I'm not following you. If the hundred yard events implemented 100 foot pound limit… It would solve a lot of issues going forward about people going crazy with power and pellet size.

I didn't think we were ever talking about anything other than air guns shooting pellets.

The completely vague rules are to blame. Those can be easily fixed if someone wants to fix them. A power cap of 100fpe would be good to keep things from getting out of hand further. Mike

The part that I believe is significant is that if this was run like all the other hundred yard matches ( 1 card) … Nikolay would not have won and nobody would be caring about what pellets he shot. I believe that fact should make people question things about what they think is important and...

Yes...bench rotation every card.

Two is a lot better than one....but 3 is about the minimum that should be done for any serious match. Most big BR tournaments, outside of this genre of air rifle, are 6 or 8 cards. Mike

Air tanks plus sells one for the above pictured reg. It works nice and I actually put a whole lot more in mine when traveling. Mike

He's asking about 40y to 55y.....Not 100y to 1000y. In terms of moa...shooter error won't magnify at longer distances. If you have a 1 moa wobble....it's 1 moa at any distance. Since he's talking about indoors....surely wind isn't a factor. Mike

You can extrapolate 40 to 55 just fine. I've done it at 25 then checked at 50 and it was very very close. Mike

I used to use the crosman one with a lanyard around my neck in ft. Worked pretty well.

Cole...maybe you could just make it a 50y slug 5x5 challenge. Lots more could participate. The goal should be 5 consecutive 5 shot groups on the same paper at 1 moa or below....not average of the 5 groups. In my opinion, of course. Mike

I think you're right.

Things changed very fast in that class from 2 years ago.

I had a similar experience coming home. My flight was late and my connection in Dallas took off before I could make it. Overnight in Dallas, then back in the airport at 4:30 am and arriving at home in Montrose around 6:00 pm. I was at least thankful that our gear made it there and back...
