That wind was a real beast! It changed velocity and direction constantly, and the gusts came unexpectedly. IF the shot being fired could be slowed down to slow motion, it would be really interesting to see its' flight.

I dunno about shoot a springer at nat's this year, Scott; the jury is still out on that decision. I have a lot of work to do before going that far.

can you elaborate on the 3rd picture down (not counting the group photo up top)
the photo where carl is seated, but has some kinda sling around his knees (figure of eight?)
what is that called?
what kinda front end support is hanging off the fore-end of the gun?
etc.
thx
looks pretty stable,
never seen that before

Carl is wearing a shooting harness. This is similar to the Steady Aim harnesses that are still available today. I still use the one that I bought 15 or so years ago. They work great to support your lower back when seated.
The knee riser is an accessory devise that can be purchased from Rapid Air Weapons. Carl has the foot angled forward for some reason or another. I usually just keep it parallel with the barrel and rest it on my knee. The camming devise keeps it locked into position, but can be adjusted wherever you would like it. With the harness to support my back and the knee riser (the British call that a "hamster") resting on my knee, I find it to be a very stable shooting position.
Hope this helps.

MAC1 Airguns supposedly sells the original Price Steady Rest. You may want to check with them for availability.
I do have a lead on someone who can make them, but it is individually and when they can fit it into their schedule. Send me an email at mkauffman1ATcoxDOTnet
