mickyh Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) Been talking to a chap who says you can buy shotgun cartridges,that when fired you can see the shot or somthing else? They help you see where your shot is going,if you keep missing. Anyone heard of these? £16 for 10 Yikes !

Underdog Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Some were misleading. The tracer was in the wad. The wad can go anywhere but where the shot has! U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harnser Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 If you stand behind a shooter and look to then end of the barrels you can often see the shot string leaving the barrel and the direction it takes . I notice this more when sharing a hide with my shooting buddy and watch him shoot . Harnser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekers Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 You will often see the wad which is a guide, but also as #3. Not seen these tracer types but I'm sure they are out there, but how and where would you use/try/practice with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Many many years ago now...I didnt buy anymore! Maybe better now dunno! If you see the normal wad on your bird you most likely are way to infront! That usually is what I go off if I am struggling. U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casts_by_fly Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Winchester has just come out with a new cartridge/wad which is a tracer. A small portion of the shot stays with the wad. It also has helical flues on the side to give it a little bit of spin. The wad is supposed to stay with a shot charge for up to 40 yards and be visible the whole way (the wads are either bright orange or black, your choice depending what you're shooting against). There was a writeup in field and stream this past month I believe, so some judicious use of your favorite search engine should find it. thanks, rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
