not gonna lie, a couple of early episodes in the spring of American bird hunter got me interested in black cloud at first.  Still really like the stuff either way tho.

Like any of us can shoot like tom knapp...  :bash:
That's why it's called hunting and not killing.

I'd shoot Black Cloud too if they were paying me for it.  Don't think ol' Tom walked into Wally World and bought a couple of boxes because he read about it on here...
hey, where's Professor Chaos? Anyone seen him?

some of you guys seem like sales reps for black cloud.

tom knapp was just at seattle skeet and trap for a shooting exhibit. good guy, definitely shoots what he  gets paid to shoot though.

i'm with general disarray on this one, no disrespect to mr. knapp...he's a pro shooter and thats what he is supposed to be doing.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

No rep fro FS here, the major reason I shoot it is a little confidence in my pocket like a plastic rabbits foot   8)  And for the fact that it's much cheaper than the other "higher" shells.


I don't blame Knapp for shooting what he gets paid for hell, if estate was sponsering him he'd be breaking 100/110 with estates.  No denying the man can shoot, I don't really buy anything because a celeb uses it, it's more like hey whats that, cool idea i'll check it out.

I don't think many people are like "TOM KNAPP"!!!! I NEED A BENIELLI AND BLACK CLOUD NOWW!!
lol

Maybe.

Black Cloud....I don't even want to go down that road again.  Its just another gimmick, I'll stick to my Winchester Super X and kill birds just fine, and have beer money left over!

Folded a bufflehead drake at 20 yards at full steam with 12 hens around it with a black could this morning.

Missed two mallard drakes cupped up into the decoys with winchester x's, I'm never buying them again.

To each their own though.

 :bash:   there it is guys... the definative proof that blackcould is better than winchester x's.

based on my *censored*ty shooting this weekend it didnt matter what load was in the gun.  I'll stay cheap.  Although if someone wants to sponsor team donkey punch we might agree that blackcoud or kent or estate or winchester or remington or fiochi or rio or ____  is the only load to use. :hello:

Doesn't matter if you're hunting with grenades.  If your spot blows, your spot blows.  And believe me our spot blows.   :bash:

I finally bought a box of black cloud (21 bucks) and I have to say  that I am impressed, kills ducks dead and the pattern and range definitely seems to improve.  I hate spending that money on shells but it is worth it, as far as I'm concerned, late in the season when your shooting big northern mallards.

WOW I just now saw this... and I hate to break this to you but I have killed my fair share of limits this year with my Super X's.  So I guess you better change back.....   :rolleyes:

Bufflehead?!  People shoot those?  haha
