landyboy Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 when trap shooting it s something i do out of habit and it eats a few seconds up between shots ! shooting skeet or sporting i just whack some more cartridges in and get on with it!

dk6052 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 I tend to blow the smoke clear to check on the amount of fouling when using homeloads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigeonguano Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 noooooo its because after you fire and remount the gun, the smoke leaking out the end of the barrells can take your eye off the target ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silpig5 Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 do yo know , thats a good question . i do it occasionally when clayshooting , but never have the time when on the back of the truck lamping . if ever there was a time for a blockage it would be at night when throwing carts in quickly . its as said before , a habbit . adi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P~MX Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 I do it a lot mainly just because a barrel should be clear before insertin a cartridge and it doesn't look safe lookin into thick gassy smoke :look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZ550Kevlar Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 What sort of carts are you guys using? you do realise us here in the 21th century use smokeless powder in our cartridges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chazzmeister Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 I've got a mate who licks his thumb and damps the end bead before each pair of clays* I think he probably saw that black and white film about the American turkey shot who joins the army as a sniper 'cause it worked for him - that's Hollywood for you It wouldn't be so amusing if he hit some of them but all he seems to be working on is a haze of spit around the stand a rusty barrel ends... *Name withheld to save the poor soul from further suffering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chady Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 (edited) Stick your gun up some ones back side.... and as you do it ask them to trump........ it clears the barrels faster.... try doing it to a person you don't know as well by surprise! That will guarantee them to trump... Disclaimer. No liability accepted for some one following through and coursing a blockage.....so carry a bag and a stick with you if this happens....

DSPUK Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 As a semi shooter I thought blowing down barrel was sign of a poof - but having got myself a O/U trap gun I found myself doing same thing so now I know it's not a poof thing but sign of a good shooter -except perhaps Salopian. :rolleyes: Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 I only do it when I'm shooting carp as its the only smoke I'll see. When on form and smoking clays I don't bother ;-) Atb figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clutey Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Afternoon all, I've often wondered why peeps blow down the barrels of their O/U's at clay grounds. Cause it's much easier than blowing up them, think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Year ago, we had Starshot on the Welsh channel S4C. Competitors were seen to be blowing the smoke out of their barrels. Soon after, in our local clay shooting club, I noticed many shooters doing the same. Some times, there were so many doing it, it sounded like Peruvian bloody Pan Pipes!

chrispti Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 II saw someone do it Saturday at a clan shoot. Blew down the barrels, had a look, turned his gun upside-down and fished out half a wad stuck in the end of his barrel :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
