    pellet velocity

    An interesting phenomenon can be seen when collecting downrange velocities, either through Labradar or a downrange chronograph.... Some of the more wasp-wasted, traditional shaped pellets will be going the same speed at 50, 60+ yards, whether they left the muzzle going 880 or 950. The...

    Field Target is an arms race.

    It 100% DOES add to the fun at field target events.

    pellet velocity

    I agree with all that's already been said and will add the following... Slow twist rate barrels generally seem to be okay with higher speeds and pellets. (920+ and even up to 980) Polygonal rifling also seems to be more tolerant of faster speeds. Some pellet designs are outliers to the...

    EFT GP / EBR Willams AZ July 11-13 - Registration Attached

    Me and the wife and kids enjoyed that Williams mountain coaster a few years ago. Super fun. It's one of those like ski resorts put in for summer income. Rails attached to the mountain-side and you sit in a little car attached to the rails. No loops or anything insane like an amusement park...

    Field Target is an arms race.

    I was surprised to see 4 Open class shooters at the local monthly match in June. Two of them I'd never met or seen before. But GENERALLY, yes, Open class has all but died at the clubs where I attend matches. Over the course of 6-8 years, it went from a solid 6-8 (and occasionally more) to one...

    Field Target is an arms race.

    The 18-19fpe guns are more than capable of greater than 55 yards. Those of us that camp and make a weekend of it shoot a silhouette match on Friday evenings of the Sat AM summer time field target matches. We use our sub 20fpe field target guns and ft positions (almost always stool and sticks)...

    Hold-Over or Dial? …Scope Turret Labels - DYI

    One of the reasons I really like FFP. Last year at the AZ State FT match I asked in the pre meeting for clarification on turning down the scope power for the offhand lane for Hunter class. Match director announced that it was fine to turn down the magnification for that lane. Now, Hunter being...

    Hold-Over or Dial? …Scope Turret Labels - DYI

    With a second focal plane scope, as long as you're dialing the turret the magnification doesn't matter. With a SFP scope, holdover WILL change with scope power though. With a first focal plane scope, holdover AND dialing the turret agree, and that's at any magnification the scope is capable of...

    Million Pellets

    I save all my empties. I've never tallied them collectively, just totals by gun. I'd estimate that I'm around half a million.

    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.
