We will never host another Field Target match here that adheres to the rules you guys applied, since I bought these acres BECAUSE of the challenging terrain and winds. I have never liked the earlier AAFTA rules much for my matches (of around 20 events I hosted, only a couple were AAFTA rules)...

An absolutely beautiful rifle! Ive owned a number of hw55’s, and seen dozrns at shows and all, but have never heard of, let alone seen a lefty model! Its so kool a friend would get one for someone else! And more kool I’m the guy that. got it! Thanks Matt! LD

Im planning to hold a small airgun Swapmeet at my place beginnning Mar. 6 in the afternoon and ending Mar. 7 around 1:pm. Let me know if you are coming. I have a handful of tables, but bring a small folding one if you can. $10 entry. Camping available, but let me know early, as spaces are...

I have said many times forf many years we should roll unlimited into the open class. I think hunter is doing fine already, though another mag bump to 24X would be nice. LD

I got this compressor about four years ago, and really like it, as its quiet, shuts automatically, and doesnt get tanks so hot from filling fast that pressure drops a lot after filling. But, the water pump failed at about thirty hours, and again recently at about 250 hours. I upgraded this...

I didnt use a usft, i used a vulcan3

Wow, About time we had a class that might dovetail top scores with the actual target difficulty. Maybe now the luck of fickle winds can be compensated with airgun ammo capable of more consistent ten ring hits. I have yet to see 740+ scores in these events, even with the oversized plugs used...

Biggest issue I‘ve observed with long range .177 target shooting is being able to see the hits well past around 75yds or so. LD

I think the unregulated Revere is a very decent shooting gun, with or without a reg. I also suspect an un-regulated one can be easily fitted with a Huma reg should you desire to try with and without. I own the very similar Daystate regal, and it would be fully consistant enough in shot cout...

Shooting with both eyes open helps to locate the target more easily and quickly, and helps identify wind shifts via your wind indicator as well as moving grass and bushes. I also rely on offside eye to check my spirit level while aiming.

Bobby, The original barrel in your USFT was tested as I posted above. It was tested for group precision, but many folks call it an accuracy test so I normally go with that. Now bearing in mind great WIND resistance is of pellets is mostly a function of pellet design and barrel compatibility...

Bobby, Ive heard your opinion about your original USFT barrel many times, but this is the first ive seen you say it was “far from being selected”! Well, back in the day when the first of my guns were made, I came up with a barrel selection method that involved shooting a number of...

To those that knew her, esp as having met her at the yearly Field Target events held in the past here at our ranch in Temecula, I will be holding a Memorial for her on November 4, 2023 here at our property. I can be contacted by email at: [email protected] or text at (951) 375-6962...

John, I think indexing does have a place in achieving better accuracy, and may also help in achieving proper scope/barrel alignment. After getting the barrel straight (o.d.) , and using a well centered scope, I shoot my first group with a mark near the muzzle at 12:00, then rotated 90 degrees...

Over its history, Its likely the USFT has won more AAFTA Nationals than most other models, if you look at PCP guns, though I suspect TX200 and HW77/97 springers have won more Nationals and may6be Worlds events in their own class.

Looks good Wayne, Though I don’t own a competitive gun for such extreme ranges, Im hoping to get lucky and hit at least a couple in the first three lanes, though Im pretty sure the fifth is beyond the reach of my unregulated old USFT (basically the same gun I used to win the very first EBR in...

Mine that resemble yours cost around $16.00 to build, but I cheaped out and didnt use glue

Tim made more than one gun with identical serial numbers if they were different model. He serialized the barrel mounting blocks rather than the receiver, so swapping from angled blocks to upright hunter typically meant a different number series (not that much attempt was made to produce the...

Not so Scott, material selection is definitely the purview of the designer and engineer. Surprised you don’t realize that. LD
