Batha (IF QUOTED CORRECTLY) is full of crap.
Earlier in this thread I attributed a statement regarding the effects of the Cutts Compenstor on shotgun patterns to a passage in a book by Chris Batha. Shotgunjones' words here prompted me to reconsider what I had said and to make it a point to stop by Barnes & Nobles on the way home today in order to verify by locating the statement in Mr. Batha's book. As it turns out I was wrong; Batha was NOT the author of that statement. The mistake was entirely my fault.
Obviously this sort of irresponsible posting on an internet forum, especially one of this caliber, can impact the reputation and credibility of an acknowledged authority and expert of Chris Batha's station. For that reason it was important that the correction be posted as soon as possible. I certainly owe him an apology for any harm this stupidity has caused and will be sending him a personal statement saying so immediately. Also, for the sake of clarification here, I will post the correct attribution as soon as I'm absolutely certain of it.
My post was submitted some time after 10 pm last night. A very long day and three glasses of wine apparently were enough to fog both memory and perception as evidenced by syntax, grammar and rather fuzzy logic re: angles and shot strings.
