Mike N. - Q. Is there a BR Category where we can regularly post 'practice' cards? I didn't see any, so I created this one today.
Went to the local outdoor range today, weather almost perfect. Wind was variable 3-5 mph and often 1-2 mph. Didn't bring my flags today ( forgot ), but I did shoot two cards with the Safari .22 HP. I finally did chrono ( FX Radar) my JSB KO's at around 946 average FPS. For me, I think this is the optimum velocity at 50 yards ( not sure about 100 yards ) for shooting these NAT 50 cards. I did use the .22 cal scoring plugs for any close targets. Also used SST vs. new style DS magazine. I did miss some wind calls, but the KO's were also pretty forgiving, esp. without the flags. The flags definitely do help me and I just forgot to bring them.
RW, KO's
