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...

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)...

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...

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...

Golf of the shooting sports. In all the ways (including $$$).

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.

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...

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.

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...

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...

It's just wine... 😬

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...

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...

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

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...
