    Petition to Allow Laser Range Finders in Field Target Competitions

    From a seasoned shooters perspective. I don’t think me knowing the distance with a laser rangefinder would help me. I got the range finding part down. Wind nerves and judgment are why I miss.

    Petition to Allow Laser Range Finders in Field Target Competitions

    I am starting a field target club and air gun club from scratch. No one knows anything about the sport of field target and airguns past a couple ratters. So for me I want to not only get people excited about airguns but join a club practice and join in competition. That’s a lot to ask of a...

    What springer did you shoot today?

    This weeks project is a Browning Leverage in.177. It was my first Field Target rifle. Purchased in 2009 for about $150.00 I began to shoot it everyday. There is an airgun company in Burt Iowa Called Flying Dragon airguns. http://flyingdragonairrifles.org/blog/ The owner Mike Melick is a world...

    Motorhead tuned Diana 48 or new TX200 carbine

    I have both and am very impressed with my Diana 48. It is a really solid platform once you bring in down from 1100 fps to 800-900 . The T-6 trigger is really really good. But the TX is just better in every way. I just spent two weeks shooting both.

    Petition to Allow Laser Range Finders in Field Target Competitions

    Just my two cents. I am against any rangefinder other than your scope. Figuring out the range is a big part of the game.

    Field Target is an arms race.

    No seriously this gum is stupid. It even hits the target when I misfire. It would be boring if it did not give me such a kick shooting it.

    Field Target is an arms race.

    My HFT-500 is a magic combo that can clear the corse. I decided to go back to my springers for the challenge. I spent two weeks with my Diana 48 and it cleared one lane twice after tweeting and getting used to it. It is a solid HFT rig now. Then my TX 200 I spent all weekend shooting with a new...

    Field Target is an arms race.

    I race motorcycles. I always say the harder you work at home. The better your luck at the track.

    N/A Do PCP rifles normally leak a bit over time?

    Never thought about that

    N/A Do PCP rifles normally leak a bit over time?

    If I fill my HFT-500 past 2500 like to 3000 psi. It will leak down to 2500 over night and then hold that pressure for weeks. I think it is just the regulator O ring and the surface inside the air tube could be better. Reg is set to 1200 so it’s not a problem.

    Events Some thoughts for match directors or clubs trying to Grow Field Target

    I understood, and think it would be a fun class. I am also adding bench rest. I want to get into extreme field target. I am even planning a Red Ryder challenge at Christmas. My over all goal is to bring airgun awareness to Iowa. I think if I just keep at it and be consistent.

    Events Some thoughts for match directors or clubs trying to Grow Field Target

    I would love to add an open sight class. But for now I am just trying to get anyone to shoot anything. I am amazed at the progress I have made and very grateful to the WLGC for helping me. The only open sight story I know of is when I was preparing for the Maryland state championship. I read...

    What springer did you shoot today?

    I went out to the range with me TX200 today. This rifle was set up for WFTF open piston Field Target and shoots really well at about 12 ft lb. But it had a 10-40x56 scope and a hamster plus the big side wheel. The gun shoots really well but was bulky and I could not see the loading port at all...

    I am trying to recreate that atmosphere.

    Coma wheel direction

    Thanks I have a couple nice guns and need to get a really good scope for my HFT-500. Then everything else kinda gets an upgrade.

    Coma wheel direction

    You are correct. I picked the wrong one. I am looking for a FFP 10-25 x56 with a magnetic side wheel and illumination. I have an Aztec Emerald 5.5-25 with a JD custom wheel. But it does not have illumination. And I have another gun that needs a scope. This is the one I was thinking about...

    Coma wheel direction

    I am looking the Athlon https://www.pyramydair.com/product/athlon-optics-5-25x56-midas-tac-hd-aplr4-ffp-moa-34mm-tube?a=15272 I like the coma wheel but not all of them. The main thing I need is the magnetic attachment.

    Nickel, Dime, Dollars 😂

    I come from land speed racing. This is a very inexpensive hobby. I do however spend all my money on airguns. The rest goes to waste.

    What did you do airgun related today.

    This is a glamor shot. I got this gun is 2009 to shoot Field Target. I was using a Browning Leverage shooting open piston. I sold everything I had to get this gun. I then practiced every day till I went to the US Nationals in 2015. Now I am remodeling it to shoot Hunter class at my field target...

    What did you do airgun related today.

    Today I was left unsupervised. So I polished and heat blued the front stock screws on my TX200 mk3. They were shiny silver with all the original blue worn off long ago. They came out looking pretty good. Only took two tries.
