The storms finally moved out of the area last night and today brought the first good shooting conditions we have had in weeks. Spent the first two hours trying to find which tin of pellets were the ones that shot extremely well in USFT #85 for me last year and am still looking. I did manage a...

The weather finally improved sufficiently to convince me to shoot some 40 yd. targets today. By the time I got my wind-flags set up and my targets out the wind started picking up but was constantly changing speed and direction varying anywhere between 7-12-3 o'clock. After shooting four...

Ed, please replace my previous 40yd Master Class submission with this one, Wind conditions were mild ranging from nearly calm to possibly 3 or 4 mph between 9 to 1 o'clock. Biggest issue was waiting for all three wind-flags to point in the same general direction before each shot.

Please replace my previous 40yd Masters Class submission with this one. Wind conditions were mild ranging from near calm to possibly 3 or 4 mph ranging between 9 - 1 o'clock. Biggest issue was waiting for all three wind-flags to point in the same general direction before each shot.

I submit the attached target to replace my existing entry in the 40yd Masters Class. Wind conditions were relatively mild mostly ranging from 2-5 mph but constantly changing direction between 7-11 o'clock. It's definitely time to adjust the placement of my wind flags to better read the for the...

Here is my initial entry for the 2024 30yd Masters Class. Returned home from a doctor appointment on the first sunny day we had experienced for several weeks with only enough daylight time remaining to complete one target. Conditions were excellent for me with a left to right variable calm...

I finally got my first opportunity to shoot this year so, I decided to also make it my first try at the 40 yard distance. Wind conditions were generally from near calm to 5 mph but, were constantly switching directions with very short seemingly calm periods between the changes. My strategy was...

I had decided to give the shooting a rest today, but after going out to retrieve the mail about 4:00 p.m. and seeing how light the air movement was, I couldn't resist testing my luck. Realizing that I was only going to have time to get in a couple of cards before low light would become a major...

Tom, if I read your previous post correctly, you are selecting a "hold" point for your future shots based upon your previous impact point and continue to use it until it fails to provide hoped for results. My apologies if isn't the case. I use the same procedures today as I did when I was...

Attached is my latest entry for the 30YD Masters class. Upgrading my scores is a proving to be a slow process, but my goal is to match my last year's score before the end of 2023. I really thought I had it with this card only to find my scoring plug was a tiny bit (like one or two thousandths)...

Please replace my previous card with the attached one for my Master Class entry. Wind conditions today were constantly changed in both direction and speeds up to 6 mph. Calm conditions were extremely short during my first four targets, but I caught a decent relatively calm period that lasted...

Attached is my initial submission for the 2023 30-Yard Masters Class. Wind conditions varied from calm to 6 mph but switching from anywhere between 9 and 3 o'clock. I was attempting to shoot only when the wind-flag tail ribbons fell straight down and it worked well until the 15th bull when a...

If the valve assembly shown in the photo is the one you are having issues with sealing, I strongly suggest you replace the o-ring with a 112 urethane one before you attempt any modifications to valve seat or poppet valve to see if that solves your problem. The one shown appears to be very...

Today proved to be one of those rare times where I actually had time available to shoot in warm temperatures and reasonable wind conditions. I elected to shoot one of my two closet queen Mac-1 USFT's since no one else has currently submitted any scores with one for the 30yd Challenge. The...

You have to remember that the target I scored was shot with a .177 pellet but scored with a .224" (.22 cal.) scoring plug as per the rules. Marvin
