Turkey loads???
Goose loads are the obvious choice and have been tested billions of times on live flying targets similar in size to those drones.

Agree, but the video chose what was probably locally available. Plus the Turkey hunters are willing to spend the big bucks for the few shots they get. And there's been more money put into research.

I'm particularly fond theoretically and anecdotally, of the load that originally used candy. Molten sugar poured into the shot column that hardened into a solid mass, that shatters on firing and kept the shot tightly grouped. Iirc the commercial version uses a polymer, which is probably both safer to automate and has other advantages.

Otoh... Goose loads are well proven and often not lead containing. The early Steel shot was rough on old guns, and loses velocity quickly. I remember the Ithaca 10 ga. Auto developed to use Steel shot, magnum velocity and larger load of shot.

The modern rareite loads are probably best, Tungsten is really pricy, but for life or death? Worth every penny.


Plus, Turkey loads, the best ones, actually don't spread "enough" for wing shooting. Not as bad as a single bullet, but the Purpose is a really really tight pattern for head shots and the density of pattern to hit the CNS. ( central nervous system.... a really really small target On turkeys. )


On the whole... I'm going to agree with you.

If you want to practice shooting down .... Get a kid that is good at flying 2 string stunt kites for yourself. I have given up drone flying.

I've got the Fluxx 2.2 & 1.3

I do not recommend the 1.3, ( got mine free in a package deal ) it takes a lot of wind to stay up and is too fast for beginners.
( the 1.3 uses the same weight material and lines as the bigger kite, hence needs more wind. )


The 2.2 is a great first kite, For Adults! ( or supervised kids ) It can pull you right off your feet, and is a lot of fun.

I also have the Hydra 420, which can get a canoe going pretty fast. Right about the upper end of size on a kite not connected to a harness with quick release. It's a 3 line, and you can back it up off the ground after a crash. It's got the mesh covered air intakes with "one way valve" to stay inflated. It really will yank you off the ground, so I suggest it as a second, not first! trainer kite.

The Rush Pro School 300 is a full control depower kite that lets you change AOA in flight, and is suitable for snow board or ski use, but not for water. ( no one way valves )

All too expensive for me to want to shoot at, except the 1.3 maybe, and it's so quick it'd be a real challenge.

So for target practice I suggest cheaper ones.

Actually I think it was 2.

Plus an Olympic shooter who worked with them to build a very very good rifle.

Forgotten Weapons has done the history, from the L96A1 on, with decent detail. Recommended.

I also enjoy the Q&Arsenal folk, with their deep dives into historical firearms. Starting with a WW1 emphasis, along with others in the anniversary of the War, they've branched off into older & newer weapons.

Not everyone's cuppa, deep it goes. Personally I don't much care how many rifles were in each contract, but sometimes that's a n interesting insight into aspects otherwise invisible. Like how desperate a company is to keep going, when business gets tight. & other factors.

I am very interested in the "how it works" parts. For example , triggers. I mean, all you gotta do is release some thing under spring pressure. How hard can that be? How many ways?

Uh, but reliably, without accidental release. Even if dropped, etc. And smooth in a very specific way. Nothing shows the engineering like visual aids like animations, and Q&Arsenal does that so you can easily grasp some subtle stuff.

And serendipity, while doing various revolvers they found the assumed history of evolution was... Somewhat lacking. So they dug in and got copies of original patents, plus the production history already done, and are re-writing the history of wheel guns for who invented what.

I look forward to them getting a Chiappa Rhino .357 just so I can find out the lineage of the mechanism.

Plus Mae is fun to watch shoot.
( an enviable Significant Other : ) "Isn't that the girl that shoots the Anti-Tank rifle, then laughs?" Yes. )


One thing I find interesting is the revolver development that didn't catch on, here. ( where we assume we're the revolver guys because... Sam Colt. ) The Abadie gate loading system for example, I've never seen on an American gun? And double action was more common earlier in Europe.
