Zapp Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 As I have said, I will admit that I am wrong if proven to be so. Where I say "proven", I meant to say convinced. ZB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapwing Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Does'nt not look like a cartridge to me, but shooting a muzzle loader not sure I would recognise one. Small cylindrical jobs with shiny ends right? That blob looks like a round bowl shape with no brass in sight to me, so I would go with the shot, or maybe a space alien. Not an issue with black powder as can't see anything after the hammer falls anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peck Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 (edited) it still looks like the spent cartridge case to me. Edited November 1, 2008 by peck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 I have no idea what I am looking at or supposed to be looking at. I thought it was a powdered clay. Stick a hi res version up and we can give it the Photo Shop full zoom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markio Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 No way is that a clay, it too far to the right for the DTL trap in the picture to throw and too large too for a clay too. And it's not even a the blur you'd expect from a shot string, it's fairly solid, i.e. not moving too fast for a camera shutter speed to capture. It's just an empty shell IMHO. Either that or **** on the lends. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rarms Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Its a spent case that is the black blob to the right of the barrel, and the smoke is blowing to the left. If what is a spent case was the shot string then the gun barrel would have moved to the left and the smoke trail would be to the right of the barrel. There is no shot string that I can see in that photo...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LXX73 Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Not sure myself, if it was the spent cartridge wouldn't this be close to the shooter so also be in focus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nial Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Its a spent case that is the black blob to the right of the barrel, and the smoke is blowing to the left. I wonder if we're all arguing about different things. I'd presumed that was a hedge above the trap house, but is that the shot string? I initially thought it was the more solid black blob at the right of the picture he was talking about. Nial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peck Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 I think what we are looking at is either a spent case or the plastic wadding thingymagig. there is no way that shooting DTL that the shotgun would be at sutch an angle from the so called shot ball, if you had said it was a crossing bird i think there would be some doubt, as it is i would say that no way is it a shot ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markio Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Right, so is anyone seeing anything other that what i've pointed out? Jesus, it's like spot the ball but less fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Looking at it the bolt or whatever its called is open on the gun so one would assume that the 'thing' is a spent case, or some tight choking. It just looks in the wrong place for shot (if thats what I am looking for) :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
