Keeping environmental conditions constant, why are only some pellet traces visible through scope, is it because follow through was perfect on that shot?
Watching pellet in flight
- Thread starter Coriolis
- Start date
For me it's the lighting, especially if the sun is behind me. They almost light up like tracers in the afternoon.

It seems to me, if I'm looking for the pellet path instead of focusing on the target, the flight is more noticeable. Lighting conditions are also a factor.

Some U-Tubers paint the inside skirt white so pellet flight shows up in playback videos. I have shot at night with strong light behind me and parallel with the barrel. The skirt acts like a mirror and tracers rush to the target.

It depends on the lighting and the backdrop weather the pellet is easy to see or not. I have a large ( 10 foot wide, 6 foot high, dark) log backstop and with evening lighting I can easily watch the pellets in flight.
Being able to see the pellets really helps when tuning or testing pellets as spiral or unstable flight is very noticable.

In my experience, even keeping the variables constant (including light angle), I only see some traces. Cannot predict to see a trace so asking the question.

I seen something about using white out inside the skirt of the pellet to help see it in flight but haven't tried it, and as Hookster mentioned the lighting or sun angle.
