E.w. Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 You were presented with some cracking birds and you shot well, how do you find it when you review the go-pro and shotkam is there a significant difference between the two. Thanks for sharing all your shooting videos, most enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDog Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Your shotcam videos have taught me that there is less room for error than I previously thought. Thank you for taking the time to edit and upload these videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duffryn Posted January 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Your shotcam videos have taught me that there is less room for error than I previously thought. Thank you for taking the time to edit and upload these videos. I'#m pleased they have helped. This is the biggest single lesson I have learned from Shotkam. Tight chokes are tighter than I thought and the shooting line is critical . When you test plate a gun/ cartridge it doesn't give a true picture re the margin of error Very good, well done. You seem very at home at Powis Castle. Thanks. I enjoy Powis , there are lots of drives so its not very "samey" , I shoot with a great team there ( half the enjoyment) and it's not at all corporate which I hate ( though ironic for a corporate day) You were presented with some cracking birds and you shot well, how do you find it when you review the go-pro and shotkam is there a significant difference between the two. Thanks for sharing all your shooting videos, most enjoyable. Yes the keeper did a cracking job considering the lack of wind and light fading. The Go Pro captures the day, the Shotkam captures the shot and when I play it back frame by frame when editing most of the time I can see excatly where I have gone wrong A nice day again .. what choke did you decide on in the end? I took on board the comments here and went for 1/4 and 1/2. I think I would have been better shooting 1/4 and 1/4 which is what I will be shootinf for the rest of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 You have gone full circle regarding chokes. I am sure that for Powis Castle 1/4 and 1/4 will be fine. I believe that the trend for very tight chokes is unhelpful for all except the most accurate of shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokersmith Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Top man !! You still had many of them very dead in the air, but without so many pillowcases !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Definitely some sharp shooting there, on some challenging birds, great video. Your experimenting with the Shotkam may have taught you a few things, but I also think a few of us have learnt a thing or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry2016 Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Another great video with some very nice shooting and well presented birds. As above the shotkam really shows how accurate you have to be with tight chokes, its very easy to miss... thanks again atb Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Wow, you shot some cracking birds in this video. Do you have to thump the gun everytime to start the Shotkam recording? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duffryn Posted January 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Yes Wow, you shot some cracking birds in this video. Do you have to thump the gun everytime to start the Shotkam recording? Thanks - yes just to wake it up if it has been more than 60 secs since the last shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Old SXS have little or no chokes and did the job very well for years,its only when you get to very high birds choke is needed. the birds need to be fit for the table. Great to watch your videos and see rob the dog work another season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otherwayup Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Great to watch. Thanks for taking the time to edit and post Does the software just add the red dot to the middle of the frame and it just assumes the camera is perfectly aligned to the gun barrel? or do you have to fire at a piece of card/paper each time you remove/re-fit the shot cam and then calibrate where the software adds the red dot?

Darren Thanks. You aim the gun at a target say 35 yards away and the via an app on your phone you pull a live picture from the shotkam and using your phone move and the app the dot to line up with the target you are aiming at. Once this is complete you are good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
