Events Pyramid Air Cup???
- Thread starter Lmctex
- Start date
I went last year for the first time. Lots of very nice people from all over the country. Half the reason I go is to interact with like-minded people. Nothing special about the way the event was setup. I really was a new-be. It was my first event in HFT ever. I learned a whole lot! Since then I have been to 4 other events. Out of all the events I've gone to so far last year I would say that the vendor and tryout tables were not well suited for the type of (caliber/skill level/dedication) shooter they had participate. They highlighted cheep guns under say $350.00 when the average shooter brought a gun and scope combined worth at least $2,000.00 on average I would guess. It sounds like this coming event will be better. Either way I had fun and if it wasn't any better this year I'll still have fun. That's what it's all about for me anyway. This year we did rent a cabin on the grounds. That should be nice.

I went last year and it was my first time as well. The venue wasn't great. The sight in range was tiny as was the place designated to where you could try products. It was not PA's fault, but the limitations of the range. I'm sure they took that all into account when they choose the place it's going to be held at this year. See you there.

This will be my fourth year participating at the cup. Always a great time. I am excited to see what the new setup has in store for us. If you go plan on participating (FT is already filled I believe, but benchrest has some spots available still).

Nation,
I've been to all Pyramyd Air Cups, except for the first one, and I can say it's one of the better run events in the country.
As Chas said above, last year had a few speed bumps, as the Pyramyd crew did not have facilities available to them the years before, and the sight in range was crowded and barely adequate.
We have been assured that this years Pyramyd Cup will be bigger and better than the previous years, and I believe that. It's in a bigger, more suitable venue than before, with larger sight in space, and much better logistics.
I wouldn't miss it for the world!!

Well, I just bought three entries for the Benchrest competition. Myself, my wife and my father are going to give it a shot. No pun intended. My father and I used to compete in NRA Conventional Pistol (Bullseye Pistol), but have never done any formal rifle or airgun shooting. I just got my wife involved in airgunning simply for the purpose of spending more time together, so she's new to any shooting discipline. After an initial tune of her .30 cal Impact X, she was shooting the 1/2" red dot out of the target at 50 yards. Nothing more embarrassing than teaching your wife to shoot, then being outshot by her. At least there's some reward in trying to teach her trigger control, then watching her look through the scope and after the shot finally breaks, she just smiles. Don't get me wrong... not saying she's going to be anyone to worry about once she's on a 100 yard range and wind is thrown into the mix, but she's definitely not shooting like a typical newcomer to benchrest shooting. I'm looking forward to getting her around the high quality shooters that will be at this competition. She should improve immensely.
The other thing I'm incredibly impressed with is the venue. The Shooting Center looks incredible! I was amazed at the campground and other facilities on the grounds. We're staying in our 5th wheel, and they have very nice and spacious looking full hookup sites.
We're from Anderson, IN. Anyone else from the central IN area going? Don't know much about the PA Cup... how big is it? Any big names come in for it?

Chuck,
You will have a blast.
I'm only competing in the WFTF PCP Field Target competition, and Gunslinger in the Springer division.
If past years were an indication of attendance, there will be 100+ for the Field Target competition alone. I will not be competing in benchrest, I don't own a rig that can beat any of the professionals who are shooting larger calibers.
That being said, big names, most likely.
A very large number of Team USA members will be shooting the Cup.
I'm sure there will be some industry leaders in the benchrest portion as well.
Give Tyler and the Pyramyd Air crew a couple of weeks, they usually put out a list of all the competitors in all classes.
