I have a stupid question Semi. Is there any patch that would work that is slightly less thick than the pillow ticking you are using?
Not a stupid question at all Flounder. You made me go and look through my target file to see if I had used thinner patches with a .575 ball before.
DANG!! My memory isn't worth a hoot. Shoulda` checked that file sooner. Look at these targets from June of 2010 with .016 patches.
Question is, do you really shoot that .58 enough to justify casting for it? I suspect you probably shoot your .54 a whole lot more.
I do shoot the 54s more Bronko. There's just something satisfying about shooting balls you've cast yourself. Besides, the more you cast the more you shoot.
I got a call from my roofing buddy a half-hour ago telling me he has another sixty pounds or so of soft lead roof jacks sitting in his shed waiting for me to pick them up. :woot:

See breathing in all those lead fumes is affecting your brain. You better send some of that lead to me.
PS: What's with the one ball always away from the group? You better teach all your balls to 'stay between the lines'.

I always feel obligated to put one shot out of the group just to prove I'm human.

You're lucky you have a lead source. That .016 patch looks good. If you will shoot pre cut, I have a bunch of .015 if they would work for you.

Thanks for the offer Cayugad. But I have a lot of that .016 stuff. It's from a linen table cloth I got a few years back for a few bucks from a GoodWill, Red White & Blue, or Salvation Army store. Can't recall which. Anyway, that sucker was about eight feet long and five feet wide. That's a LOT of patch material. The neat thing is it has a pattern of colored squares that make it real easy to cut patches by following the pattern lines.
