    Field Target is an arms race.

    Is there any real evidence that FT is dwindling because it's too expensive? In the 12 years I've been around it I've never heard of anyone that left because it was too costly. I would imagine a new budget based division would have the potential to be as popular as the basic break barrel...

    Thomas Air Headspace tweaking, not the kind between your ears

    Seating depth matters....but I don't see big differences on the low power guns. You can see significant differences on the higher powered guns like Tims. Changing lot numbers of pellets will require you to start all over when looking for optimum. Mike

    30 cal pellet at 100

    Shot this one earlier in shifty morning wind. Biggest hold was about 1.25 bulls left and smallest was 6 ring right. I scored it as a RMAC/PAC card with a .350" plug. The inside of the N50 9 ring is nearly the same as the RMAC 10 and the N50 6 ring an about .040" smaller than the RMAC 9...

    Daystate I do not know if should be angry or happy.

    If you can eject a projectile from your rifle....it has a crown. The crown is the last thing a bullet touches before leaving the barrel. The crown must be perpendicular to the bore and burr free. Anything else is superficial. Mike

    Petition to Allow Laser Range Finders in Field Target Competitions

    This is a wftf petition. Not a hunter or unlimited thing, The comical part of the whole range finder petition is that there is no real evidence that it is even a real advantage of any kind in wftf. Please note that I said wftf, which is what the "petition" is directed towards. I'm in the...

    Field Target is an arms race.

    One year at Cajuns it was in the high 80s on the last day. After the match I put my gun in the trunk of the car and headed home to a massive snowstorm in Colorado, I left the gun in the car til the next morning after the storm and when I took it out the barrel was around mid 20s. The first...

    Field Target is an arms race.

    I'm going to point out a few things here that I tend to think should be obvious but clearly are not when I hear the comments being made. If you want to compare accuracy of anything...you don't do it by small sample group size or by shooting at a ft target. You do it by shooting benchrest...
