    30-Yard Challenge

    After spending most of the afternoon sitting in my chair watching car races, I went outside stretch my legs and discovered that wind conditions were absolutely non-existent. Since it was already 5:30 p.m. I figured I might be able to shoot a card or two before dark or the wind kicked up again...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Due to the extreme heat I haven't been shooting very many cards other than one or two just before sunset occasionally. Today, it was 97F so, I decided to defrost the freezer in the garage and in the process I realized that it was quite uncomfortable as there was only a light breeze blowing...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Experienced another period of virtually calm conditions following a rain shower late this afternoon so, I decided to attempt to improve on my existing 30 YD Masters Leaderboard score. Didn't quite achieve my goal but I got one X closer. I submit the attached card for the Leaderboard.

    30-Yard Challenge

    I have been shooting my budget, unregulated .177 CZ-200s over the past few days when wind conditions have been favorable. As a result, I have two cards two cards to submit for the 30-yd Challenge leaderboards.

    30-Yard Challenge

    We experienced weather conditions today almost as good as yesterday except for wind speed which I would guess was in the 1-3 mph range. I submit the two attached cards for the 30YD Challenge leaderboard.

    30-Yard Challenge

    Returned home this afternoon around 4:30, retrieved the mail and suddenly realized there was only a very slight breeze blowing. Dumped the mail on the kitchen counter and headed for the garage to get my wind flags and a 40 YD Masters card put out before the conditions changed. Went as follows...

    30-Yard Challenge

    The rains finally stopped and the sun came out today for the first time in a week. Wind conditions were quite mild so I couldn't resist shooting a couple of targets. Retrieved USFT #85 out of storage, blew the dust off and shot the first 30 YD Challenge card with 2012 vintage Air Arms 13.4...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Wonderful weather today, no rain showers and mild wind conditions provided an opportunity to finally get the yard mowed. By the time I finished mowing the light winds had slowed to almost non-existent. Sensing a golden opportunity, I parked the mower, put out my wind flags and proceeded to...

    Tommy, I suggest you check with your local or a neighboring fire department to find out who they use for their tank hydrotesting. Also, check for any fire extinguisher sales/service businesses in your area as many of those provide hydrotesting services. Marvin

    30-Yard Challenge

    Ed, please remove my 4-12-25 (post 3081) from the 40 yd Masters Leaderboard. There are two issues, one the target was actually a Challenge card and secondly, I incorrectly showed the pellet to be 10.3 gr. when it should have shown 13.4 gr. Don't have an answer/excuse for that one. We...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Went outside about 3:30 this afternoon with the intention of mowing only to find that the wind had subsided for the first time in what seems like the last three weeks. My mind quickly dispatched the mowing idea and I put out two wind flags and a 30yd Masters target to see if I might improve on...

    30-Yard Challenge

    The weather finally improved sufficiently today to motivate me enough to put out my sixth card for 2025 along with a sight-in card which was placed at 25 meters. The temp. showed to be 71 degrees and the winds were supposedly at 7 mph with gusts to 13 ranging from 1-5 o'clock. After shooting...

    USFT USFT fill port problem... Where to order O-Rings?

    I believe the USFT side-fill assembly utilizes one #005 and one #011 o-ring for sealing.

    30-Yard Challenge

    I submit the attached target as my initial 30yd Masters Challenge entry for my .177 CZ-200S. The gun is unregulated, sub-12 ft./lb. shooting 8.4 gr. JSB's averaging 795 fps. Wind was L-R @ 1-3 mph. The scope is a Bushnell 8x32 @32X. I did sort the pellets as multiple damaged skirts were...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Ed, please replace my current 40yd Master Class entry with the attached one. Wind/breeze conditions were the best I have had the opportunity to take advantage of for quite some time. My first card (40yd Challenge) resulted in a 198-15x with a couple of unexplained fliers so, I dug into my...
