    Skout Skout EVO bag rider for Skeletonized shoulder stock

    UPDATE: I had bought a Saber Tac benchrest monopod last year for the PA cup and wanted to see if I could adapt it to work on my EVO w/ skeletonized butt stock that is narrower at the bottom than the top. Here’s the result: STac uses M5 socket head cap screws that recess into the stock mounted...

    Why some prefer high power .22 over .30 vice versa

    Jim, You are right that BC varies greatly from pellet to pellet, but that comes down to individual pellet design. Given the same weight, a short fat (larger Dia.) pellet will have a lower BC than a smaller dia, longer pellet. A tight waisted pellet = lower BC than a broad waisted pellet. You...

    That looks nice - and hand made, even better. Electrons were my area of engineering expertise. 30 yr field service eng but not a fabricator.....Yet. Thanks for the link.

    Why some prefer high power .22 over .30 vice versa

    To be clear, a bigger caliber projectile will have to be much heavier to achieve the same BC as the smaller caliber. So the larger caliber does NOT make it a better BC. Larger caliber = more power AND more air consumption = fewer shots per fill. (and MUCH louder) The advantages of the...

    Field Target is an arms race.

    To quote Townsend Whelan: "Only accurate rifles are interesting". It is true for me unless I am plinking at pop cans at 20 yards with my Gamo Nitro piston. This is a key FT requirement that is being ignored in this thread. The fact of the matter is that you will not score well at all with a...

    Hunter Field Target "Shooting Sticks"

    I stumbled into a bipod technique that works well for me. I shoot a PCP with a bottle and use a bottle clamp as a back stop for my trigger stick bipod - feet extend forward of the stop. I adjust the tripod height to put the aim point below the KZ. Inhale, exhale and slowly lean forward by...

    Springer shooters are always welcome. We have a few that switch between springer and PCP. If there is enough interest, we will definitely do it. We are looking at getting interest in a pistol match also - maybe shoot immediately after rifle match - or during - 3 targets per lane, 1 pistol, 1...

    We couldn't have asked for better fall weather, except for the gale force winds peaking at 5-6 Mph. On the course in the trees - barely a whisper!
