    Events Hatsan Cup, Turkey - video.

    Here is Alparslan Şen's video of Hatsan Cup shot last weekend. I think the speeds will be better next year but we had very little time to practice from when the rules were announced. At least that is my excuse. Targets were at 25/50/75metres (28/55/83 yards) and their sizes were 3/5/7cm...

    Events Hatsan Cup - Speed Silhouette

    We have just had our first EBR/Speed Silhouette competition here in Turkey. Hatsan just completed building the range a few days before the comp. Course of fire was 5 targets at 25/50/75 Metres (28/56/83 yards). Target sizes 3/5/7 cm (1.2/2/2.75"). Starting with loaded mags, max 14 pellets per...

    Events What was shot at 100yd bench rest at EBR

    Yes the flavor of the month is .30 BUT the winner for the past 2 years has been .22 LW barrels shooting Jumbo Redesigned running at 970-1005fps.

    Hatsan Nova Star

    Thanks for the info Butch. I have a big comp in about 3:weeks so will have a play after that. This gives me a good starting point. Because of where I live and who I know I got Hatsan to put a LW barrel on my Nova Star so results might be a little different. In Turkey, Hatsan are the importers...

    scope advice

    I went with the Athlon Argos 6-24x50FFP. If you are going out to 150 might be worth considering adjustable mounts. My choice was the Eaglevision Infinity ones but of course there are also the FX No Limit ones.

    Hatsan Nova Star

    Butch, what speed are you running the JSB 25's. I am running the 18's at about 915fps and that seems to give best performance. Unfortunately 25g not sold here in Turkey but I managed to get a couple of tins from Holland to try out so info will reduce my set up time. Thanks

    My Airguns Of Arizona Adventure Trip

    Very nice video. Good to see the inside of AoA just wish we had something similar in Turkey. I've had some contacts with the guys there and have always found them helpful and very quick to respond.

    SWFA Airgun Scope !

    Like your reticle but would prefer hollow diamond for centre so no chance of obscuring small target when FFP set to maximum power. If centre only could be illuminated, even better for low light conditions.

    Events Thanks to all at the Pyramyd Air Cup

    I wish that we had a similar competition here in Turkey but competitive shooting has only recently started. Last year majority of competitions were limited to Turkish made airguns but this year have got most open to all manufacturers so slowly improving. Maybe in 3-5 years we might have...

    Speed Silo at EBR? How to enforce the rules?

    It would also have the additional advantage that spectators would be able to follow what was happening more easily. As Centercut says it might also cause other shooters to consider different calibers depending on what aspects they think will give them an advantage. It would also potentially...

    Speed Silo at EBR? How to enforce the rules?

    Centercut's idea seems any easy fix. If targets or sighting area was hi-vis this would also level the field as one of the few advantages of .30 over .22 is that it is easier to see where it hits and therefore adjust for the wind. This has nothing to do with how good the shooter is or how...

    Speed Silo at EBR? How to enforce the rules?

    Automobile racing has probably the most stringent rules of any sport to try and level the playing field so that the smaller companies/teams can compete. In formula one they must use an engine of a certain size, amount of petrol and oil is limited, and there are strict controls as to...

    JSB QC blunder

    How can you prove they are JSB???????? Tin looks right, label looks right, QC label on back looks right, remaining pellets look like other JSB 18.13 pellets and are similar weight.

    JSB QC blunder

    That was probably my post, these were purchased by a friend here in Turkey. Also posted on this forum in Dealer and Manufacturers Feedback. I did send details to JSB over the weekend but have got no response from them.

    Which gun for EBR 75/100 Main Event?

    Only from what I have read, not experience, the biggest problem at EBR is the wind so solely on that basis would suggest going with the Cricket. But another consideration is can you clearly see your hits at 100 yards with your rifle/scope combination on the paper targets they use??

    Speed Silo at EBR? How to enforce the rules?

    Will the pump action that Matt used at Pyramyd be allowed at EBR??? FX make very good guns BUT it annoys me that they always try to gain extra advantage by looking for any advantage in the rules. Last year they changed the rules so that only factory mags could be used to stop people using the...

    JSB Quality Control

    No, I am not saying JSB would let it through intentionally but no QC Dept. is perfect and to say it is is naive. There always have been lemons going on sale which have been returned as soon as sold be they guns or cars for example. Misprinted money and stamps which are subject to rigorous QC...

    JSB Quality Control

    We have had fakes in Turkey in the past and I have notified JSB at the time. They were quite good copies but errors in packaging and lead a darker colour. As fakes these would not fool anyone for a millisecond. I am no expert but these look like a manufacturing fault. QC is not infallible but...
