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...

Sounds like you have finer taste in wine than in airguns. I've shot (and own/owned) cheap airguns, and I've shot (and own/owned) very expensive ones...for those of us that can appreciate the difference, a difference does indeed exist. Much like your wine example.

The inherent or even perceived monetary value of anything is exactly what someone is willing to pay for it. Not just in airguns, but generally, in modern consumerism based markets, we're often paying for the name. Usually that name is accompanied by higher quality, because the 'brand" wants to...

A Lamborghini and a Prius gets you from point A to point B. The journey is a bit more enjoyable with one than the other.

These two were part of a 234, and that was the high over a couple days. I've shot 12-14 cards in the last couple days, all at 100 yards. The average of them is in the high 220s and mostly shot on windy days. Most of the 5 shot groups are scoring 43-46. Very good for .22 pellets, but...

I'm in the two weeks/year that I practice benchrest with any sort of sincerity or real intent... So here is the VERY cherry picked high of the day...two very good 100 yard groups, from the JSB Grands. Top one is likely a 49, depending on who's plugging...but I'll take 49s and 50s. From a BRK...

What the heck kind of rifling does this .20 have? Most .20 conversions are done with LWs, and they're 12 land and grooves. I've heard of guys using HW .20s but they're also 12 land and grooves. Yours is looking like maybe six? lands and grooves??? I'm very interested to know the source of the...

Edit: my comments here are general field target, not necessarily WFTF specific. From @humbled.ag... "Why not set a proficiency rating threshold that requires you to give up the lrf? I think if you get to, and over a seventy percent knockdown rate for a season, you don't get to use a lrf next...

This weekend I had my third match with it in Hunter class and as a .20.... But first, the silhouette from field target position on Friday evening before the field target match. 40 shots, 1/10th scale silhouettes out to 70 yards. out of the 6 guys we had shooting that match, the USFT was overall...

Sounds like you're talking about Extreme FT results from 2023 EBR maybe? RMAC doesn't have an Extreme Field Target division.

I'm not sure what's going on here....yay for you? We all had various suggestions on our personal experiences with shooting USFTs. Hope your day gets better.

Not me Sir. I didn't attend.

https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/mac1-usft-analysis-overview.1044226/ Last couple pages has my most recent adventures with it. Although I need to update it with the results from this past weekend....shot a 45/48 for second place (and second overall highest score of the match, all classes)...

I dislike shooting paper, but my field target practice happens on paper. And almost always with a full sheet of 3/8" circles with a dot in the middle so I can see small changes in the impact point. I'm a huge proponent of shooting from your actual ft position. I agree with Mike that knowing...

I'm not surprised by your 13% improvement. It's likely multifactorial....the most obvious, and germane to this topic, is the equipment. But you've also been doing this longer now, so practice and experience. And the placebo effect of feeling you've now got the ultimate gun/scope combination is...
