flycoy Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Just putting the feelers out to see if we ran a Basc Patterning Day what interest it would generate. Pattening plating is not used as much nowadays, but can produce interesting results and help with performance and lethality rates. feedback from the PW crew appreciated Thanks Flycoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishing Richie Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 I would be interested if it was in Warks / West Mids Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatFreddysCat Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Depending on driving distance I'd be interested if I could use 10 bore and steel shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyTed Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Depending on driving distance I'd be interested if I could use 10 bore and steel shot. The pattern plates I've seen have always been steel so using steel shot would surely produce potentially lethal ricochets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sitsinhedges Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Wouldn't it be easier to just get a big bit of cardboard and shoot it instead of all this palaver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flycoy Posted November 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Thanks for the prompt interest, the idea of the day would be to use the gun and cartridges you normally use to see how they perform, shot concentration, lethality etc. it would fill most of the day, be in the spring and would be in the central area for the first one I would think.

Glenlivet Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 The central area being roughly where? My central area is my house :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks Keep us posted with a bit of notice please 😋 I assume big bores and non toxic will be included in the day 😗 All the best Of Flycoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flycoy Posted November 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 OF the idea of the post is to see if enough interest is there to lay a day on, will of course keep you up to date, once I see that its possible I will go back to HQ and get a more detailed plan of the day sorted so you can see what is what and I will get a venue that will facilitate the big bores and steel etc, will have some good info there too so will be a good day really want to see how interested you guys are first, don't like to cancel events once arranged ATB Flycoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakerboy Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Sounds like a plan. I fancy going over to the Isle of Wight to see Old Farrier, Nigel is great company. It may have to be a regional thing depending on the interest. If you are interested please ensure you put down your county, and or town it will help us pull things together. Good idea flycoy.

flycoy Posted December 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Hi all Thanks for the interest you have all shown in this post, can I ask those of you still keen to register your interest on the basc website, go to home page click on "events and courses" then "training courses. you will see "cant find a course in you area?" click on that and fill in boxes and select a course "shotgun patterning workshop". this will show the interest out there for the day thanks again PW Flycoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjimmer Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Especially as there is going to be a cost attached, what would a person get out of this that they wouldn't by just shooting a piece of cardboard and looking at the results? Seeing other gun's results, perhaps. The biggest cost will be getting there, I suspect. Bound to be too far for most people, no matter where it is. Putting it on at the Shooting Show in February might attract more interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 It is such a time consuming activity, far better for one or two people to get together and spend an hour shooting some good cartridges through their chokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farma Geddon Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 My loads are already where I want them , but surely it would be good to meet and shoot together and have good laugh and check out what other people do . It may just give you some ideas to help you along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A patterning day could be an anual event perhaps. Edited December 6, 2015 by Farma Geddon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakerboy Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Wouldn't it be easier to just get a big bit of cardboard and shoot it instead of all this palaver? What palaver? It seems there are a number of people interested. Understanding the results can help with your shooting. No doubt a bit of gun fit will come into play.
