    Arken EPL4 6-24x50 Warning

    Nope, their specs say 10yards, not meters. 12.5 yards is what I measured, which equates to 11.4 meters anyway. It seems to be a good scope, just not for field target shooting.

    🌳Sherwood Airgunners🌳Field Target Match Report for October 1, 2023

    Keith, I apologize for offending you - that was certainly not my intention. I appreciate all of your and Doug's hard work and investment in making Sherwood a great place to shoot. I simply wanted to point out that course was tougher than the Troyer Rating belayed. It was certainty a...

    🌳Sherwood Airgunners🌳Field Target Match Report for October 1, 2023

    Keith, Thank you for sharing the course rating! It is very helpful to figure out what were the misses related to, I wish other clubs would post theirs. One note, is that it does not appear that you factored in the targets with significant elevation differences into the Troyer Rating. AAFTA...

    Athlon's two new 15-60x56's

    I looked through the Ares ETR 15-60x56 at the Pyramyd Air Cup last weekend at the Athlon truck stand. There was terrible chromatic aberration (purple fringing) at 40x, along with a brown fringing along the edges. I am wondering if the scope that they had on display was a pre-production...

    So what were the top ten rifles in the BR at PAC?

    My take on the 100 yd bench at PAC, in shooting the first two cards next to Thane, is that Val and Thane (and their teammates) are on the next level reading wind and weather patterns. Their rifles and pellets were a low second to their wind and shooting skills. Thane knew in advance that the...

    Arken EPL4 or…?

    Did anyone have problems with the EPL4 6-24x50 focusing down to 10 yards as advertised? Mine only focused to 12.5 yards, so no good for field target.

    Arken EPL4 6-24x50 Warning

    Just a fair warning that the Arken EPL4 6-24x50 may not focus down to 10 yards for those that are interested in it for Field Target. I was super excited to try it, as the side parallax knob rotates about 240 degrees! I thought that it would be the bees knees so to speak for ranging. I got a...

    Bronze bushing for Tony Leach skirtless piston

    Wow, this thread really blows my mind! I thought I was going crazy last summer with really crappy FT match scores. I have 3 Tony Leach Kits (one 20mm and two 22mm) in various TX200's (both WFTF and HFT, plus a spare). I set them up in the basement at 11.5 fpe or less, where it's cool and...

    SKOUT Epoch - First shots right out of the box!

    Awesome video, thank you so much for a real world, honest video. I stopped watching many other channels. How much did the Epouch bark? Also, does the fit and finish look good or is it a bunch of chinesium assembled in PA? From some of the other videos I gleaned that there seems to be a lot of...

    FX Ballistic Chronograph

    Hi, Did anyone catch the presentation of the new FX Ballistic Chronograph (not the pocket chronograph) at ShotShow 2023? It is presented in the video link at 4:40: Obscure channel, but had some cool stuff. Maybe I missed an earlier FX announcement or maybe I am stealing someones thunder, but...
