USFT unregulated shot string

It'll do more fpe, this just happens to be field target legal. I have a .22 barrel and had it doing about 28fpe at one point. All it took was some adjusting of the hammer spring and opening of the transfer port. 

Mine is technically a Hunter also, I just have the USFT accessories like the knee riser and the thigh support. In fact, I asked Tim to make my knee riser with a rectangular base instead of the round, cupped one he typically uses. 

You'll love your Hunter, easily my best airgun purchase. Some guns lose their charm after owning and shooting them for awhile, my MAC1 Hunter has not. 

Just shot this group with the same gun. #15 shots at 55 yards, sitting on a bum bag. Cold and shivering and caffeinated. Less than ideal conditions and had to hold off for wind quite a bit. Misreads on the wind got me on a few. Not an atypical group for this gun- I'm the accuracy limiting factor for sure. 



Also just pulled this off, matching my personal high score for this game.

Thanks Fuss. 

The shooting harness that is legal in Open class, in conjunction with a good knee riser and rifle adjusted to personal preference, can be dang near benchrest stable. 

Thanks John. 

Don't know how much it weighs, but it's heavy. And while that weight really helps make an accurate gun for the normal position shots, it makes offhand shots a challenge.

I'd guess it's 15 pounds all set-up, but that's just a guess as I've never weighed it. 

It's got a Falcon x50 scope mounted. If I remember right, that's 29 ounces (just a few ounces lighter than the Sightron siii 10-50 that's so popular in field target-i think those ounces are the lack of illuminated reticle in my x50). The scope came with a thick walled (HEAVY) sunshade that could double as a . I don't use the sunshade for the overall weight and because it feels like it tipped the balance of the rifle too far forward. 

I also figured out my offhand shots are much more accurate if I take off the knee riser for them. Knee riser itself is pretty heavy. 

Finally, the gun came from Tim with a screw-in little piece of aluminum, about diameter and maybe 5 inches long. It screws into the buttplate and goes under the armpit-a butthook of sorts. The only time I use it is for offhand shots. It allows a lot of the weight of the rifle to be taken up by leverage, under the armpit, and the fulcrum point being your forward hand under the gun. 

With all that, and a little bit of practice, I don't do too bad with the forced position shots. Just like anything though, practice makes perfect.
