:fie: Ed you should have been a "shrink"! far too clever to be just a shooter! :crazy:
Many times over! :fie: But I'm such a snob! :sarcastic::fie: If you did'nt waste money on fancy cartridges you would own one by now! :crazy:
Call it a refurbishment. In 6 months I'll be as good as new. :sarcastic:Mike.
I have heard you have had your "tattered and battered equipment" operated on.
I just love standing behind those World Champions catching the Eley Firsts as they eject............ :sarcastic:And in all seriousness the vast majority off all the shell stuff is marketing and between the ears of the shooter.
Most of the time, the only real difference between a £160/tho shell and a £240/tho shell, is about £80...
Nothing to do with the extra 1/8th ounce in those Olympics from those days. Still got a couple of boxes in the cupboard next to my Eley Paper Cased Supertrench. All 1 1/8th oz of course.Anyone who has been on the circuit since the 70'sand 80's should know that the best patterning shell of that era was an Eley Olympic trap 7.5 , the speed was I believe about 1150 fps the kills were hundreds and hundreds of 3mm pieces of clay if it was in the pattern?
This tells me that its not about speed! :crazy: Anyone remember Victory Sonics 1600 fps? lasted about a 12 month.
And if you believe it's the shell that makes them win you need your head clearing out!I just love standing behind those World Champions catching the Eley Firsts as they eject............ :sarcastic:
And those Winchester Winners he used to use, were a fantastic cartridge. He had good taste, and what a brilliant bloke..As the late AJ Smith often said "The worst cartridge in the world is more efficient that the best shot!" :crazy:
My head was cleared out many years ago. Nothing but fresh air in there now. :sarcastic:And if you believe it's the shell that makes them win you need your head clearing out!
They shoot what they get asked to
Brilliant Jim. That's me to a 'T' :sarcastic: :sarcastic: :sarcastic:
Of course!Can anyone honestly tell the difference between a fast or slow cartridge apart from the recoil? I certainly cannot.
