In preparation for the AZ State match this weekend I forced myself to start a little abbreviated offhand practice regimen not quite two weeks ago. Typical for most of us, I don't love offhand shots, and don't often practice them. So I went into this somewhat curious if semi-regular offhand...

Barrel came out of a Veteran Long purchased new around 2020. Probably a LW but the typical 12 lands and grooves Taipan barrel. 21.75" long. Shot very well with .22/18.13 but pretty poorly with .22/25.4 Monster RDs. About a year I ago I revisited the barrel, opening up the excessively...

This is a one-off 24" .177 barrel that fits a first gen Taipan Veteran. Lothar Walther, 1:17.7 with polygonal rifling. Slightly choked. LW blank has been sleeved up to 15mm with carbon fiber and epoxied on brass end pieces. Muzzle end has 1/2x20 threads and breech end has standard Taipan...

First off, this isn't pitchforks. Nor is it demands to the BOG. Nor do I want it to become a BOG bash. Let's see if we can discuss this in a civil manner. :rolleyes: While nothing compared to many that have been doing it for multiple decades, I've been involved in ft since the 12x Hunter class...

Went to the gun room the other day and had the feeling of being overwhelmed, so trying to downsize a bit. This one represents some duplication so here we go. Black .20 Airforce Condor with the tophat with swappable transfer ports ("Ring Loc") and bottle with air gauge and quick-change bottle...

Spent about 2hrs busting prairie dogs yesterday evening. I tried to edit out most of the gore and dirt dancing. Interesting to see that in nearly all the shots the slug goes right through them. Sometimes it changes direction and sometimes it continues on the same trajectory (bones)...

I've been playing with a Condor since late July, just couldnt resist their 4th of July sale. https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/air-force-condor-review-a-case-report-in-how-utilitarian-can-be-a-positive.1316178/page-2 Late yesterday evening I decided to put the PARD on it to see how it would...

Had about 30 minutes while my son was at soccer practice. One of my "permissions" is about a mile from the soccer field so I took the .20 Veteran Short with me. Forgot the rangefinder so had to walk some shots in. Working backwards from holdover, most were in the 100-125 yard range, but the...

Hadn't been to these fields since last summer but touched base with the landowner and he told me to please come kill as many as I could. Leaned on this fence for maybe 10-12 of them. With all the grass, this area is kinda tough. All in all, spent about 2 hours and popped 35. Used the...

To add on to this..... https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/nsa-20-18-9grain-slug-results.1292724/ And as I commented that I'd test here....https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/hollowpoint-skiving-serration-on-slugs.1316203/ Credit to @Motorhead as I saw him do it first and shared about it...

I bought an Air Force Condor on their 4th of July sale, paying $395 for a 24inch barreled .20. Yes, in 2024 I bought an Airforce Condor, a gun that has mostly been unchanged since 2004 when it was first produced. And yes, that makes it a 20 year old design, and yet somehow it offers some...

Looking for one of these...

Had a few hrs this morning to collect some data on the JSB .22/20.83, aka the “JSB Jumbo Exact Light.” I’m thinking that I’ll just refer to them as “Lights” b/c I can’t think of any other JSB that uses that nomenclature (off the top of my head). Ballistic Coefficient Test bed is this BRK...

I was recently (very generously) gifted a bunch of targets, mostly steel. I got em all laid out to spray paint this morning and then the wind came up, a lot! So the painting is on hold but I'm super excited to get them spread out in the back pasture But also in the milk crate was one of...

I'm not any sort of club leadership but just wanting to share about this upcoming match. The guys that run these matches have been doing it for so long that it's just a given for them that these matches happen. They send out email reminders to those that have attended in the past. I'm simply...

Phoenix Rod and Gun Club and Ben Spencer hosted a UFT night match on 05/25. A total of ten shooters attended, 3 rimfire, 1 slug, and 6 pellet. Photos were provided by Scott, Dan, Ben, and Wes (thanks guys!) While these guys took some really great photos, it's really hard to capture just how...

I was recently quoted in an oldd conversation about slugs and thought it better to start a new topic rather than continue over there. The newest flavor of slugs, the kind that look like rimfire bullets, ala Altaros and the type Mike Nische has been recently sharing results from, are not the...

Ben Spencer and Phoenix Rod and Gun Club are hosting an Ultimate Field Target night match on May 25th. These UFT matches are one of very few places in the country that a field target match can be done at night, and also one of very few where slugs can be shot. Come try it out! Shooters...

As the completion of this announcement, https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/southwest-airgunners-march-and-april-2024-upcoming-matches-duncan-az.1307502/ Rex and gang hosted another awesome airgun weekend at Tom's beautiful river bottom property in Duncan Arizona this past weekend. The property...

I was cleaning up my gunroom and came across the notes from the little mock ft match me and my boys had on a Saturday in late January a couple months ago. Just at my house so no cool destination. And we've only got a handful of the Air Venturi Rat on the Run targets, so that's what we used. We...
