I get what you are asking. The answer is that you can use your personal chrono while shooting a lane (otherwise Delta Wolfs and Alpha Wolfs would be illegal), but all of the shots have to be at the targets. In other words, the shots over the chrono will count. You can shoot over your chrono at a...

Jim's used to shooting 12 rounds in 2 minutes. I don't think a minute per shot is going to blow his skirt up very high.

Yes. Great for PRS, struggles to range find past 40 yards at 16x.

Sorry, I was trying to make a point about the differences between FFP and SFP. I should have known that if I didn't look up all of the different Athlon models, I would be corrected. Thanks for always being on top of my posts. And for the record, the scope I looked through was a Heras 15-50x...

If it ranges well at 15x, I would take it over a scope that ranges poorly at 16x. The only reason people use 16x over 15x is because they are trying to do anything they can to get the scope to range better. I've only looked through one Ares and I think it was FFP. The reticle was very fine, I...

I've shot a DW in open, wftf and hunter as well as EFT. I don't love it for Hunter, but that's mostly because I don't love Hunter, more of a scope issue than a gun issue. For WFTF and Open, I have a UIT rail attached to the extended Arca rail with a Sub Moa hamster and a Sub Moa butt pad/hook. I...

Good post. We have been talking about "growth" for as long as I've been shooting field target. While we have seen a slight increase in shooters at our matches in the last 10 years, I don't think it's from a real effort to grow. For us (at ASC), I think the key is consistency. If people know that...

Quick correction: Apparently Thom's score didn't get entered in the stats website. He shot a very tasty 54. Not sure who won the coin flip tie breaker between Thom and Brian. The standard rule is no shoot-offs when there are tacos waiting.

This is going to be an unpopular opinion, but the reason why it's hard to retain young shooters and kids is because it's a fairly boring sport. The things that make it a good sport for old guys also make it boring for young guys. Before you warm up the flame thrower, think about what you were...

I would be curious to see how things would look if we got rid of classes and just had a 20 fpe limit. Or maybe two classes, 12 fpe and 20 fpe. Then the springers and WFTF people could shoot in the 12 fpe class and everyone else could shoot in the 20 fpe class. Maybe the next time Jeff goes out...

There is already field target designed for guns over 20 fpe. But the people buying the .22 Avengers as their first airgun aren't flocking to EFT events. Almost everyone that shoots EFT is coming from regular FT, not the other way around. I think the way to encourage new shooters is for clubs to...

The only other thing we could do other than change to gong or spinner targets is this: complain less. I just got done helping set up for our match tomorrow and I lost exactly 1.5 pounds in sweat. And I'll happily do it again next month, and the month after. The only times that I wanted to just...

I met Lanny back when I was shooting sporting clays, very nice guy. Oddly, I got more out of the audio versions of his books than the paper versions but both are good. Another book that I got a lot out of back when I worried about my mental game was "Zen and the art of poker". It's mostly about...

I don't think he's trying to practice shooting actual crows, he practicing for field target. Match directors aren't going to put an artificial sheen on a crow target after they went through the trouble of putting the target in a dark place. I've had issues range finding dark targets in a dark...

I believe it's 3 minutes per lane, not per target. So it should be 75 minutes to shoot 25 lanes if I'm doing the math correctly. Don't worry, if I'm wrong there will be someone along to correct me within the next 10 minutes.

I think Ron is talking about "Mrs" in his past, not "misses".

I would disagree with this because it's Nationals. I don't feel like there is a need to cater to new or inexperienced shooters at our national championship. I don't care for the one shot per target thing because I think all of the GPs and Nationals should follow the same format. Having said...

Elevation changes, big trees with lots of shade and target tunnels, the ability to set up targets in multiple directions to give wind variety, good drainage, a nice and wide sight-in area. Enough space for two full courses so you can host big GP matches. Bayou Airgun Club is a pretty good...

Our May Precision Rimfire match at ASC was a blazing success. Due to the continuing efforts by Bryan L to improve our targets, we were able to set up the entire match without having to change targets between stages. This also allowed us to have two squads, so the match went smoother and faster...

Mine says the same thing, but when I punch in my actual drop at 100 yards I tell it to recalculate the BC based on the measured drop and it gives me .174. I'm not saying that the slugs have a BC of .174, I'm saying that Strelok thinks they have a BC of .174 to make the holdovers line up in the...
