Correct. Patches cut at the muzzle look like this.

I pay the wife the cost of factory patches about 1cent each. She cuts them out round with a pair of scissors. It gives her something to do more that watching soap operas and a little more spending money.


Obviously you are still in the process of training your wife so keep at it. With a little more effort on your part and she will be cutting patches just for the privledge of sleeping in the bed VS on the floor with the dogs. :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:


Sorry :wink:

ROTFFLMAO :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :haha: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

Thats the first thought that entered my head as I read that also, called to the wife so as to show her how fortunate she is that I allow her out the house. :shocked2:

Oh, but I do. It was rather windy, so that's why the stripes are running diagonally. When the wind shifts, I have to load the patch upside down. I have other patches for when there's no wind at all. :haha:
 
You are creating enough wind in this post to make the pattern spin without stopping.
:rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :youcrazy: :youcrazy: :bull:
 
It's much slower, and you have to take your eyes off the target. It also buggers up your muzzle

Not that slow at all. If you are using precut patches, where do you have to reach to get the next patch? Mine is hanging off my top shirt button where it reaches right out to the muzzle.

I don't know how you would bugger the muzzle up :confused:

What is the value of not taking your eyes off the target? If it's inanimate it'll still be there when you look up and if it's game you are already on your second shot so it's probably gone by now anyway.
 
After lubing,my pillow gets cut square.Cut mine large enough that I can fold the material over the ball as extra precaution not to deform in any way.
 
Claude,that's about what mine looked like,suprizing how square they almost are..Ray
