Both Lapporte and CCI are on the case though, they assure me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use a one-inch brush to run a line of white paint down a stack of clays, makes them highly visible in poor light or on a foggy day. A chap told me that about 30 years ago, sounded like a good idea, but I have never seen it for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it really work, or was somebody pulling my leg? Might have been the same person who mentioned launching "clays" moulded from hard rubber -- the idea being that some expert marksmen would be disconcerted when the targets never seemed to break.

Many moons ago a few 'alloy' clays where interspersed in a fun morning without anyone knowing which caused some language problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am slightly sceptical as due to the rpm they rotate at I would think the line would just be a blur - lets see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Eco clays could be seen ok due to the combination of close range and a cloudy background. Never the less, both CCI and Laporte are working on a black Eco clay as I have already posted.

discobob Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 Well, they are now a sing these at Sealand on the Skeet- large amount of breakages and the grounds man said that that is the way they are. We had one round with no breakages, but then started breaking again so I went onto the sport trap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
