What speeds are represented by the CLAY SLOWDOWN data?
The DryFire Clay Slowdown feature does not change the angular flight of the clay – it simply introduces delays into, or speeds up, the travel over that flight. So, a slowdown factor of 1.5 will make a 2 second clay take 3 seconds. The “normal” value is “1”. Clay slowdown is not a change to the trap itself (it does not change distance or intermediate height) – it is simply a convenience for training purposes. We like to start people on a factor of 1.5 and work up to 1. We have some Olympic shots who practice at a factor of 0.75 on the grounds that if they can hit those they will have much more thinking time when they shoot real Olympic clays. • Without the shooter appreciating speed DryFire can’t work. Absolutely correct. The comments above should answer that – that’s why DryFire’s angular speeds match those of clays from a trap.
