Wind effects on rotating bodies. Magnus effect? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnus_effect. Aero Jump? IDK but it's real. Significant on 22LR. I've seen a pellet rose but I could not duplicate effects. See #11 & 14. https://www.badassoptic.com/28-external-ballistic-effects/ RF Wind rose...
Yes, RF is easier, a bit more predicable, less wild fliers, plus the bc makes it easier. I'm an ol' time RF benchrester so the transition to pellet was complicated. I've learned a bit so it's not as frustrating and I've come to prefer it. Your 2nd paragraph is perfectly worded and is, I'm sure...
Yes, you are right Dr. Kim, pellets should not normally be competitive in Sportsman Class. But it has been done before. I was awarded 2021, end of year, 2nd place Sportsman shooting mostly pellets. At Raton Nationals, all 3 years those shooting pellet rifles scored very well against both...
End of May N50 Agg-Line leader-board updated again. Not much changed. Eddie bumped BobS in Sportsman. Joe Haubert finally filled the 5th place hole in Factory 22. Lots of shooters with just 2 cards shot waiting for the 3rd to jump in the leaderboard. If you see errors let me know. Thanks...
Nice day today, very mild winds but switchy with drops. Good scores. All sportsman today, Bob shot his 9 card pellet class limit for the month so he had to shoot Sportsman class with his pellet rifle and did well. JoeF and his 60Xs!... Dennis & Keith always fight it out. National 50 Nationals...

May N50 Agg-Line leader-board updated. World Champ BobS shot 1st 750 in Pellet and he jumped to 1st place. Look at Sportsman X count - 154 - 157! Dana jumped up to 1st and BobS is in 5th place with his pellet rifle. Joe is creeping up in Pro. If you see errors let me know. Thanks...
Hey Grunt, Train for the discipline; real "benchrest" or shooting from on "top of the bench". There is a difference. Some start at 25m competitions to learn the basics, graduate/expand to 50y competition, then move to 100y for fun or when AG technology is better. Finally pick what distance...
Mike Niksch hosted the last USARB Nationals at Raton, NM - 2019. It was good. Both JoeF and MikeN tried many times since to get it going again. It's only going to happen if more of us request it. https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/25m-usarb-nationals-have-begun.577766/...
Thirteen shooters showed up for a nice overcast cool Mother's day. Conditions were mild for the most part. BobS shot his 1st 750 in N50 Pellet so a big congrats to him - plus it's the 1st 750 in Pellet Class. He also won Sportsman 2nd match beating the rimfire guys with his pellets. JoeF shot...
Nice overcast but switchy day and it got tougher as we went along. National 50 Nationals https://www.nrawc.org/events/items/n-50-national-championship-air-rifle/ https://www.national50.net/events N50: https://www.national50.net/ FB N50: https://www.facebook.com/50National/ AirGunNation...
Thanks for the h/t. But we normally reserve the plug set for new N50 Clubs. Sorry, but I'm sure you all understand. I'm pretty sure I covered this subject before.
When I asked Mike to make me moderator he said, "why do you want make your rifle less accurate?" I'd trust the words of guy that shoots 1000's a day... Something you may want to consider when trying to get better. Hi Dan 👋
