As published on the shootingwirehttp://www.shootingwire.com/Bumpy Bullets Better?
In golf, dimples are the wings of a golf ball. It's not the high coefficient of restitution that gives a ball it's distance, although the compression (that's COR) does help with the slingshotting effect off the club face. |

Interesting. I've been wondering what the next tech advancement would be to increase velocity. Less drag,kinda like Barnes' triple groove.

Looks like an April fools prank from last year. Sorry Chris if I just Pyro'd your post. Was looking for pics as I had bit and found this. Edited by SD Dog - March/19/2010 at 17:03 |

I was thinking it was a little early for April Fools jokes. If it will make you feel better, I will try to shoot a golf ball next time I'm out on the range.

Read the whole thing. Was going to ask where the pics were, but then saw it was a fake. Not a cool thing to do.

Yea, I was thinkin next we will see dimpled jets, planes and why aren't the UFO's dimpled. Oh well, maybe I'll experiment with the design myself. It helped on a car for Myth-busters why not everything else.

Here is an explanation of dimples for golf balls. It would significantly reduce the predictability of a bullet's trajectory, which is already tough enough...

So would that be a 1 or 2 stroke penalty for slicing a shot out of the shooting range?

Um..........They are custom. Letting the cat out of the bag a bit with that picture. Some day they may be available for purchase. It has a nose cavity like this. Edited by trigger29 - March/23/2010 at 16:51 |
