The Tipping Point

Hi,
I have the CF barrel tube so I can fill to 250bar. With that, at my current tune, I am getting around 90 shots before falling off the regulator. I have the reg set at 110 bar. This has been one of the areas I have spent a lot of time working on. The DRS is really intended for higher power than 20 fpe. I think the valve return spring could probably be a little stiffer to help close the valve quicker. The valve is almost exactly the same size as in the Crown, but the spring is different.

When I ordered the FORM stock (from the UK maker) having a UIT rail is on option. So are the cheek riser and the adjustable length of pull. I opted for this stock (two other style options) with the cheek riser and UIT rail, but not the LOP adjustment. I 3D printed a plug to get the LOP where I wanted it and to allow the PRS butt pad to work. The stock isn't cheap - more than the FX Grade 2 walnut option. But I like it better. Not as much as the GRS stock on my Crowns, but almost as nice.

The 30yd/40yd Challenge is a bench shooting challenge. There are guys using fancy benchrest front supports, but a lot of us just use a Bipod and a bag or monopod. Mike (from Thomas Airguns) has reported using a remote-control trigger on some of his cards. I have shot a few from my HFT position. I am going to ask Ed (EPG, the thread moderator) if we can add an HFT class. I think the rings on the targets are way to small for offhand.

Cheers,
Greg
I really enjoy BR especially when it’s too hot and too cold when I shoot from my heated and cooled shooters box.
I’ve always had a dream of creating a new game = combination of benchrest and field target See picture:
these hybrids (8 per lane) 10-15 lanes, would be placed, or set out at various distances just as you would a regular FT course but no strings…
The challenge is that a cold line would need to be called after each 5 minute round so cards could be retrieved and new ones placed. This amounts to more exercise 🤣
Cards would be scored just like regular bench rest - which is a little bit more time consuming. This particular model has a flip up paddle which blocks the target after it’s shot
