For those still reading, after seeing the title, I shall risk resurrection of this topic.
A while back, when I owned a ProSport I had fitted the barrel weights about 8 inches back from the muzzle. I did not fit any stock weights. YES, it made the gun barrel heavy, but, for ME, it handled better and made crossers, especially distant crossers, a lot easier to hit.
I was certainly shot down in flames on here, for doing this. One well known contributor actually slating the very idea to a point of admitting he had "a shed full of removed barrel weights ". Now he was obviously saving me from Satan, because he refused to part with any of them. However, on my release from the Sanatorium, some weeks later, I was shooting Skeet with some friends. One in particular was struggling with the high bird, especially on pegs 3, 4, and 5. He had changed his gun from a Browning to a Beretta due to the lighter weight of the Beretta. I was convinced that he was stopping his gun and pointed it out to him. A week later he was back on the Skeet range boasting a camera, which he had borrowed, fitted on his Beretta. He telephoned me to tell me how he had hit 'everything ' with his gun. After advising him to buy one of these wonderful inventions, I asked him what the camera weighs, he went away to check its weight. He telephoned me back, and, as expected by me, announced that it weighed 6 1/2 ounces. He added that he had fitted it about 6" back from the muzzle of his gun. Once he removed the camera, his new found form seemed to desert him.
I was shooting yesterday with another friend, who has also purchased and fitted one of these wonderful devices to his Beretta 694. He actually shot a personal best score on a Sporting layout, and he has been shooting a long time. His camera is also fitted around 6" back from the muzzle. I am struggling to get my head around this somewhat new phenomena. We KNOW that making a gun muzzle heavy is a definite NO, NO, after all, I have been told this by numerous 'Experts'. However, I am seriously considering fitting one of these devices to my gun, after all, I have solid proof that it will improve my scores dramatically. Has anybody else noticed this instant improvement to their scores by fitting a camera ?
Just to close, try as I might, I am unable to see that red dot in front of the clay, when shooting with these guys ??
