5x10 Elliptical

[foreign object]

My Sharpshooter coil died today on my F75.
Wondering if any of you guys used the Fisher 5x10 and what your thoughts are.

Thanks

I just got a 5x10 and it works just fine, and I like the footprint a little better than the NEL sharpshooter. As for dept it is a little less on my air testing. Here is my testing results for all the coils I could get my hands on.

Please note that I added up the disc depth to get a score for each coil, and I didn't include AM numbers because I don't hunt in AM. Those numbers are at the right of the chart in the colored boxes.

Also note the top chart was using a clad quarter and the bottom one I was using a clad dime for a target.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for the info Ron.

Weight wise how do they compare between the Sharpshooter and 5x10?

I knew they were pretty close to the same, but I put them on a scale and the NEL sharpshooter is 15oz and the 5x10 is 1lb-1oz.

The 5 x 10 DD weighs more then the Sharpshooter? That really surprises me. I had a 5 x 10 on my last LTD and I may have bet the ranch, If I had one, that it was several ounces lighter then the Sharpshooter I have on my A T Pro. But, I have never weighed them. Thanks for the info. HH jim tn

I preferred the 5x10 to the stock in tot lots but the Sharpshooter beats them both.

Why do prefer the sharpshooter?

It's lighter , more nimble/gets closer around the equipment , quieter , has good depth and covers much more ground than the 5" and is a DD where most of the ground I hit detect is 3 or 4 bars and GBs in the upper 80s.
In addition , I sold the 5x10 with the first F75 and bought the NEL with the second , so that's the one I have.
