Apologies if i was too harsh here. Or too OTT. I is what i is and i need a break. I knew it was coming !!!

All good. Regards from a mad inventor.

Seems we see things differently Peter. I have had an interest and an understanding ( my understanding ) of the "scientific method" for a very long time.

My words were strong. Probably too strong for this site.

I’m sorry for leading everyone astray with hard shouldering or free recoil, Alan’s Math says it plain and clear . But my experiences at times says otherwise . Oh my gosh ! This sport is off the chart as far as for thinking stuff over !! All of the newbies I think are about to jump off the end of th...

True Big T, the theory is absolutely NOT totally sound to me either, and I'm sure many others, but Peter has given us a sort of a "conceptual framework" to work with here so maybe we can go forward with some useful discussion. Remember that there are 'places' in the big picture where the r...

'Tis what it is lads !! Hence I suggest we be using the chrony.

Now I see mention of this chrony vs that chronys accuracy. So which chrony are we going to use and perhaps we need to be using the right chrony at ALL times ?

Plumbs says we be getting off topic. I think not.

Maybe, theoretically, but the question was with respect to " handling " not rifle weight.
Barry

The weight vs the 'handling' are one in the same thing. The common denominator for me is the systems "inertia value" and leaning into a rifle raises its inertia value

Peter I'm not sure about where others here have got with thier studies but I'm planning to study lesson 3 tonight, having been thorough with my study of lessons 0, 1 and two over the last two nights. I'm doing all the maths too as I go but I notice u say it's just an understanding of the concepts th...

Considering this is all happening in less than the blink of an eye then do u have the maths/science for how the various velocity spread numbers impact on the direction the barrel is pointing right at the bullets exit moment ? I would presume a bloody small velocity change ( and by implication seatin...

What I find interesting is that of three very top Australian FTR shooters commenting here,one is against,one is for and the other is for some of the time,with other options depending on the mound surface.I am working on it,used carpet on top of a rubber belting mat,on top of a thick wooden board at...

How does the front rest affect vertical? 'Tis all the same or similar dynamics at work i suggest i.e. inconsistent system movement during the bullets barrel time. I can put forward thoughts on FTR front rest dynamics as that's what I'm most familiar with. Now I'm F Open and wish Rod D was at my clu...

I'm desperately needing to show off some of my newfound knowledge ..... " the amplitude of motion is a reflection of the quantity of energy possessed by the vibrating object ". That's why ya don't wanna flacid stock folks ! Because it will be very easily " loaded " with energy, ...

Jolly good idea Peter to be sure to be sure. Especially your reference to "setting the rules" for some discussion. After all most of us haven't been to university to study this stuff so it needs to be kept UNDERSTANDABLE.

If it's not understandable to us then it just might be BS ?

Them pics are are upside down I think ! Hope they help anyway. From litz book.

Fair call Jase. All this comment that me or u or anyone puts up here often really needs a lot of writing to properly qualify the ideas/thoughts we are trying to get across. I could end up writing a book often just to be clear about the argument I'm putting forward. I think it's important for shooter...
