"Posting ranges skunks those who want the additional traditional challenge."

Just put the ranges on the score card for that class, and have those folks all shoot together.....

As you guys are all getting so good with the scores that you have been posting...

... thought you might like to see & try out the types of targets that the International Benchrest Guys (like Rickie the Airgunnero) shoot in competitions.

Attached is the WRABF 25 meter (27.34 yards) Benchrest Target. This file has their official target sizes but has been rejiggered to fit on our typical US Letter paper size - so you can print it easily at home and try it.

I've also done some research and attached the ring sizes of the WRABF 25 meter (25 meters is a similar distance to our 30 yard challenge) and the WRABF 50 meter targets. Dang! Those competition bench rest shooters are good.

For comparison, the 10-ring on our 30/40 Challenge target measures .13 inches - which is 3.3mm (millimeters).

Even crazier, all those UK shooters of this target are using 12 ft/lb .177 rifles to shoot this 25 meter target in the wind...

Happy Shooting,

-Ed

My wife and I were at our gun club several years ago and a woman member asked my wife if we would like to participate in a husband and wife shoot.
My wife replied "Who shoots first"!

Given this is the GK1 masterthread, what are all the different types of lubricant that the GK1 needs? Are we talking grease? Oil? 100% silicone? Something else?

For example, people talk of degassing with unscrewing the brass screw under the loading gate - if you do this it makes sense that air will push lubricant out. Do you replace the lubricant - and with what? Or not?

Thanks

We have an "Unlimited" class already that is not observed in any way but is there for anyone who wants to shoot it. Use your rangefinder if you want.

just making the kill zones square instead of round would solve any rangefinding advantage anyone

Please explain this.... I have one idea, but beyond that, no idea how'd that could be

Guts looking at that picture tells me that is not a carbon fibre tank I could be wrong the OP can clairify looks like an aluminum scuba tank

Nice. I’ve seen a few today, none have come in my yard.

I just had a plinking session with my R7 at steel targets.

Just shot my daily paper. I figure since I do this every day, this thread may get obnoxious with my posts of the same bit. I’ll post when I opt to shoot positionally or do something different.

I agree I do think this is a junior now from looking at pictures.

There are a lot of good reasons to allow range finders in a separate class. Posting ranges skunks those who want the additional traditional challenge.

WFTF coordinates over many countries which restricts change.
The challenge for change/inclusion will be more of a cultural challenge against tradition.

Americans are far more receptive to change, or challenge authority or shake things up, for better or worse. We have 4 divisions at most matches, 3 recognized for competition one is freestyle.

Just posting the ranges would make more sense. Then the new shooters wouldn't even have to buy a rangefinder.

Of course, just making the kill zones square instead of round would solve any rangefinding advantage anyone had and make it the same no matter what scope you used.

But, I agree with Jim. Never gonna happen.

Why not just start your own organization and see how many people really feel the way you do?

Tootsie Pops could have a new ad slogan:

"How many SHOTS does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?"

Ooops. Thanks guys! Doing to many things at once today!

I'm with you brother. Anything run by the government......is a mess. More packages shipped now than ever in history and the PO is losing billion$. Go figure.
And their package insurance, don't even get me started on that!

I treat both the same,I want a springer rated scope;your scope should be fine.

I guess I won't be ordering that pellet sizing gizmo! Very interesting!

Here’s mine but at 15 yards for the Juniors tonight. Putting them on my Pathfinder with a red dot sight atop…

Was testing the setup an hour ago…

I needed to get everything mounted and at the correct height before I could start the fine tuning. Saturday will be a lot of fun.
