Title: Harmonics in Shotgun Barrels
Post by: allaboutshooting on January 26, 2013, 10:27:13 AM
I recently completed a multi-year research project and published my results at http://allaboutshooting.com/article_info.php?articles_id=580

So much has been written about the effects of harmonics on rifle barrels but I could find no work on harmonics and shotgun barrels. If you take a look at the article you'll see that shotgun barrels are indeed affected and that it's possible to influence their performance by dampening harmonics.

I hope you find the article interesting and informative.

Thanks,
Clark

Fantastic article! You continue to work in an intelligent and diligent manner to improve the results from the guns that we use in this sport.

I'm glad that you are one of us!

Thank you for the kind words. I hope you and others will find the article to be helpful.

It was a long-term project that involved a lot of time, travel and ammo but the findings were worth the effort for what I learned.

I'm glad to be here too.

Thanks again,
Clark
