Of course this is only on paper, this is all been done a new software,I shoot BP. There is one major advantage of air. Fouling. Oh and Shot preparation And noise, and cost per shot. And the giant cloud of sulfury goodness.
Although, maybe I should take the whitworth or martini Henry pesting.
I raise you the .451 whitworth.

I don’t use hold overs, I dial.Hi cahil One question: on sfp scope at different magnification it change holdovers but if i adjust with turret the click value remain the same even at different magnification or It change like holdovers? Thank you!
IMHO you were doing good right until the last line. Yeah, we need to encourage ways for new shooters to get into a match and still knock down targets. No, what we dont need is people with 20+ years of FT going out there and absolutely dominating a newbie friendly class so that it's unsurprisingly 'uncompetitive' for the noobs to join. Adding in cash prizes just to give the old guys more incentive to go beat up on new people will SURELY bring more fodder for us to stomp on.Over the years of running a club and GP matches, we have seen a lot of folks that don't come back after they see what it's gonna take to play the game with any chance of even doing OK, let alone getting to the winners circle.
When they understand that it takes at least $1,500 to get set up with all the equipment, and then a whole lot of time finding and learning a steady position, and then a lot of time practicing follow through and wind reading. They just don't come back.
We find it's the retired folks who have that time and dedication... and money to freely spend in their retirement, that stick it out and come back to compete over the long run.
I agree that "stand alone" matches for the low price point equipment would be a great way to get that class going... along with having those classes at the regular matches. I still think there are some folks like Scott Hull who like to whoop the high price rigs with low price point equipment they upgrade. That attitude can be developed in others, I believe.
The Stand Alone, everyone has to shoot equipment in one of the two low price point classes, would encourage purchasing the equipment and trying it out for both newbies and experienced competitors who can afford to, and often just like collecting air guns and making them shoot as good as possible. Especially if the vendors would step up and offer some great prizes for the matches... and I think they would, I know AirGun Oregon would.
What ya say folks, would you try it out if the prizes were there for motivation?
Is this personal experience? Others report the opposite... that they've had no issues with it picking up other shooters' shots.Thumbs down! If you shoot adjacent to other shooters it will not only pick up your gun … BUT … it ALSO picks up the guy next to you. Garmin and FX will only pick up one gun.
