pain having to carry it round broken under my arm.

You can try my Oakleys next time if you want?

 

[Rosso]

Thank you and I will bring a gun slip for you and anything else you might forget.

I was being serious for a change.  I find the lenses that I have in them the best for all round colours and backgrounds.

 

[Rosso]

The answer I am told. Latest Pilla lens. Will advise if any good.

Do pilla do a lenses for rabbit clays that roll from grassland  past nettles past a tree trunk past an old oil drum and finish on bare earth?

 

[westley]

I am led to believe that the current lenses will not now fit the earlier frames.

I've never shot Southdown but  sometimes helps if you can you see the trap being fired it can at least gives you a clue when and where it's coming from.

 White sky's orange batue's and mini's

Frigin card wreaker ?

 

[Rosso]

A lot of clubs are using orange clays in the sky now. Can see them out of trap but cannot shoot them that quick, then they just vanish in the yellow overcast cloud right where I want to shoot them. I wish they did that when I shoot at them. Blue sky is fine.

This lens was developed to kill that back ground and enhance the orange. It's a sort of hybrid colour between purple, pink and red with 50% light transmission.

 

[philmoss]

Any good ground/target setter will hide the trap out of vision from the shooting position
