Understanding shotkam video

[PeeJay]

I’ve just started ‘playing’ with my new shotkam.

When I look at some videos, the shot looks to be in the right place, but the clay remains. But there are lots of pieces visible when watched frame by frame. I’m assuming that these are the wadding, bits of cartridge etc? Or can bits come off the clay without showing?

I realise that this may be wishful thinking. . But we had this down as a miss until we saw the video.

P.S. this isn’t about technique, I know it’s sadly lacking,

Bits can most certainly come off a clay and NOT be noticed. When I ran a shooting ground, it was quite common to find clays with as many as 5 or 6 holes in them, but they remained intact. I have seen dust coming off orange clays but they were not broken.

well from what i see under normal speed the bits are wadding as the clay doesnt appear hit. I did slow things down and captured this frame which i think shows a miss

Without footage of the same clay being hit it will be hard to say where it was missed as context is key. Unfortunately it looks like a miss and that was the wad sailing through the image, if anything the shot looked high, but all depends on how accurate the shotkam is calibrated to your pattern.
