I received a new Skout hybrid barrel and it appeared to have an indexing mark between 2 and 3: So I wanted to verify, and shot this pattern from 21 yards during a break in the rain: The upper and lower groups are pre and post zeroing groups. The index numbers according to barrel rotation...

How do you prepare a new Barrel for BR Competition? Does Rifled VS. Poly change your method? Do you "ultra clean" then start the leading in fresh? Does a "new to you" barrel/rifle differ from a factory new barrel/rifle? My Basics: Patchworm with Ballistol Borescope inspect Maybe scrub with...

I’ve purchased several SShot loaders and mags from CARM. Darko does great work of very high quality, top materials. My BRK Commander magazine has had zone problems. I also have FX Impact . 25 magazines and I’m testing Skout EVO .22 magazines for him. FYI, Skout magazines fit both the EPOCH...

Having purchased both, if the basis is bang for buck- Helix hands down. Titan is almost double the price, but the Helix is very clear. I liked the Helix turrets better, but preferred the Titan reticle for AAFTA Hunter field Target. If the Helix had an Illuminated reticle, I would still own...

Family guy, Welcome to the friendly world of FT. FT shooters tend to regularly acquire new(er) equipment just because we can afford something different. That means there are some great deals on their previous favorite rifles/scopes/pellets/equipment. If you put the word out, most shooters...

No Work day Sat - Club closed for special event - (wedding!)

Unexpectedly, the flooded targets are perfectly clean on the bottom side. Only the tops where the sediment settled are mud crusted. The targets that were vertical have mud on both sides. Now we know how important it is to use the shelves. 😀

Due to extensive flooding, and more rain forcast, the May match is cancelled. We will be working on the course Sat AM for anyone needing some cardio time and or B.S. time with fellow shooters. We may be able to set up a few targets for some fun shootin! Bring some Gatorade and come join us...

National 50 Benchrest has a 6 plug set for $38 shipped. Includes .350 dia in 177/22/25 and 30. https://national50.org/target/

UPDATE: I had bought a Saber Tac benchrest monopod last year for the PA cup and wanted to see if I could adapt it to work on my EVO w/ skeletonized butt stock that is narrower at the bottom than the top. Here’s the result: STac uses M5 socket head cap screws that recess into the stock mounted...

I posted about a bag rider when I got my EVO, but I bought a Saber Tac benchrest monopod last year for the PA cup and wanted to see if I could adapt it to work on my EVO w/ skeletonized butt stock that is narrower at the bottom than the top. Here’s the result: STac uses M5 socket head cap...

yes, @okieairgunner tell us about your bag rider!

I don’t know man, that looks like more than 1inch! I’m bringing my ruler to ROT!

Jim, You are right that BC varies greatly from pellet to pellet, but that comes down to individual pellet design. Given the same weight, a short fat (larger Dia.) pellet will have a lower BC than a smaller dia, longer pellet. A tight waisted pellet = lower BC than a broad waisted pellet. You...

That looks nice - and hand made, even better. Electrons were my area of engineering expertise. 30 yr field service eng but not a fabricator.....Yet. Thanks for the link.
