    Altaros MOA Booster Periscopic device for Airgun ELR shooting 500-1500 yards

    …or, possibly, infringes on a USA patent. Just a guess at a possible explanation.

    12fpe equipment check at Worlds.

    True, but as far as I know, the weight and velocity readings were good for all three days. So would have had the same issue, regardless of type/brand of chronograph. I like some of the newer radar chronographs, but not sure if they would be a better option in this case (shooting through the...

    12fpe equipment check at Worlds.

    The yearly WFTF World match can be tricky for any beginner without WFTF format experience. Best to get a good handle on the rules. Shooting WFTF Division at some local or regional AAFTA matches can help someone familiarize. If unreliable scale or chronograph readings were the cause of a DQ...

    How many AGN members make their own slugs

    I was already setup to cast 9mm bullets. I later started casting quite a bit for my higher power airguns. .22 (1) MP mold .25 (1) MP mold .257 (2) Arsenal molds .284 (1) Arsenal, (1) Noe mold .308 (2) Arsenal, (1) Noe mold The .257, .284 (7mm), and .308 are quite accurate at long distance.

    Hatsan blitz

    Some projectiles don’t cycle as well as others. I’d test with some heavier and lighter pellets to see if it makes a difference.

    Red Panda Update from Karma Airguns

    Probably cheaper to pay the engineer to come up with another design which does not infringe, and which might even end up better. Spend more $$$ on research/development instead of legal.

    Time to combine Open and Hunter?

    At our monthly matches, we’d rather have someone show up using a range finder, rather than not participate.

    Let's talk radar chronographs

    The Labradar takes more time to setup, so if all you want is an easy way to get muzzle velocity, it’s overkill.

    Other Bintac MCAR (Multi Caliber Air Rifle) 1000 yd MOA Long Range .457 (Video Review)

    True. Still, there are a few 7mm good molds available that are specifically designed for airguns, and in .338 there’s at least a couple of suitable molds.

    Other Bintac MCAR (Multi Caliber Air Rifle) 1000 yd MOA Long Range .457 (Video Review)

    I heard rumors that BIntac might be coming out with a 7mm and a .338 caliber. But not for the MCAR. It would be a totally different design.

    Let's talk radar chronographs

    The Labradar provides the most data for <$1000. Velocity at different distances is the valuable data that a radar chronograph can give you. The other “info” is just some after the fact calculations. The BC values can come from your phone or computer using a number of different, free BC...

    Time to combine Open and Hunter?

    For small local matches, it doesn’t really matter. We usually only have 5 to 10 shooters at our monthly matches. We don’t run them strictly as AAFTA matches. We keep score and announce them at the end of the match. Nobody really cares which division/class you shot in. Shoot any safe way you...

    Fun with Lab Radar Data - Initial findings on variability of BC as shot

    The GA BC values out to just 30yds check out at 0.034, 0.034, 0.034, 0.033. 0.033 That’s fairly consistent.

    12fpe equipment check at Worlds.

    Three tries, that’s good. If you tune for exactly 12fpe, you’ll still have an 88% chance of passing. If your airgun has a 3fps standard deviation and you tune for 11.9fpe, you’ll have a 99.5% chance of passing. If you tune for 11.8fpe with 3fps SD, you’ll have a 99.998% chance of passing.

    12fpe equipment check at Worlds.

    No 2% allowance at the WFTF match. The day before competition, you can take as many shots over the chronograph as needed to adjust below 12fpe. On the competition days, your velocity will checked during the match. No adjustment allowed. If your 1st shot is under 12fpe, you passed. Otherwise...
