    Exactly, with delay. Figuring out the proper delay is cirtical, then its easy!

    I don't see any bullets...

    BB gun?

    Pellet gun?

    What trigger did you use, George?

    I used a pellet pistol and a Hi Viz (www.hiviz.com) delay trigger. I mistakenly ordered two, so if anyone wants one new in box, let me know and I will save you the postge.

    Nice shots, Z. I, too, like the ornament shot.

    Pellet guns send projectiles at a much slower rate than powder guns. So, if you want the pellet in the picture, move the sensor closer to the pistol. Harold Edgerton did hundreds of frames before he captured any bullets.

    By the way, how much for the sensor? I may be interested in it.

    I am only about two dozen shots in, so perhaps there is still some learning curve. I have seen his photos of the exploding apple and playing card, complete with bullet. Fantastic. You have a better appreciation for the sport!

    I sent you a PM with the sensor information. I hope you get it.
