    Results Southwest Airgunners Silhouette and Field Target Match Reports, Duncan AZ April 2025

    Tom again opened his property up to allow a bunch of airgun nuts to have a heck of a weekend full of airguns. He is greatly appreciated for doing so and I think I'll start there with this match report. Tom was presented with a token of our appreciation for his generosity and hospitality. Here he...

    Results Match Report for Ultimate Field Target at PRGC March 2025

    @ We held a match yesterday, 03/22/2025. And it was a blast. As far as weather goes, we had highs in the mid 80s, FULL sun, and light little breezes that I can't imagine ever got much more than 5mph. The level of wind was pretty manageable. But the fact that it came from a bunch of different...

    Does it exist? Slash, SWFA SS second gen?

    Two semi-related questions in one.... Is the image quality/optical clarity any better with the second gen SWFA SS than it is with the first? Recently deescalated the scope situation on my Ghost (@cavedweller, Rudy, you were right). The Falcon X50 was just too big and heavy of a scope to put...

    Ballistic Coefficient: A Real World Example

    I’ve blabbered about this gun and these two projectiles enough so I’m not going to make them the focus… Last week I doped out 10-300 yards, comparing a pellet with a BC in the 0.046-0.049ish range, to a slug with a BC in the 0.09-0.1ish area. This was about a 6 hour project, spread over two...

    JSB .22/28.55 Grands

    My phone's been telling me that my storage is full for a few weeks and I've been slowly going through it, trying to clean up old images. In that process I found some images that reminded me that I never shared much about my experience with the Monster Grands last summer. With most event's...

    Slugs and choked barrels

    Some ponderings after cleaning a choked barrel that I shoot A LOT of slugs through... All the patches in the bottom right of the photo. Took four to get to clean. (.177 patch wadded around a qtip is just the right level of tightness for this .20 barrel). Gunzilla works great to clean the...

    Field Target is an arms race.

    Yep I said it, and not for the first time. Some sure seem to get heated up about that statement. Others are pragmatic enough to accept reality. When guys are running "bb guns" that cost north of $8-10k, there's not much of an argument against it being an arms race. When I say "arms race"...

    Big news for UFT @ PRGC! This month will be the first of Ben's new format. He has been working hard and added a third target to each lane, and restructured to allow a broader range of airguns to be competitive. It seems more complicated than it really is but I'll take a stab at making it...

    Ever wondered what it's like to shoot a field target match?

    I used a PARD electronic scope to shoot an Ultimate Field Target match last weekend. At the beginning of each lane I hit record so that I could stitch them together, the intent being to create a video to give folks an idea of what field target is like. While field target isn't much of spectator...

    We had 11 shooters come give it a try this month, 2 in slug, and 9 in pellet class. Slug winner Steve M: Pellet top three Van, Scott, and Ben: Wind was minimal, temps were NOT. Even at the peak of the wind I'd estimate 3-5mph. And we had every bit of that forecasted 95-96 degrees. Ben...

    N/A Slugs at night almost tracers?

    I've shot a bunch of pellets at night and occasionally can see glimpses of them, but shot a couple slugs tonight and thought it REALLY cool how visible they are, dang near tracers. Here's just a super short video of one connecting shot on my 90 yards paddles I took a few min ago. This wasn't a...
