Yeppers. So far in closing in on year trap shooting I've been lucky I guess in that I haven't ran across anybody truly awful. I'm mostly shooting ATA trap, but also shoot Olympic trap and Helice. Those last two will humble you quick, lol. Living in AZ there are a lot of opportunities to shoot...


Currently using a TriStar TT-15 DTA. Plan to get a Beretta DT-11 X-Trap combo in the spring, takes time to save up for that one, makes airguns look cheap, lol.

Hi All Since I've been absent for some time now I thought I would post an update for those wondering. I'm slowing down on air gun shooting and focusing on trap shooting primarily now. Several things have left a bad taste in my mouth with airgun shooting of late that I do not experience in trap...

I'm selling my Thomas BR 0.177cal air rifle. Why? Because I'm slowing down my involvement with air gun shooting and want to go to a single gun "that can do it all". Obviously a dedicated benchrest design doesn't fit that. The rifle is less than one year old and has about 5000 rounds through it...


Big bore was Thursday, broken into two runs. The main event is (2) 75y qualifiers, first was yesterday afternoon, second today starting at 9am. Finals at 100y tomorrow, top (10) from each relay advance. Two relays of "sportsman" class and two of "pro" class. Finals combine sportsman and pro...


Ken and Allan are running 17cal, I think Kevin is too.

Unofficial -- results aren't final I don't think till Sunday Ken Hicks (RAW) -- 248/11 250/13 248/10 ... 746/34 Kevin Hilgers (Thomas? old mans memory at work) -- 247/6 249/14 246/13 ... 742/33 Alan Suratt (RAW) -- 247/8 246/9 249/8 ... 742/25 Nothing yet on the ERB main, should have...

Scores for first relay in. As expected I scored low with a 715. I could dispute a couple bulls but I'm over 20 points down. The second relay is running and the wind has all but died to a calm. Look at those flags. Unheard of here!!

I just finished the first relay of the 25m. I dropped my pellets and it showed! I'm betting I didn't break 730. The wind is mellow. Pretty lite with the typical patterns. All in all I except to see some impressive scores for the 25m. Guessing it's going to take 746 or better to win it today 


Thanks much!

Despite the forecast for "breezy" what a wonderfully lite wind today. I feel sorry for the people complaining about the wind today, it was about as good as it gets here today! Reports that is was "dead calm, never seen it like this" at 7am from shooters that regularly shoot this range. 25m...

Did you see any of the redesigned 13gr 17cal?

Well it's been windier here in the last couple of days than it has been most of the year. The forecast is for things to settle down starting tomorrow. Temps a bit lower over the weekend, high 80's low 90s for highs. Hopefully we get those wonderful calm fall days the valley of the sun is capable...


You are saying your gun is capable of shooting 1" groups at 100y... A 1/2" group at 50y is shooting at 1 MOA, and 1 MOA at 100y is 1". Your problem is not the gun, its everything else. Most likely the wind, and using those light weight pellets isn't going to help. If you were to test indoors...


Don't worry the Rio Salado small bore range is never boring for an airgunner ;) Good looking targets too :)


Bingo! http://www.phoenixairgun.net/rio-airflow-characteristics

You might look for a set a rings that you can use the base off of.

Top five spots will have RAW, FX and Thomas in it. I will also predict that top five will have 30cal, 25cal and 22cal in it. Unless we have unusually calm sessions we will not see any perfect 250's scored at 75 or 100. You will need to shoot in the mid 240's to advance to the finals and you will...


Keep in mind that JSB has redesigned their 25cal, 22cal, and now the 17cal, don't be surprised to see the 30cal get the same treatment, which will likely result in some wonderful BC numbers. Wouldn't be surprised to see a polygon 30cal barrel sooner or later too.

Ten day forecast is call for highs in the low/mid 90's with lows in the mid 60's. The range is outside the heat island so expect it to be cooler in the mornings. Remember to stay hydrated it'll be dry here. Should be lots of water around. The wind has been fairly calm of late, hopefully more of...
