No, it is quite literally, playing with fire . . .

Surely that should be PWF, non?

Have seen a few previous post on here about trap guns having barrels that shoot at different heights on patterning ie 70/30 bottom barrel and 50/50 top barrel! just wondered if this is standard on all trap guns?

Generally Speaking Most Trap Shooters Prefer 60-40 Both Barrels Some Of Us Prefer 50'50 For Ot And ABT Some Dtl Shooters Prefer 70-30

So it's really a case of experience and knowledge of what is best for you.

P's

Yes some new fangled stuff like k guns have hangers so each barrel can be adjusted independently however were into black magic territory here so best not to concern oneself with that stuff imo or your head will get mashed.

Hope that helps

POI is important but should we not first consider the relationship between POA and POI.  :fie:

 

[westley]

Is there one ?

 

[AW13]

ooh, good answer, is that from a philosophical standpoint or a mathematical one?

That isn't barrels shooting at different heights. That's the pattern placement percentage of the shot charge in relation to the point of aim.

A 70/30 comment means 70% of the shot pattern is above the POA and 30% below it. In comparison to the 50/50 mentioned the 70/30 would be a higher shooting gun.

All trap targets are rising in order to meet the height criteria specified in the rules. that's why most trap guns are designed to produce something like a 70/30 pattern.

My Miroku trap guns shoots both barrels in pretty much the same place as does my Perazzi MX8.

Daniele Perazzi had a theory that the first barrel was always shot at a rising target, but in some instances a second barrel was fired once the target had ceased rising and possibly a second barrel shot with a pattern placement the same as the first would miss over the top.

Whether his theory was put into practice by making the top barrel shoot lower I don't know.

I think that this becomes a classic case of doing a shooter's head in.

My only concern with a pattern plate is to confirm the pattern is going centrally, neither to the left or right. An 80/20, 70/30 or 60/40 pattern really doesn't worry me.

Ask any woman who lives with a man, if there is any relationship between POA and POI and if there is a difference..

I believe height of gun hold, speed of swing and individual perception of target are all relevant factors to consider. Imo high gun holders are better with flat shooting guns whereas hold on the mark types are generally better with at least 60-40 probably better still with 70-30 but and it's a big but, it's mainly imo down to target perception in other words no specific rule as such one just needs to take notice of quality of kills.

Only my opinion of course.
