Rick, looks like you guys had your hands full with that kind of weather! Thank goodness you had a tree line behind you for a bit of shelter. Shooting in the wind seems to be a constant for us here in AZ. Still, fun stuff. Mark

Sounds good to me. Heck, I plan on shooting a FT match when I turn 100. that is, if I can still cock a springer. If not, off to the dark side and drag out one of my PCP's. Mark

Thanks Dan. We missed you! Next year, Okay? It will be Saturday and Sunday, but two weeks after Easter. Mark

We shot the AZ state piston shoot this past Friday and Saturday. Here is a link to the match results; https://www.airgunnersofarizona.org/2025-april-match-report It was WELL WORTH the effort to attend, compete, and enyoy everyones company. I will address the rationale behind shooting the...

Better than blowing out orings in your pcp and not knowing it........plus, you don't have to refill halfway through the match. The only way that you break springs is by.........."gasp"..........practiciing!.....a lot! That cannot be a bad thing. I get inside my piston gun every one to two...

The AZ state piston championship starts this coming Friday and will be a 2-day shoot, Friday and Saturday. This is piston only, no pcp's this year. The entries have been coming in regularly and we are expecting a good turnout. Hope to see you there.

Well, the Spring Fling is only about 3 weeks away and the entrants are growing. I am looking forward to this, especially because we get to remember Mike Smith, who hated "springer dingers" up until he actually got one. We will have fun.

Hey Jim, check this out! https://www.airgunnersofarizona.org/_files/ugd/228b00_c650054145c1452f864a27802a922bcc.pdf We shot our TRAC (Tuesday Retired Airgun Challenge) match today, with a "Jim's Folly" target, and had one of our guys topple it in some horrendous wind conditions. I attached our...

I am glad to hear that springers are making a comeback. It is a fun and accurate powerplant if someone wants to take the time to learn the gun. I prefer to shoot piston over PCP.

Hey Jim, Our Tuesday TRAC match is forecast as 15 mph winds out of the WNW with possible gusts to 30 mph. As a bonus target, I am going to set a 1/2" target at 55 yards and listen to the grumbling that may generate. Should be fun, regardless. I will let you know if anyone drops it. Mark

Jim! What were you thinking......1/2" at 55 Yards? HA............gonna have to try that to see if it is even doable. It is nice to see that 1/3 of the field was piston shooters....so near and dear to my own heart. We need more springer shooters! Spread the word. Mark
