    Skout Sniper Slug - Official Release

    10 to 50 milliseconds is a long dwell time. Maybe by a factor of 10. I’ve got a Skout but have not investigated exactly how it’s valve actuates, so maybe there is a delay during the process, requiring a relatively long dwell time. Normally, the projectile in a PCP is long gone after 10 milliseconds.

    FX True Ballistic Chronograph - Testing & Results

    Ballisticboy, Right on. It’s overkill if I just want a convenient way to get muzzle velocity, but I like my Labradar a lot. At the range, it gives multiple distance velocity readings, which is nice, but most of the work happens later. At home, I transfer the Labradar SD card to my computer and...

    Scope rings - lapping or tape it

    Before the rings are lapped, they are mounted securely on the rifle in their intended position. Subsequent lapping compensates for any misalignment in the system, not just the scope rings. If you mount those rings on a different rifle, they should be lapped again after moving them.

    Mike Smith, in memory of....

    Good memories of Mike from that 2019 match. He had his own sense of humor. I looked forward to seeing him when I went to AZ matches. I’ll miss him. Scott Hull

    Euro HFT Here in the US?

    Our club was hosting AAFTA sanctioned Hunter only matches starting back in 2013. The AAFTA rules had this: “…If shooting a Hunter only course, terrain features (trees, stumps, fence, etc.) may be used for support.” We had lanes setup for competitors to do just that. For those that wanted to...

    FX How vital is extreme spread ??

    There could be other mitigating variables, but you should expect that 20fps spread (for 870-890, BC = .037) to give vertical dispersions of about: 0.1” at 55 yards 1” at 110 yards 6” at 220 yards

    .25 heavy slug twist

    TJ already sells a 1:14 twist 25 Auto liner that should work good with 60gr+ slugs.

    Slugs now allowed in 100 yard BR at Air Gun Oregon match May 2nd-5th

    I don’t want to take that away. A reason you gave for not wanting to limit sighters was that it would be difficult to police. My comment was that I did not see any difficulty in enforcing it either way. I personally don’t care much which way it’s done.

    Slugs now allowed in 100 yard BR at Air Gun Oregon match May 2nd-5th

    Not that I’m agreeing that it’s needed, but I don’t see why it would be hard to police. Currently, 25 shot limit on the scoring field and no limit on the sighters. The proposal is for a 25+5 shot limit for the entire sheet. Any more than that in either case and the competitor incurs a penalty.

    N/A How to easily add an air bottle on any air gun with a male Foster fitting

    That’s my .257 ELR slug gun (160fpe). I also have a 7mm version (240fpe, the longer one sporting a 2L bottle). They were used to win RMAC in 2022 (.257) and 2023 (7mm). Currently working on a .308 version that does not use Armada parts. They all use a bottle slung underneath.

    New World Record Longest Airgun Hit

    “The rules for world records have already agreed here….” Well, they were discussed here at least. I had done a little more research and discovered that there are already a couple of organizations that recognize ELR world records...
