    Airgun accuracy is not just a recent phenomenon.

    This from a twenty year old FX design. Shot 13 and a half years ago as one of dozens less than an inch at 100 yd even back then with 15.9 gr JSB Exacts. Then take a look at these groups shot 6 years ago by Lampies Lamprecht (RSA) in 2013. 100 yards Lh 0.37 inches 5 shots and Rh 5 shots in...

    BSA Hornet (15 year old Bowkett design) onthe 50 metre rimfire range/targets.

    Shot last Sunday at my club in a 50 metre/55 yards rimfire benchrest practice day using sand bags front and rear, no machine rest. First my five shot sighter group : Then the 20 shot target. I chose not to adjust the sight but to hold off. Got caught with head and tail wind changes in...

    Taipan - original, made in Oz. The most deadly. But not a bullpup ...topical.

    Up to 3 m so not handy for carrying. Available in my country. Needs care in handling. ..... Harry.

    Antique airguns - how good might they have been -

    - with modern pellets and a scope! Seeing a recent post here somewhere featuring an old BSA prompted me to get out my own old 1919 vintage Light BSA and put up a target at 25 yards. Shot with .177 Predator Poly Metalmags, open sights and elderly eyes: I think the more powerful ones may...

    FX Crown showing off at 100 yards.

    Yesterday after a frost the air was calm for just long enough for this group at 100 yards. Then the wind drifted in to spoil the next but OK I GUESS. ? This is still its best to date. JSB King Heavies Mk1 33.9 gr. Skirts sized to .2515 and lubed with bike chain wax. The replacement barrel...

    Attention Rich7777 LabRadar and Bluetooth connection.

    My apology Rich. My LabRadar does have Bluetooth facility. It is indicated in the display window if Bluetooth connection is active. I had just never noticed. As mine was one of the very first released, then obviously they would all have it. Best regards, Harry.

    Ballistic coefficient change with range/velocity. The original study Feb 2010.

    http://bsaog.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=13228.msg98207#msg98207 Please help. Does this reference open for you to show my original report and data that has led to the subsequent use of variable and average bc input for long range pellet shooting. If it won't open, could you please search...

    LabRadar and Chrony F1 go head to head

    Posted here as I think it may be of general interest. What velocity correlation might we expect from these two chronographs when shot together and what general conclusions may be drawn? This morning: At a tape measured distance of 14 yards/42 ft muzzle to mid point between the Chrony sensors...

    Longer range shooting - thinking aloud and putting into practice.

    A few things to consider: The farther the range the better the drag coefficient (Cd) and ballistic coefficient (bc) need to be in order to sustain velocity and so the amount of energy required at point of impact (poi). The stronger the winds the better the Cd and bc should be to counter wind...

    Is there any better SM camera than the Casio I have used these past seven yrs?

    SM video of pellet flight from 5 to 50 yards. My Casio EX-FH 100 still takes SM videos but has stopped taking still pics and I am thinking of getting a new one. So, if you know of one that will take better (or as good) videos than the example above, please respond. Also please let me know if...

    FX Elite: 5 x 5 at 50 yd all under 1/2"ctc at average 0.39" outdoors.

    A friend shot these with my FX Elite on Saturday. He was tickled with what the 6 yr old ST barrel could do with .25 cal JSB Kings shot over a Caldwell bag. (This is the rifle with which I shot a rabbit at 228 lasered yards; and the first sub inch 100 yd group shot with JSB 25.4 gr Kings 0.60"...

    It left Sweden with the first batch in July, arrived in Australia in early September, cleared Customs two weeks ago, was dispatched from the importer Wed last week in good order and arrived by our third world postal courier service today. A phone call to Fredrik Axelsson had an instant response...

    FWB 300S spring gun. Designed 50 years ago. What a rifle!

    The 7.9 gr pellet gives perspective. Shot this today with iron sights and octogenarian eyes. Just the one group shot. All you youngsters should have one of these old rifles. This one made mid 70s has head shot rabbits to 50 yards; and starlings at 70 with pass-throughs. All the top scorers in...

    60 yd Benchmark group for .177 Polymag "Shorts" (JSB). Test posting method.

    60 yards 0.60" ctc from RAW TM1000 at an overthetop 970 fps. Pest shooters and hunters may find this of interest. The little "short" .177 Polymags can do very well in reasonably stable air. They should be deadly on those squrrels . They are my go-to 177 pellets for Indian Myna birds, a very...

    USA National Championships HV sub 20 fpe class. Top 5 shooter aggregate placings

    20 mph winds sorted the field's wind reading skills and the gear preparedness I suspect. Note Kim Zussman's first placing HV here and 4 th in the Open event reported further down this page. Kim is one of our frequent posters here. Cogratulations and well done Kim. Frank (Coldking here) did well...
