    Field Target Pistol

    Unless I'm mistaken, I think Paul used a Marauder that he converted to a pistol. He's not super active on here but he might chime in in a week or two.

    Resources A word question - ?

    Oh, this is an easy one. All words are made up. Actually I've heard campaign used this way in other shooting sports that originated in the UK, so I assume it's your run of the mill Anglo colonial-military knobbidness. We should ask David Slade, he put the "bidness" in "Anglo knobbidness".

    I think Ken might have something to say about the Piston Rifle Championship, but Randy and Mark did great with the crutches. I wonder if Mark would have done better or worse if he hadn't broken his sticks after his last shot Saturday.

    Here are some photos that sum up the shoot from my perspective (a bunch of folks standing around talking smack). There might have been some shooting as well, I wasn't really paying attention.

    I should have taken a picture of Jeff climbing up there to get that target. Spoiler alert - he's alive.

    Events 2025 Republic of Texas April 25-27

    Now that I have the scores entered, I can tell you that the lowest percentage non-positional targets today were the longer targets (Lane 1, far on lane 3, near on lane 15). Due to the swirly and gusty winds, that checks out. The kneeling lane was a struggle today, which is odd because it was...

    Just a quick note as I am entering today's scores in airgunshoot.com . Thanks for the kind words, we really appreciate everyone that came out and shot. Especially the out of state shooters, I know what a time commitment it is to travel to a GP in a different time zone. Our goal was to have a...

    Air Shootist's 2024 NRL22 Season - Write-up & Discussion

    Very smart rule change, that will open it up to a lot of different air rifles. Just to help people with the math, that means you can shoot a 40 grain projectile at 1112 fps. And more importantly, if you have a lower powered rifle, this will allow you to shoot a lighter weight slug or pellet at...

    Let's talk timers!

    The battery cover on the Sper one likes to auto-eject. I recommend putting some tape on it before use.

    Who's turn is it to go to Clifton for a quick "wellness" check?

    What do you use as a stage timer.

    Exactly. I just have to keep my phone on, and if my wife senses that I'm having fun for more than 90 seconds, she'll shoot me a text to pick up something from the store or do yard work.

    What do you use as a stage timer.

    That's awesome. I started to write an app for Garmin watches that would count down and give prompts at 60 seconds, 30 seconds and 10 seconds. But then my give-a-crap meter ran out and I put the project on hold. Maybe I'll go back to it this winter when I'm less busy.

    Air Venturi Avenge X Fill Nipple Issue

    Something is definitely broken. The check valve screw is super loose in the cap, I don't see how it would possibly seal. So I need a check valve, possibly a fill probe and maybe an end cap. I sat on hold with Air Venturi for 10 minutes while I found the parts on PA, so I just hung up and...

    Air Venturi Avenge X Fill Nipple Issue

    Yeah, this is what it was doing so I replaced o-ring 129. One door opens and another closes (or something like that)

    Air Venturi Avenge X Fill Nipple Issue

    So in my never ending quest to get my Avenge X to stop leaking, I just replaced the o-ring on the fill nipple (part 127). While doing so, the check valve (part 125 in the image, referred to as the Non-Return Valve Screw) fell out of the end cap. I dropped the check valve back into the cap and...

    What do you use as a stage timer.

    I use a Sper Talking Timer. $30 on Amazon, I use it for practice and matches. I use to attach it to the scope with velcro but I have since made a bracket so it sits near my parallax knob. Some guys attach it to their hat, but I like to have it on the gun so it's easier to start when the stage...

    Air Shootist's 2024 NRL22 Season - Write-up & Discussion

    I feel for you. At our match today, I couldn't decide between shorts or long pants. I opted for long pants, which was fine but it got up to almost 70 degrees at the end of the match, so I could have gone either way.

    WFTF Rules: butt hook and legal shooting position?

    I think intention is the key here. It is not legal to adjust your butt pad to allow it to rest on your knee or thigh. It is perfectly legal to bring your knee up to support the rifle. If it wasn't, we wouldn't have adjustable hamsters hanging off the front of our rifles.
