Never heard of em :idunno:

New idea for old game. People are always trying something new like "super lube", "Magic cleaner" etc. When all that is needed is the old standards. I have seen them, but don't see where they would be any improvement over the old patches. :idunno:

Seems here was just a thread on these a few months ago. The daisy patch seems like trying to reinvent th wheel.

I use round patches for round barrels and octagon patches for octagon barrels. The "daisy" patches should work well if you carefully cut them to match the land and groove pattern and size of each given barrel. :stir: :wink:

Too much trouble for not enough benefit.

Thanks for the replies, & happy trails.

I remember it too. Someone I believe was going to get back with us on performance but didn't. Got basically the same replies, we are getting now.

I'm not sure what problem they solve, I'll stick to my regular patches.

I have never used them but I think they are just another "jim crack" to solve a problem that doesn't exist. One problem they will solve is that they will make your wallet a bit more comfortable to carry by flattening it a bit. :haha:

If I recall the source correctly there was a write-up on them in Muzzleloader mag a couple of issues back. Positive results reported.

John at October Country INc. is making them commercially for the high end shooter who wants to eliminate one more variable; wrinkes around patched round balls when loaded. They don't really appeal to me because I am simple musket trash but a guy trying to get that tiny bit smaller group in competition might appreciate the advantage.

Mike Nesbitt did review them and found them to be "the best," certainly some of the most expensive: http://www.octobercountry.com/categories/Patches-&-Wads/Lubed-Shooting-Patches/

They are a solution to solve only one's perception.

I know of no scientific analysis of them that has been either repeated or peer reviewed.

And since the inventor has not provided any such data, I must conclude that they were not invented for performance, but rather are merely a capital endeavor.

My idea also. Just a placebo.

Just from reading on this site alone, one will discover that there are a myriad of patch, lube, and wadding combinations that people use to achieve their satisfactory level of accuracy.

There are no "magic bullets"

I'm not afraid to admit that I did try them. I saw no difference in accuracy from my square cut patches. Not worth the expense in my opinion.

They're purrty. :grin:
