Even with the 4x scope, I'm pretty much centering the reticle on the blurry smudge.... Eyes just aren't what they used to be. (No focus on the scope doesn't help.)

Going to the Range Today 1) Dodge the rabid foxes: 2) Get everything ready: 3) Do this 50x: 4) Shoot pretty much the same scores as last week:

I have a Sig Sauer MCX Virtus PCP. It recently started leaking through the fill nipple on the air tank. (Not the threads, through he valve.) I contacted warranty support and they informed me I couldn't just ship them the bottle, I had to send the entire rifle in. (OK, whatever. S&W made me send...

I like position shooting, so, pretty much any kind of unsupported or sling support only match. Since I'm the only one in my area who runs any air rifle matches, they've all been some form of offhand. The least amount of equipment requirements make it easy for casual shooters to drop in and have...

Kind of unremarkable today. Today's worst wasn't quite as bad as my previous worst and today's best wasn't quite as good as my previous best. So... OK.

The hardest match I ever shot/hosted was an air rifle silhouette match. IIRC, it only went out to 45 yards or so but it haunts everyone who shot it to this day. At other matches people still just shake their heads when they talk about it.

Excellent! Off to a great start!

Nice! Much more consistent. Tidy up a couple fliers and you'll really have it on the run!

On the upside, it was getting better and better. Until the over correction. ;)

I say, let's start another thread for this target with iron sights. I might still be able to pull off a decent target with them. (A few years ago I was faced with adding a rear diopter to my service rifle for high power or going match rifle. Right about then CMP & NRA started allowing up to a...

Gave it another go Friday and shot my best score, a 244. And then I shot my worst score, a 233. Had fun anyway, it's nice to have a challenge my 10 meter gun is good for. Overcast again and getting chilly but no wind.

Instead of my usual SR reduced to 10 meters, I gave this one a try today: Conditions were outdoor overcast, slight wind to the right on second half of second card. Scope is a no name 4x duplex. Upper is Crosman MAR-177. Lower is my regular High Power lower with Geiselle two stage NM Service...
