Yeah. That one shot thing hurts. I got so used to it that I switched to my 2nd target after the first shot at the Extreme event. That cost me a point even though I hit it. LolYour going to LOVE the OREGON STATE FT match thenOne shot per target, seeing where missing hoping to pick up your second won't be happening !!!!
This is something that I seriously took into account when setting up the new Nevada courses... In effect the new courses are the opposite of this type of layout. I believe I have come up with the 'easiest' 36T course in the wind, well it could actually be easier but I would have to set all the targets exactly at 36T.You're going to LOVE the OREGON STATE FT match then
At least 13 years to go until my indentured servitude to my lord is done.Just retire ... slam dunk
Time to share my latest new to me trickI just learned to click in the last couple of months. Ohhh how sweet it is! Especially with an Mrad / .10 mil scope ! A 1 holdover is 10 clicks…. How easy is that
guns.
That's a lot.Time to share my latest new to me trick
I’m totally stoked about my new method for creating solid dope.
First I zero my gun at rhe middle point of pellets trajectory - say at 30 yards
then
I draw 2 thin horizontal lines .20 apart on a stiff stock paperboard And place the target at EXACTLY 10 yards
I aim at center point between the lines and shoot
I compare my point of impact to my point of aim and determine my aproximate holdover
But
I adjust my POI using clicks until all my shots fall perfectly between the two horizontal lines
I then adjust the ballistics APP scope height until the point of impact matches the clicks necessary to fall perfectly between the two lines.
next I shoot only using clicks at a variety of small 1/4” to 1/2” targets at known distances from 9 yards out to 60 yards
I also set out NR/ BR 50 cards taped to blocks of putty to evaluate if any odd trend or drift is occurring
this new Way of creating dope by validating with clicks is way more accurate than just visually using a holdover value.
I’ve redone dope on four different HFT rigs and it’s like they are different
No worries The Thomas got plenty of attention afterwards
All good..... but in the grand scheme of this thread, the idea is to create VERY accurate (gnats ass) dope that lets you know your equipment is spot on so that when you miss, you know YOU missed and not the equipment. At 68, I'm heading your way quickly. I don't care who wins or looses a match... i only care about besting myself, challenging myself, and having a good time with good people while i am doing it.
