Sota 1,191 Posted February 4, 2018 Things I learned today: If you're shooting a shockwave single handed, make damn sure you got a good and proper grip on the bird's head. I think someone makes a less aggressive safety switch. Might need to get one. Red dot sucks. Receiver rail alone makes a pretty good sight. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not exactly a fan of lasers but I think a laser would be very useful on the shockwave. I find that I shoot low and to the left with mine and a laser would be helpful in lining up a good shot. fwiw, the shockwave does not strike me as a red dot kinda gun.

Sota 1,191 Posted February 4, 2018 It was merely an experiment, since I have a spare red dot sitting around. I have a small laser I'm considering mounting on the rail for home usage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sota 1,191 Posted February 4, 2018 I had a lot of broken white flyers too. Is there an expiration date on clays? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, the bio clays will break down over time and get brittle. They should last for a year in unheated dry storage. Dampness does them in. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if you hit the target, it may just get punched with some holes. I saw several targets today that got bumped without breaking Here's something interesting I just learned. Bio targets slough off orange dust when they are cold. So it may not have been my flash clays. I dunno, 50/50 at worst.. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So noted Ray & thanks for the correction! Stoeger's answer is a BAD ASS Coach Gun that points quite nicely 4 for 4 having never held it previously was a thrill! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's bright and since it is so close to the shooter it brings the barrels towards the clay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
