    Effect of altitude and temperature on pellet speed

    Hey Dan, I can tell you for certain that your point of impact will change every time you change elevation. My TX200 is shooting at 10.7 fpe while at Ben Avery shooting range. Rio Salado is only a few hundred feet different, which is different even from where I live in Phoenix. All I do is...

    Time to combine Open and Hunter?

    In answer to your question, Cole, NO. In the beginning, it was just piston and pcp. PCP then became an equipment race, with the harness adapted and all the new guys were complaining they could not compete. So, hunter class was established so the guys with the everyday rifles could compete as...

    What were your first experiences handling a gun?

    1963 Camp Delmont Boy Scout summer camp. I was 12 years old and the first time I had any "formal" marksmanship instruction. .22 single shot rimfire rifles. After the "basics" of safety, aiming, safety, sight alignment, safety, trigger control, safety, that wonderful smell of Hoppes #9...

    Resources USA vs European Field Target

    Hey Bill, We tried that a few years ago, but called it unlimited/freestyle/whatever. Basically, hunter class but with clicking (elevation turret) allowed for all of us old guys. Brought it up the annual AAFTA meeting in 2017. It was tried for a year, I believe, but shot down. Similar in...

    Homemade Stock II

    Very nicely done! I appreciate your attention to detail and the fact that you designed it on paper first. woodworking was done very well, liked the choice of wood and grain, and the stippling came out nicely. Reminds me of years ago when I made a copy of the AI AW stock for my Marauder. I...

    Piston shooters

    That is a good point, and one that I can agree with. I started with a springer, switched over to PCP for quite a while, before integrating a springer back into my shooting "cycle". It is preferable to learn how to shoot with a PCP, but then fine tuning that technique when switching back to a...

    Piston shooters

    Wow, a lot of interesting replies/responses above..... OK, I shoot piston, namely open class piston. Yes, I like the challenge, and NO, I am not obsessive about it. It is just fun! I have two TX200's, both tuned to sub 12 fpe and it is a frickin' blast to shoot. I don't have to worry about...
