Cool, that should be interesting. With the same gun you shot the high scores with and RD Monsters?

What is the reason 100y air rifle is so popular?

I know my Farley won’t cover a 25m card horizontally but will at 100yds, that’s why I would like a SEB, but probably can’t afford one even if I sell mine? But I solved the horizontal issue with a crude but effective rear rest to move the rear bag in Lateral adjustments with out touching the rear bag, which I feel is essential for 25m for my shooting style! Maybe I should give my prototype to Mike and he can machine one up right! like he has nothing better to do
I’ll call it Chapy’s bag slider!

my SEB will more then cover a std card at 50yds plus some
it is also a factor of the spacing from front rest to rear rest
just shorten the spacing and you will be able to cover the whole target no problem

Ya, I tried With my Farley but With the style of stock on the BM I don’t think I can close the gap enough? I’ll try again, and I really, really want a SEB neo, used one last yr. for one match and fell in love! I just need a Thomas Br and a SEB, then a good divorce lawyer ha,ha!

i don't understand ?
the BM stock was originally designed for 25mtr (which they are no longer calling it BM)
do you have something different?
and a setup for 25 is almost dbl at 50 and more so the farther out you go
50 is the max i have here

The height is the problem on the EBR cards at 75. They are about 4 foot tall....so you would need to cover 16” in height at 25y.
nomojo....I have enough irons in the fire right now... lol
Mike...I shot the slug card with one gun, and the pellet card with another. I would just put one of those into my FT stock. Maybe tomorrow....I’m way too tired, and it’s way too windy.

the std BR target is 17" wide and i have seen some people hang it length wise
and 17" at 25yds = 52" at 75yds
am i missing something ?

It’s the BM with the 3” for-end, and shortening the distance between for-end and rear buttstock definitely helps with scanning whole card but I still must slide the rear bag slightly to cover sighter to sighter? But I actually solved the problem with my garage engineered rear bag slider
it’s a work in progress...

I don’t know Dick... simply relaying what I was told. If you can get 17 at 25...then it’s clearly not a problem.

Just looked .....The SEB website says the NEO has about 43 moa of vertical....which is about 43 inches at 100, and 34 at 75.

I think the popularity of 100yd Br is the YouTube exposure of the “big name“ shooters pushed by the Manufacturers to sell products they produce or are associated with and When you see million dollar homes rented out every yr. by Said manufacturers it’s appealing and people want to emulate these shooters “what wins on Sunday sells on Monday” and the manufacturers know this! I think there will be a resurgence in 25m, it’s getting more exposure as well, Much more difficult than most believe, more local matches and you don't have to rely on two or three big events a year to Compete, anyone can purchase sanctioned Usarb targets and hold local “For fun” Br matches in your backyard if you wish, not much difference than local “for fun” FT matches! Sparks more competitive tendencies if you know what I mean..

I also meant to add in above post That COVID has put a real damper on all disciplines, but feel it’s hurt the long range shooters the most? They only have 3 long range events a year and all are centered around dealer/manufacturers Promotion, with no parent sanctioning organization or common rules? I feel the “True” 100yd competitor’s Would do themselves a favor by setting up a sanctioning body, and not rely on three or so events a yr.! Maybe the USARB should open a division for 100yd Br? that way these “True“ competitors Won’t be driven by “YouTube cameos“ or $10,000 Prizes! Granted I lean toward short range 25m-50yd sanctioned events so I admit my bias for this type of competition! Strever R.A.W. doesn’t make the BM model anymore? haven’t been to the website for awhile obviously? Another reason to buy a Thomas

Just FYI, you can cover the entire target, from corner to corner at 100 yards with a NOTA. No problem.

For information purposes...my pulse was 60-62 and I could hold the crosshair inside the 10 ring as long as I wanted. The only movement is a slight pulse bounce that I’m used to dealing with. The gun shot about 4 clicks lower than it did off the bench. It took me 10 minutes or so to get things rezeroed. I varied my hold about an inch depending on how the wind looked on the tails.
Im sure someone will cry bullpoop, but that’s OK. I have shot in the 740s outdoors from sitting FT position many times at 25m. I can shoot 750s indoors from sitting position at 25y. Holding still is not a problem for me.

Mike, I've see your indoor results sitting in FT position. You are a shooting machine. Awesome shooting at the 100 mark! Dang, you can shoot better seated in FT discipline than I can from the bench! LOL

Super nice! Looks like you get locked in there very steady. I believe it since it’s pretty much the same as prone with a bag or bipod. In any case, great shooting. Didn’t you want to post this in the EBR Target Challenge?

Its not better than anything else...so I didn’t see the point. I can post it, though.

Fuss,
Stole the words right out of my mouth! I can’t even cross my legs and sit down like Mike does in this picture, and this is even with no gun in my arms.
Too many knee operations have limited my mobility over the years.
Nice shooting Mike.
