pretty sure I seen Teds Holdover do it https://www.airgun101.com/ted-s-hol...nted-slugs-fx-wildcat-mkiii-bt-22-the-gremlinI guess this idea isn't worth doing. Just thought it make the slug/pellet easier to see on scope cam.
It's worth a try, at least. I push the pellets into a piece of foam until the rim of the skirt is just below the surface of the foam, 20 or 30 at a time, & then hit it with my spray can of fluorescent paint. Easy peasy.pretty sure I seen Teds Holdover do it https://www.airgun101.com/ted-s-hol...nted-slugs-fx-wildcat-mkiii-bt-22-the-gremlin
Pellets are moving too fast to see em in real time even with the paint most of the time. Every once in a while the lighting is just right to see em but not often without slomo.I feel unpainted is just as visible in slow motion.
Any non-slow motion video of the florescent orange? Comparable to naked eye?

I'm definitely not cool enough!Could be trajectory or spiraling projectiles or just coolness lol
Bright green or orange or yellow go neon and film it for usI was thinking about spray painting the back of my slugs and pellets. Maybe like red. So I can see the slugs in flight toward the target. My concern is, would the paint cause the slug/pellet to shift poi? Would the added weight cause them to fly weird or spiral out of control. Have anyone trying painting only the back of their slug/pellets and what effect if any do you see.
I guess I'm just simple, but kind of lost here. I'm interested in where my pellets hit, but I don't feel a need to watch their flight path. What is the value of this information?
When you can see your trajectory shot after shot you internalize it. When you can see how the wind pushes the projectile as it flies down range it makes an impression on you.
I think the object here is to see the shot in the camera. Painting pellets may help do that. But i use those few minutes of "tracer vision" to learn the mystical flight of the pellet. You get feedback from the shot to the target. It's a learning aid.

Ed, I got my scope cam as a diagnostic tool. Shows me what I might be doing right or wrong with technique & how my guns are performing too. In slomo & especially with painted & more visible pellets it makes it easier to see the flight path and/or stability of projectiles. You'd be amazed at what I THOUGHT the pellet was doing opposed to what it really WAS doing when viewed in slow motion. Never was really interested in the "coolness" factor but sometimes it is just "too cool".I guess I'm just simple, but kind of lost here.
