    Scope Zero for BR

    People send me lots of pictures of BR cards and ask me what I think. First of all....there is very little I can tell by looking at a card with no knowledge of the exact wind conditions and how the shooter held for each one. It would be far better if the shooter aimed at the same place and...

    N50 in flippy wind

    I got a chance to shoot a card before dinner yesterday with my slug gun. The wind was far from ideal but there was nothing I could do about it. I saw maybe 5 mph every once in a great while....and gusts 15 plus about as often. My strategy in conditions like these is to avoid the gusts and...

    Mythbusting Precision BR

    I'm making this thread to address some of the misconceptions that inexperienced shooters have when they come to their first N50 or USARB type precision BR match ...or when they first get acquainted with an experienced and accomplished precision air BR shooter. Clubs can exist where all of the...

    N265

    Well, not exactly. Every once in a while I get curious about longer ranges. This is a 25 shot group at 50y and a 10 shot at 265y with same gun. My goal was to put 10 shots inside the center most number 13 box at 265… But didn't quite get there. My laser rangefinder was giving me yardages...

    25s at 100 in 30

    Trying the Aea 50gr at 100y out of a Thomas. Been asked for a long time to make a 30 caliber gun for 100y. The JSB 30s were never anything to shout about. These are really easy to keep near the middle. 25 shots each. Mike

    Pssst....hey, I just shot a 750. Haha

    Pssst...That's kind of the noise this makes with the suppressor. 91 fpe 22 cal slug gun. 750 47x You can see how much the poi went down when I added the suppressor in the bottom sighter on first card. The gun will shoot another 8-10x without it ...but for those that want to shoot in the...

    Ever seen one of these before?

    RMAC/PYA/NAC card 250 with a lot of xs. Thomas slug gun and new high bc slugs. Light wind topping out at no more than 5. This is the very first card I have shot at 100 (with these slugs). edit I shot a single 25 shot group yesterday in pretty heavy wind. The worst shot still broke the...

    Testing new 22 caliber slug design

    Yesterday, I began testing a new shape 22 caliber slug I made for my swage press. I've been shooting around 8-10k slugs per month for a very long time, and paying 20c each is not doable for me. Buying lead wire from Nielsen... I can swage slugs in between other processes in my shop at around...

    With the crazy wind here in spring...I spend mornings until maybe 11 testing what I need to test outside. This is the latest pellet/slug Thomas shooting 75 pellets on the top group and 100 slugs on the bottom group....no changes except scope clicks. Monsters at around 980 and my new .218...

    Shot a little this morning in pretty nice conditions. Never held more than around 2" either side. New .875" barrel HPX using the FX redesigns from the tin. Was playing with the tuner looking for best vertical. 25 shot groups. The last group would be an easy 249 on the RMAC 100y...
