Traacker shells do NOT work. I did the 50 rnd dove course at the range today. I kept missing one shot so I used a Traacker. The clay was powdered and the wad went through the flying debris. At station #5 I had the same results! i missed the crossing shot twice so I used a Traacker and the clay was hit and the wad went through the debris.

So, I did not learn why I missed the first two times! I even tried a third Traacker and hit the clay wad and all again. So, There you go.

Anyway, the wads do seem to stick with the shot string and do hit to point of aim. Why I hit well with them is simple really. I was so busy focusing on watching the wad I mounted better and swung without over thinking the shot.

I still need a coupla boxes of 20s though. My O/U 20 is the gun I am having inconsistancies with.
