    Field Target is an arms race.

    You forgot the most important one: I'm old, I can now afford it, I want nice toys :)

    laser cutting ? (moved from target challenges )

    I translate the image out to a dxf file and then bring into Solidworks where I can manipulate it as required before sending it for laser cutting

    laser cutting ? (moved from target challenges )

    It should be able to. You just need the cad file to feed the laser. The posts on each target look like they'll bend easy when hit. Or is this made from wood and meant to break?

    Math is Important - just a long rant

    Precision and graduations are 2 different animals. The precision in a scope is how true it is to the reticle. The graduation of the reticle determines how small an increment you can aim at. My Delta Stryker has a reticle with 0.2MIL graduations. Scopes have a whole range of reticles, both MIL...

    I got scammed by GraphicMan Innovations on his "Pocket Press"

    It's as important to see the bad reviews of a product as it is the good reviews. While it sucks for him, being an early customer, at least he has hopefully spared a number of other people a similar pain. Being an early adapter quite often means you are taking a chance as there is no "real time"...

    New Discovery LPVO with side focus

    I got the scope mounted tonight but not sighted in yet. As it is FFP the reticle is super fine at 1X but the illumination takes care of that as it acts as a red dot. I'm sighting in the rifle for 19 yards so I'll see what 8X is like then. The rifle is an AA S510 .22 sub-500 fps (haven't run it...

    New Discovery LPVO with side focus

    I got mine last week. A set of rings came with it but the scope just slides in them. I've ordered a set of Westhunter off Amazon and they came in today. I haven't tried to mount it yet. I was trying to keep straight dovetail mounts without any adapter so my options were limited with the 34mm...

    Cheap DIY industrial-strength shaft collars for know-your-limits racks that use EMT

    On my kyl targets I put a steel washer on either side of the paddle and a piece of poly hose between the washers. The poly hose fits tight enough on my EMT cross bar and keeps the paddles/washers in place while the steel washers on either side let the paddles swing freely. The poly hose can take...

    air guns and Delta striker 5x56

    Some of the UK guys have them on their 12 fpe guns. I have one on my Red Wolf and love it. The Mrad reticle has 0.2 mil graduation hash marks

    New Discovery LPVO with side focus

    He had the price reduced a bit for labour day and he gave me that price. I've purchased from him before and like dealing with him as he's got a good reputation up here. He also supports our Field Target Nationals with prizes.

    New Discovery LPVO with side focus

    I've got one of these coming from Wes at Airgunarcheryfun.ca It shipped today so I'll see it next week. I've picked up a low power AA S510 I want to use it on.

    Sightron S6 field target

    Instead of opening up the class rules to make the different classes "even" wouldn't it be better to just eliminate the "Over all" high score award and just award the individual class high scores. People can now shoot the class they can afford/enjoy. You can now tighten up the Hunter rules to...

    New EFT target design

    Different companies make them but Hornady seems to have the most cost effective unit I've found. https://store.hornady.com/hit-target-impact-indicator-4
