It certainly is
I'm planning on getting some to try out so wondered if anyone on here had any prior experience of them.
Thanks Nicola, that backs up what I've heard about them so far from the Northern contingent
Legal or not avoid if possible, long shot strings are bad news for long birds. I rather suspect that it comes from the same school of thought that tight chokes increase shot string, false of course. :wink:
Sorry guys I made a mistake. A1 stock them but are not now going to be the importers.
So were Hull Pro One's I seem to recall. I had a thou once and they shot so krapp I actually opened one up to find miss shaped and multi size shot in them, so bad that I actually sent some back to Hull held between cello tape! Fair play to them they called back to apologise.
all the shot is attached on a piece of string inside the cartridge, upon firing the string un ravels and then evaporates mid flight with contact to air, leaving the shot free to fly towards where you were pointing. the length of shot string is altered depending on which type of cartridge is used. hamster obviously likes short shot string, i tend to prefer longer shot string, maybe this is why he is better than me?
Thanks...very interesting. Love a bit of technical education....I suppose the follow up questions should be, why is the string needed? how does one know what size of string one is shooting with (my general thoughts were that given the pellets are housed in a relatively generic sized shell that this shouldn"t differ too much :huh: ) ? and what are the theoretical benefits of "short" or "long" string?
