Sign me upThe simplest solution i can think of and cost no money is just unlimited shot's till you hit the intended target , Everybody gets a 1st place trophy !
No winners , no losers , no hurt feelings , no tear's ,and most of all ,no whining !
A hit isn’t always a ethical kill shot… I prefer preciseBut this is an international, organized, skill based competition.
The entire fall of society is due to putting the rules and the enforcement of them by the wayside in favor of immediate gratification and personal desires.
Taking the skills away would ruin the entire spirit of the sport.
it's math in the beginning, eventually you begin to just know distance based on size in reticle and where the parallax becomes crystal clear. I can just put something on my reticle, use my side focus wheel and have a good enough idea to score hits on game. I dont do FT.
just like AI and cellphones in school, always opting to rely on technology degrades skills and arrests development of knowledge.
Math?any Miliradian FFP scope or SFP MRAD set to its 1:1 magnification is an analog range finder.
Height of target in inches ÷ 36 x 1000 ÷ Mil reading= range in Yards
with MOA reticle it's
target size in inches x 95.5 ÷ MOA reading= range in yards
Commercially available/ Access to targets that can handle <100 fpe at 15 yards is pretty much non existent and when you do find a source it will cost you a bunch $$$Thats the field target conundrum right there. Field target is primarily run on dedicated equipment that borders on the esoteric.
XFT and 100y BR are thriving because the equipment is what everyone uses for plinking/hunting/etc.
We have lost more attendees to the new AG sports than old eyes, knees or backs.
If the game they play under NRL Hunter (the full size PB's, not the 22lr or AG NRL Hunter) was adapted to AG's I think it would be a big hit. It’s a bit more involved than what we do but just as challenging and would 100% have a practical application (hunting). The power level equalization factor would need to be inverted, but other than that it would be easy to adopt.
Umarex Surge in .177. Dont judge....Trying to get to 10 posts so I can message on the classifieds and upgrade to a nice PCP! lol
But it sure makes us aware of the windI'd rather see a bump in power than range finders.
Edit. I don't shoot WTFT, so it doesn't matter much to me. The super low power turns me off, honestly.
Stay between 2750 and 1500 psi and you should be in the sweet zoneThoughts, Shooting my Maurader Field Target.22 using Air Arms Diabolo Field 16 grams I get all pellets touching at 25+ yards.
Next day my groups are opening up....So my air pressure went down ,could that cause my groups to open up ,I mean it was not a big drop ,but it was getting down to 1000psi which I think is too low.What is your sweet spot? I think I keep it above 1500psi from now on.
Ok, the other problem could be me,I am not as good from one day to the nest![]()
Buy a round 6” mag wheel and it won’t matter… you’ll thank me later!I am looking for a new scope and side wheel combination for field target. I really want a removable side wheel.
JD custom is what I have now. It is great. But I’m shopping around while they are restocking inventory.
I just discovered that the coma side wheels come in two directions. If the parallax wheel turns clockwise to increase magnification it is one type and if turning counter clockwise increases magnification it is the other style.
Can someone please show a picture of how it should be set up.
Nice addition to your collection. Can you tell us how much the M4 Micro cost in the UK and how much an M4 Compact cost just for reference? Also, which caliber is this?
35 cal at 80 yards hits like a sledge hammer polymags![]()
