Retriever Journal

There is an interesting article in the current Retriever Journal on shotgun patterns. It talks about shot string experiments done by Bob Brister. A similar experiment was performed here a number of years ago by a couple of avid hunters. (1960's?).
There are lots of folks posting here that do reloading. It may give you a few other things to consider......

Bob Brister used a Ford Country Squire, driven by his wife, to test shot string length. I have a nearly identical Country Squire, but my wife will not drive it while I shoot at it.

The Idaho folks, I believe, used about a thirty eight Buick. They had the big old sedans with a hump back trunk. Like Brister they also towed a target mounted on a trailer. The driver had a lot of confidence in the shooter. These two guys probably know more about long range shooting than most of the published authors. It just shows where an inquisitive mind might take you.....
