    Temecula Field Target Report 2025 04 27

    Thanks for posting the nice pictures of our little practice match Thane. We are shooting again today, and having a barbecue once the shooting is over!

    Thank You- TEMECULA CHALLENGE

    We will never host another Field Target match here that adheres to the rules you guys applied, since I bought these acres BECAUSE of the challenging terrain and winds. I have never liked the earlier AAFTA rules much for my matches (of around 20 events I hosted, only a couple were AAFTA rules)...

    Time to combine Open and Hunter?

    I have said many times forf many years we should roll unlimited into the open class. I think hunter is doing fine already, though another mag bump to 24X would be nice. LD

    Supercharger water pump replaced

    I got this compressor about four years ago, and really like it, as its quiet, shuts automatically, and doesnt get tanks so hot from filling fast that pressure drops a lot after filling. But, the water pump failed at about thirty hours, and again recently at about 250 hours. I upgraded this...

    Events AOA Extreme Field Target GP & Air Gun Oregon Extreme BR and Big Bore Challenge- Ashland Or May 2-5th UPDATED

    Wow, About time we had a class that might dovetail top scores with the actual target difficulty. Maybe now the luck of fickle winds can be compensated with airgun ammo capable of more consistent ten ring hits. I have yet to see 740+ scores in these events, even with the oversized plugs used...

    .177 at 100 yards that much of a disadvantage over .22,25, .30?

    Biggest issue I‘ve observed with long range .177 target shooting is being able to see the hits well past around 75yds or so. LD

    Regulated vs Un-Regulated

    I think the unregulated Revere is a very decent shooting gun, with or without a reg. I also suspect an un-regulated one can be easily fitted with a Huma reg should you desire to try with and without. I own the very similar Daystate regal, and it would be fully consistant enough in shot cout...

    shooting both eyes open ?

    Shooting with both eyes open helps to locate the target more easily and quickly, and helps identify wind shifts via your wind indicator as well as moving grass and bushes. I also rely on offside eye to check my spirit level while aiming.

    MAC1 USFT Analysis/Overview

    Bobby, The original barrel in your USFT was tested as I posted above. It was tested for group precision, but many folks call it an accuracy test so I normally go with that. Now bearing in mind great WIND resistance is of pellets is mostly a function of pellet design and barrel compatibility...
