    New Scope or Not (Hawke vs Athlon)

    Hit a local match and ask some shooters to let you take a look through their scopes, most will be glad to help. Your eyes will let you know where the value is, not the abundance of internet opinions. If you can't see it don't take someone's word for it, inspect. Bad news is when you look...

    Temecula Field Target Report 2025 04 27

    Big sky day in Temecula with seven shooters. Started with light drizzle for 15 minutes then cleared out for some fantastic views while shooting. Eleven lanes with 27 targets went smoothly. Temecula signature winds came in gusts and changing directions making the challenge even better. Big...

    Let's talk timers!

    Scott turned me on to it a couple years ago, lets you focus on shots, never have to look away for remaining time. Bonus is pulling a shot on 1 during the 10 second countdown, suspense.

    Field Target is an arms race.

    " HARRISON BERGERON by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. THE YEAR WAS 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren't only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker...

    Events Western States & AAFTA Grand Prix March 7th - 9th Temecula CA

    Really a great GP. LD's place is amazing with Juan, Wayne and Randy putting an awesome shoot! The wind made it even better. Mr. Knapp punishing some steel.

    Course Design- Setting a 36T in the Wind

    Average a bit higher than 36T to maintain the 100pt GP should targets be disqualified or subjected to other interpretations.

    Field Target is an arms race.

    A pair of obscenely expensive sclera lens softened the keratoconus for me. Corrected my vision to 20/15, bonus I don't have to blink anymore. Looking to offload a couple vertebrae so I can do the deadman shooting position like the cool kids do.

    El. Cheap-O night vision.

    I have taken over 100 rats using a similar setup. Switching illumination to 940nm made a big difference, rats could see the 850nm emitter and reflection with it's faint purple. 940nm is a very faint red at emitter only. Focusing beam is also very good. Solid saddle/tripod is a must as you cannot...
