Is it safe to use it with big shot and how

For intricate dies, place the metal shim under the first plate and then the die with paper on top, followed by the second plate. Run through the Big Shot. The metal shim makes the design cut through the paper so the paper releases better.

I use the "Shoot". I don't know if it is the best or the most but it works reliably and the price is about $25.

Yes you can, it works great, every time I shoot outdoors I use it, fit well in the LCD screen, my only objection is the key control if you want to zoom in and move the image, but not grat deal. Buy it.

It all depends on the type of shot you want to take,I have used it both ways with great results.

It is a gamble. Mine was total crap, same problem tons of other people had. Wont shoot half the time, and when it does a few go good the rest just fall out barrel or shoot 5 feet, I would tell you not to get this one there are others on amazon way better. About the shot gun,, i Knoiw my shot gun shoots about 350 fps,, it shot right through pepsi cans and shoots really good with heavy bb.

There are two accessories you should get with this camera. Rechargable batteries and a 2GB memory card. The camera comes with 2 AA alkalies and a 16MB memory card. The alkalies will give you a little over 100 shots but the 16MB card can only hold a fraction of those shots before it runs out of space. With a 2GB card and a set of rechagables you'll be ready to go. People have mistakenly stated that this camera eats batteries but that is simply not true. The camera has an overly sensitive low battery indicator that comes on when the batteries are only 1/4 used. Just ignore it and continue to shoot. I find I can get near 400 shots with rechargables before the batteries truly are drained. A "Change Battery Message" will be displayed at this point. This is different then the faulty low battery icon. At this point the camera will not operate until fresh batteries are in place. It might be that other cameras get way more then 400 shots, I don't know, but I don't find this limit a problem. Not too long ago I and everyone else changed out film cans every 24-36 shots. Oh, you can tell the size of your memory card by going into the menu, settings, format card. You should also be aware that it's advisable to format your card once and a while and not simply erase pics. It seems memory cards for all cameras will begin to act strange after some time if you just erase your photos. So keep your card healthy by formating it. Formating of course deletes all photos so do this only after saving to your computer.

Hi Glad to Help. Yes you can use it Off Camera. I use mine Off Camera alla the time with RadioTriggers but you can can shoot it with Optical firing (with your on CAmera Flash). It is a very powerful and easy to use Flash. You will not be Dissapointed if you buy it....Aaron

Karla I have not tried the action shots yet. I was hoping to be able to do this as well, since it was stated that it will take action shots! My friend told me to do the same thing that D. Black suggested. Give it a try and let us know what happens! Happy Shooting!

Yes, you can mount it on anything with a Pica tinny Rail. Shot gun Huh? That's a good idea! I guess you would want to adjust the aim point to the center of your buckshot pattern. Make sure that you don't use AA Batteries. They are a waste of time. They only last a few minutes and over time many leak and corrode your Digisight on the inside. Buy the external EP battery pack. They sell two kinds a small one that mounts to the rail on the scope, and a great big one you put somewhere else (I don't know I don't use the big one) I use a hand held digital monocular until I see what I am looking for then I turn the executioner on!

You may have a wait while it recycles between shots, bu it shouldn't be a problem. Just be sure you have sufficient top pressure to initially activate the plunger. It's a nice tool! Don't forget to clean the jaws as they can jam if you use aluminum rivets or cheap rivits.

Absolutely! And nicely, only problem you will experience is the 'reload' capability. Would suggest getting one of those 5-shot 'strip' reloaders put out by Bianchi and others. Otherwise, in all ways, a very nice rig. Use mine daily and highly recommend. Hope this helps. Best, H.

There is no difference at all. This die cutter was a gift for my daughter because she wanted to make jewelry with metal pieces but you really can do the same thing with the Big Shot. They are the same machine but The newest Bigshot has a longer platform.

I can't really say that it is safe but we did when we were at the range and nothing bad happened. Just make sure to wear eye protection because we could see the 9mm fragmentation spray out from the target when we uses some of the home protection hollow points and etc. The FMJs we did not see anything like that or on the .40 cal FMJs since that is all we have for the .40s. It did not hurt the target at all though. It was fun to rapid fire from the pistols and get a bunch of 'pings' in a row.

We have used only .12 g and even then, the gun tends to jam sometimes when in automatic mode. I think a larger bb would only make the problem worse.

These are magnetic sheets that hold your metal dies when not in use and they fit in a hard plastic ArtBin case. They are just sheets of magnet. You might be able to use one as a shim to hold your die in place when running through your Big Shot but I've never tried it. You would have to put the die, sharp side up. You would also need to play around with your platforms to see which combination would work with the added bulk of the magnet. Another company makes a magnetic platform which is hard plastic that is specifically designed to work with your Big Shot. I have that and it works wonderfully. I got mine through Stampin' Up. Hope this helps.
