    Design a perfect field target facility

    Shade Rudy, shade. Nobody likes to cook in the sun while they're sitting at the lane markers or scoring their squadmates. I love the forest matches where pockets of shade can be chosen as the lane markers. We've got these in various Ponderosa pine national forests here in AZ, as well as at...

    Pellets vs 1st Gen vs 2nd gen slugs

    I was thinking anything above that arbitrary BC of 0.12-0.15 from the first gen slugs would be a gen2/bullet. That seems to be the defining characteristic separating the two, MUCH improved performance from the bullets over the gen1 "slugs", especially at 100+ yards. BC is just a way to...

    My Nemesis

    Find your holdover point on the reticle while off to the side, where it's more visibly seen. Then swing over while focusing your eyes on that holdover point of the crosshairs. For my eyes I've found that it's easier to visually keep the crosshair than it is to FIND the crosshair on a dark target.

    Events Ultimate Field Target May 2024 Night Match @ PRGC

    Moon is gonna be big and bright, should make for a really neat match. Ben also bought a bunch of new path lights. With the holiday weekend, for those unretired amongst us, likely won't have to work on Monday, so stay out late on Sat night and shoot some Ultimate Field Target! You'll have two...

    Pellets vs 1st Gen vs 2nd gen slugs

    @JungleShooter, I agree on the Corbin made Skout and the ZAN ELR, those both seem to be gen 2s. I imagine there's a BC cutoff somewhere for the gen1, probably something like 0.12-0.15? What says the gen pop here on AGN? And above that BC cutoff is a gen2/bullet.

    Pellets vs 1st Gen vs 2nd gen slugs

    Gen 1 versus Gen 2 is just my verbiage. Slug versus bullet is probably a more clear delineation. BCs, and therefore performance, are vastly different. Gen 1 "slug" are these and similar.... Gen 2 "bullets" are these and similar.....

    Pellets vs 1st Gen vs 2nd gen slugs

    I was recently quoted in an oldd conversation about slugs and thought it better to start a new topic rather than continue over there. The newest flavor of slugs, the kind that look like rimfire bullets, ala Altaros and the type Mike Nische has been recently sharing results from, are not the...

    0db Moderator

    I agree, the 0DB 110 is just not very effective as a standalone moderator. Where I've find it works best is as an add-on to a shroud, preferably a shroud that has some baffles or an internal air stripper of some sort. I've stuck my 110 on the end of a Veteran shroud, the end of a Red Wolf...

    Gun Room/Armory Ideas

    A computer. Between airgun forums and YouTube teardown vids and ballistic apps and fpe calculators and typing up dope sheets, I'm mighty glad to have a computer in my gunroom.

    All Things PARD Night Vision & Thermal Optics Thread

    @PARD and @PARD_Tech....Similar request here for the DS35.....can we get a firmware upgrade to get 22.4x for the DS35? The fact that max magnification is 11.2 is the only reason why it's currently not mounted on any of my guns. Get me some 22.4x and I'll be sharing Pdog footage all summer, and...

    Other Great pressure gauge positioning

    This was the first place I saw the side hanger gauge up at the front of the tube, (other than the FX back on the breech block). https://www.pyramydair.com/product/diana-xr200-pcp-air-rifle?m=6009

    Other Great pressure gauge positioning

    My favorite gauge location....don't have to turn the gun around and/or upside down. Stole @cavedweller s photo cuz a screen grab was easier than digging for a photo on my phone of my own. Ghost is similar but slightly less convenient, but with gauges on both side, gotta maneuver the gun to...

    Brocock/BRK BRK Ghost long term

    Most LW blanks are 24" I think the standard process is for guys to cut x" off the breech end (to preserve the choke) id they're wanting a shorter barrel. You'd likely sell some if you choose to make them.

    Brocock/BRK BRK Ghost long term

    It is a Lothar, 12 land and groove, 1:17.7, and choked. But the Ghost takes a 15mm barrel so about 0.59mm. And it's 18-19 inches long, I forget exactly which right now. I've shared this a few times but I'm sure it's gotten lost in all the Ghost related comments.... The barrel has an...

    Other "Sub MOA all day" Challenge

    The best I've seen with MRDs, after a hard, 5 year long fight and lots of barrels. Dunno if it's all "LR" RTI barrels, or if this one is special, but I'm so far very happy with the results.

    Other "Sub MOA all day" Challenge

    I can share some 4x5s in the future. I really like the format of sequential shots, either all into one group or of multiple groups, no sighters. Showing all shots taken really shows what a gun can do. This was yesterday morning at 99 yards. It was taken while measuring BCs and the focus was...

    Maximum distance for accurate pellet shooting.

    Yeah buddy, I feel ya. I've tried to bring it back to pellets more times than I can remember this late at night. Certain contingent keeps piping in, almost like they're selling slugs or something, and they don't want anybody to realize pellets can still be quite accurate at long range too.

    Practice, Training and attending matches

    I typically consider the following a practice session.... Shoot at paper in at least one yard increment from 10-20 yards, and then from 20-55 @ random increments. I shoot from the position I'll use during the match (ie, NOT a bench). I range each distance with the scope, and use the...

    Maximum distance for accurate pellet shooting.

    Post # 32 earlier in this discussion. Pretty traditional pellet shape. I'm not the only one stretching the. 20/15.89 so far. The long range capability of the .20/15.89 has been witnessed by others, not just me living in "bedtime stories." To clarify for the third time, I'm not getting...
