    Field Target is an arms race.

    Wayne, I see this idea being more productive as its own stand -alone match, versus a class/division happening at the same time/match as guys running their número uno rig. I could also see some use of this concept for a upstart club trying to get some membership built up, like the guy in Iowa...

    MAC1 USFT Analysis/Overview

    And let out the magic?!?!?!?? No way Jose. Lol. A friend's USFT recently developed a leak and I'm going to try to reseal it and also spend some time with a couple barrels he's been comparing. BUT, mine is staying as-is as long as it isn't leaking.

    Field Target is an arms race.

    The verb dwindle has a connotation of reduction, or petering out, or declining, at least to me. In that sense I agree that cost isnt a reason FT is dwindling. (On that note, is it dwindling?). From what I've seen in the local clubs where I attend, aging out is a bigger reason folks quit coming...

    MAC1 USFT Analysis/Overview

    Does anyone have the oring specs for a tubed USFT, in order to do a complete reseal? And since they're all hand-made and somewhat bespoke, have Oring sizes stayed consistent through the years?

    By your own admission.... This: Dose not equal this: In a similar way..... This: Does not equal this: And that's just in the most basic comparisons of the stocks. Start getting into metallurgy and machining and so on and so forth the vast chasm between the quality of of those two...

    Light direction and ranging accuracy

    Great for detecting breezes too. Only problem is that if it fits too tightly you end up in the next county if you catch a gust.

    Yes!!! You finally got it. THIS is why some airguns cost more than others.

    YOU feel this way, that doesn't mean that others agree. And that's why $3-4k + airguns sell. Some people struggle to understand that a perspective different than their own is even a possibility. But we're all individuals. You buy your expensive wine and enjoy it, and appreciate it. And guys...

    Black wolf prices

    I am a competitive shooter, mostly field target, and can absolutely attest to the fact that it's easier to win with a high quality ($$$$$$) gun than a low quality ($) one. The difference is a more predictable trigger. The difference is a higher quality finish on all the components, and I'm...

    Thomas Air Headspace tweaking, not the kind between your ears

    When you say head spacing, are you talking adjusting the seating depth?

    A good farm gun ?

    100% agree. Having spent my fair share of time in farm trucks and bumping around on ranch roads, you want something that'll hold its POI, and you want something that doesn't care about being dirty, dusty, and generally abused. You also mention enough oomph for occasional fox and coyote...

    Sounds like you have finer taste in wine than in airguns. I've shot (and own/owned) cheap airguns, and I've shot (and own/owned) very expensive ones...for those of us that can appreciate the difference, a difference does indeed exist. Much like your wine example.

    The inherent or even perceived monetary value of anything is exactly what someone is willing to pay for it. Not just in airguns, but generally, in modern consumerism based markets, we're often paying for the name. Usually that name is accompanied by higher quality, because the 'brand" wants to...

    A Lamborghini and a Prius gets you from point A to point B. The journey is a bit more enjoyable with one than the other.

    JSB .22/28.55 Grands

    These two were part of a 234, and that was the high over a couple days. I've shot 12-14 cards in the last couple days, all at 100 yards. The average of them is in the high 220s and mostly shot on windy days. Most of the 5 shot groups are scoring 43-46. Very good for .22 pellets, but...

    JSB .22/28.55 Grands

    I'm in the two weeks/year that I practice benchrest with any sort of sincerity or real intent... So here is the VERY cherry picked high of the day...two very good 100 yard groups, from the JSB Grands. Top one is likely a 49, depending on who's plugging...but I'll take 49s and 50s. From a BRK...

    What does the indents on the pellet tell you? Marauder accuracy issues and uneven pressure in barrel

    What the heck kind of rifling does this .20 have? Most .20 conversions are done with LWs, and they're 12 land and grooves. I've heard of guys using HW .20s but they're also 12 land and grooves. Yours is looking like maybe six? lands and grooves??? I'm very interested to know the source of the...

    Petition to Allow Laser Range Finders in Field Target Competitions

    Edit: my comments here are general field target, not necessarily WFTF specific. From @humbled.ag... "Why not set a proficiency rating threshold that requires you to give up the lrf? I think if you get to, and over a seventy percent knockdown rate for a season, you don't get to use a lrf next...
