Ive got one Dillon. I dropped the .20 Vet into it. A Short won't fit because the trigger rod isn't long enough. They're meant for Standard or Long Vets. Mines a bit funky cuz I stole the trigger and rod from a Standard and put a plenum on Short airtybe to get the air tube as long as the...

Thanks Martin. I really appreciate your willingness to organize this and put on the match. Lots of work. Ignore the complaints and twisted arm "suggestions" and run the match as you see fit, and as reality and the site and registration numbers allow. And please tell your wife thank you for...

Barrel barrel barrel. My barrel count is 40+ right now. A couple have been exceptional, some have been good, most have been ok, a few have been junk, so typical bell curve that applies to just about everything. The exceptional barrels are much less picky about what batch of pellets they're...

Depends a lot on what gun you're considering slugs out of.... Historically, and still largely true, airguns have barrels and power levels that are much more conducive to pellets. Again, depends on gun, as there ARE some now that have barrels that are better matches for slugs. If you're...

[ Shooting at the same time isn't possible, even for a big match. The American Field Target (as it is historically known, going back about 8 years) event at EBR for example......there is certainly something to those preferential time slots of first thing in the morning, before the wind picks...

Thanks Martin. Sounds like the format will be closer to a true benchrest competition than the big airgun product showcase matches. Ie the Williams match is working off aggregate score and not qualifying rounds to get a shooter into a "finals." Me being a statistics nerd, I like the aggregate...

I'm also super excited for this Williams match. If Martin can fit in a third round of 100 yard benchrest, I'd personally like to see the winner be the highest aggregate score of all 3 rounds. (ps, if the third round becomes a Sunday deal, I'll probably pull my registration and ask for a...

I DECLINE the invitation and the implied nomination. You're doing a great job Mark.

6 or so years ago I had a gun (standard Lothar barrel) that loved Crosman Premier pellets. Premiers are very similar in hardness to the JTS lead formula. Prior to the Premiers it did pretty good with JSB pellets. So I shot it for about two years, solely with the premiers. And in a similar...

Had another session with the stinker barrel....and it's still a stinker barrel. Was really hoping that not shooting as fast would eliminate that random flyer, but it remains, even when REALLY concentrating. Not very often, occasionally it'll even shoot ten in a row without a flyer, but...

Please let us know how the Zans shoot. I suspect the 25grain will be a little long for typical airgun barrel twist rates, but I'm still curious to see some real-world results.

I tried some slugs from my 1:32 RTI and it was no bueno, couldn't keep em on paper @ 100 yards. Seems like I tried some NSAs in the 20-28grain range, some Varmint Knockers from 22-28grains, and some of the 32.? Gr Altaros. None of those were joy. BUT, the 1:32 RTI barrel is the best barrel...

I've had some learning experiences with this stinker barrel in the last few days. I first installed it on my USFT to shoot it as-is, for a baseline. Easy peasy on a USFT, two Phillips screws to remove the wood block under the gun, then loosen the four breech bolts that go all the way through...

I've only needed to pull the valve from one BRK bottle and it was a bear! Quite tight, and maybe even some glue?

Just took them to a new longest yet range, lasered 296 yards. Strelok tells me 192 clicks, @ 1/10th mil each so 19.2 mils. And I'm using 10 mils of turret clicks and another 9.5ish of holdover so a whole lot of ish here. Strelok also says they should have about 15fpe still left at this...

I'm not any sort of club leadership but just wanting to share about this upcoming match. The guys that run these matches have been doing it for so long that it's just a given for them that these matches happen. They send out email reminders to those that have attended in the past. I'm simply...

The best safety is a de-cocked gun. I can't remember the last time I used a safety on any airgun I own.

Although I had a pretty decent little stash of magic beans ( .20/18.9) I couldn't resist the sale and put in another order. I just checked time stamps and I submitted my order @ 1:13 am on June 4, and had shipping confirmation with tracking number @ 8:34 am, also on June 4th. That's pretty...

Traded out the barrels to see how @SAZs barrel compares to mine. Measurement wise, the OD of his is about 0.005" bigger, and that required opening up the ID of a spare moderator adaptor a bit to work. Got it installed now though and took a few shots yesterday evening. I don't get this gun...
