Well was surfing around and found a quiz from Guns and Ammo magazine. It is 15 questions on different aspects that relate to ballistics. Well I went 14/15 the one I got wrong was a real learning experience as the rightful answer was new to me. As I have not read this before in all my readings of past. I have to check my manuals to see if it is there. I do believe this was the most missed question. I won't say what question so you can take the quiz to see how you do. Hope to get a nice response to this as the crickets are getting to me.  www.gunsandammo.com/shoot101/quiz-ballistics-brainiac/ |

Interesting quiz Gary. I did alright as I have been going over this material with my Hunter Ed. classes.

Give me a place to stand and a long-enough lever, and I will invariably break the lever.

Ok, once I got it to show all the options, it turned out 15/15.

Of course, it loses something when I can't make the emoticon work...

Pooh: I have found the same issue. I just edit, edit it out the re-due and save.  |

SnapShot: You needn't worry most of the quiz was aimed toward long gun users and not something hand gunners really have to concern yourselves with.

Well checked my manuals and yep found the same info. I guess I didn't read it before or just don't remember it. Any way I thought it a neat quiz.

I got 15/15.
I must admit, I guessed at the shotgun choke question. It appears as if I guessed correctly on this one.
Anyone who reloads should not have too much difficulty with this quiz

I have been shooting a shot gun for a long long time and I take issue with the choke answer, as I have never heard of one of them,I did get it right with out guessing though. I don't want to ruin it for others!

Bob, in case you're wondering, (and again, without including spoilers), shotguns are not my strong suit/interest, but I actually worked with some pretty hard core shotgunners back in my misspent youth, and during that time period, actually sold firearms. I had never heard of one of the chokes listed, either. Now, I don't think I've heard everything, and sometimes these days, I don't think I can hear anything, anyway !

The choke constriction in question is sometimes referred to as "Skeet 2". I like it for 16 yard trap, but you have to be quick.
scored 14/15. Missed 15. Didn't scroll down far enough to see all the possible answers.

My daughter came from Missouri, my son and grand son, my wife and I had a nice dinner of grilled "porter house" pork chops, corn on the cobb, my son, G'son and I share 10/5. G'son is 4 minutes early though @ 10/4.
Pooh I hope you find to right house .
