Since this question seems to have fallen victim to “lead poisoning” 😉 over in the “Simon says” thread, I’ll raise it here in a new one.
I don’t doubt that Simon Reinhold knows his way around side by sides. He is the current SxS champion in UK. (If one of our British brothers will give me the exact wording of his title I’ll gladly update this.). In the most recent TGS video he asserts (@ 5:20f) that “Muzzle flip with a side by side is down not up.”? I have to say I’m in Ant’s camp on this one, “Doesn’t seem so.”
Could some of you with a physics backgrounds expound on this?
No physics from me brother. It was a miracle that I pulled off a B in Physics 101 at Mizzou. Just keep repeating "It's vectors"
From Peter Blakeley "Successful Shotgunning"
Slow motion SxS, O/U and repeater recoil (I've always learned best with pictures) I don't see much deflection down, but certainly laterally with recoil with the SxS
Live action (the first minute) from the 1912 Stockholm Olympics. Not at a good angle to see any sideways flip, but I think there is a difference in the up-flip between the SxSs and the (oh the shame) repeaters
