    .30 slug testing Delta Wolf

    I'm finally getting slugs sorted out for my Delta Wolf. This is the .30 long barrel (27"?) and I've been shooting the Zan 56 gr pellets for a while with success. I decided to use this gun for NRL22 until I can get a better air gun for this application, so it's time to figure out slugs. I...

    PRS Rimfire vs NRL22

    Just some observations about the differences between NRL22 and PRS rimfire as it relates to air guns. I know we have some non-US people in this sub-forum, so know that this is very US-centric. Also, know that I am by no means an expert about anything, these are just things that I have observed...

    Gun comparison

    I'm so far down the PRS airgun rabbit hole that I can no longer see daylight. I decided to mock up the major airguns that are designed for PRS/NRL shooting so I could get a feel for the differences (see edit below). The main metric I'm looking at is the fore end depth, as well as the fore end...

    Ballistic solution question

    The Kestrel with Applied Ballistics is the go to tool for the rimfire shooters. AB uses G1 and G7 as far as I know. So for shooting slugs from an airgun out to 350 yards, is the Kestrel an appropriate tool for getting your ballistic solutions? I've been using Strelok for a while and I'm pretty...

    Y'all check my math

    So I've decided to commit to shooting an air gun for PRS and NRL-22 matches. My current laser gun (Delta Wolf .30) won't work because I would have to use pellets for PRS matches (out to 350 yards) and the only magazine option I can find bigger than 8 rounds is a Charlie mag. So I'm 85% sold on a...

    Report card for Delta Wolf shooting NRL22

    Today I shot the Feb. COF for NRL22 with my Delta Wolf shooting .30 Zan pellets, 56 gr at 860ish fps. The gun shot great accuracy-wise. I was nailing a 1 inch target at 100 yards when sighting in. Winds were tough and switchy at the match, but according to Strelok they would have been just as...

    ASC Feb. Match Report

    What a beautiful day for field target! Cool enough for jeans, warm enough for shorts, an occasional breeze to keep things honest. Just idyllic, and I'm not just saying that because Jeff wasn't there. Although he was micro-managing me all week, so it felt like he was there in spirit. We had 29...

    New idea for a crossover long range event

    So I've been dabbling in NRL22 lately and I have had another one of my dumb ideas. In NRL22, they have a monthly course of fire that all of the clubs shoot, and each club usually adds some extra stages as well. In each months course of fire, they include instructions for Adaptive Class for...

    Report card for first PRS rimfire match

    Not a full report card this time, more of a pass/fail. I'm happy to report that this was a fail. See, you learn from failure so I was going with the mindset of failing and learning. Mission accomplished. Here are some things I learned: Shooting while hanging from a cargo net is even harder than...

    Report card for first NRL22 match

    Long story short, I had a lot of fun and got my butt handed to me. I used a 10/22, not an airgun, but the results would have been the same whatever I shot. Match prep - A- I got to the match an hour early and I brought everything I need and was dressed appropriately for the weather. I watched...

    In other news, something funny from the NRL22 rules

    This has a field target tie-in, trust me. Here is a quote from the NRL22 rule book: "Adaptive division is an optional division that will be available to any competitor that has special needs/considerations severely limiting their ability to participate in the match as written. This division is...

    Daystate Delta Wolf .30 fine tuning

    I was prepping my Delta for a match and I felt like the 100 yard groups could be a little better, so I put on the lab coat and headed to the range. This gun was originally tuned by Derrick Wall and it has the 700mm barrel that Derrick sprinkled with his gnome dust. The hammer is at 3020 and the...

    ROT 2023 Results

    The Republic of Texas Championship and Grand Prix Jamboree got off to a bang today. We had 15 Hunter Pistol shooters on a mild and overcast day. We also had a few people that are shooting the rifle match this weekend come out and help. A big thanks to Kirk and James Darroch and Pablo for helping...

    Results ASC October Rifle and Pistol Match Report

    The sea was angry that day, my friends. Which is surprising, since the Arlington Sportsmans Club is over 300 miles inland. It started raining about 8pm Friday night and it was still raining at 7;30 when I got to the club to see if anyone was dumb enough to come shoot Field Target. Turns out, 8...

    Strelok on new phone

    Just a head's up, I have Strelok Pro on my Samsung S20+ phone from before the embargo. My phone crapped the bed yesterday and I received a replacement phone (same model). Using Smart Switch and backing up my Strelok data to Google Drive, I now have Strelok Pro running on my new phone. The...

    How people win at field target

    I've been doing some statistical analysis of the last 10 matches in our area and I've spotted some trends. This is mostly for PCP, we don't have enough different piston shooters to spot meaningful trends. For WFTF, everything under 40 yards should be automatic. Positional shots should be 75% or...

    Daystate Delta/Alpha Wolf PSA

    Do not move the trigger all the way back! I was adjusting the position of my trigger and I moved it to the end of the adjustment range towards the butt. The trigger apparently won't work in that position. Then I went to move the trigger forward and the tiny screw stripped out. It appears that...

    Bipods/Rests Looking for a Rowan Adjustable Hamster

    Preferably with the picatinny rail attachment but can probably work with the UIT rail attachment. If you have a Mac1 or SubMoa hamster, let me know as well. I would prefer the Rowan but I'm not too picky. Send me a PM if you have something for me.
