I am looking into buying a FX .22 smooth twist barrel. Anybody tried one of these for bench rest accuracy yet?

Thought you guys would want to know that we scored all 72 odd 25 meter targets with the scanner and James Mitchell's program. Scanning took about an hour and the scoring was done in about 5 minutes if all is taken into account. I heard no grumbling from competitors so I have to assume that the...

25 Meters indoor with unlimited rifles sounds like a good solution. Seems 25 meter indoor ranges is more assessable. Also keep in mind that the European Championships in 2013 is a good reason to extend the visit and do a 100 m indoor match in The Netherlands before or after the Championships...

Cris, We will be glad to shoot against Team USA. Please let us know when you have a venue. I will ask Paul van Gass to draw up a proposal for the rules and submit to you. Gert

Here is a link to the range in The Netherlands. It looks superb to say the least. One of their competitors shot a 15 mm ctc 5 shot group!!!! Gert http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8YhBP-vZq8

Here are the results. We won!!!! Albert who organized the event was kind enough to measure our 5 shot groups as well. Gert

Here is something to share with the forum. We are shooting a postal match against the big guns from The Netherlands this weekend. Two teams of 5 shooters. Lots of Rapids on our side, not sure of the guns on their side. Unlimited in caliber and fpe, tethered allowed. The opposition will probably...

Wayne, Listed below are our National Body's rules for the Open Classes. The intention was to create more shooting opportunity for us. They may not mean anything in terms of the official WRABF classes but the reasoning was that while you are at the range you may as well do some extra shooting. In...

Wayne, I will explain our open Classes in a separate thread. Gert

Casey, The WRABF will have to decide. We discussed the color issue at Summerville. We shot an open championship recently with the new targets and nobody had any problems seeing the rings. On the RF 50 m target we are going to have everything dark blue except the borders which will be red. I...

Example 1 of the scored Image

I will get some screen prints that show how the program looks at the targets. The A3 flat bed scanners are extremely expensive - Canon, Epson and the like - We are using a Brother LC1100HY A3 mixer, shredder liquidizer which does everything and costs about $300. As I have said previously it...

Casey, Thanks for asking. I was starting to think that it's only in South Africa that competitors are at times very unhappy with the scorekeepers. We took about sixty targets, shot for three classes, and scanned them to compare with the manual process. The computer program did an excellent job...

We are busy with a project to try and have the targets electronically scored. For this purpose we had these colored targets printed. Attached are some targets (reduced quality) that we shot recently. The actual scanned target is about 15 megs big and takes about 40 seconds to scan and 2 seconds...

So what do we call this? ….. A smoking gun!!!!

Jens, People from all over the world are already on the forum. All you have to do is register. The AR fraternity in South Africa is very active in using this forum to swop ideas and to promote the different facets. There is also an excellent Technical Section with lots of members we are keen to...

Many of us have been practicing at the indoor range. Must say that it's not easy to make a pellet travel 100 meters and make it go where you want. Typical 10 groupings that we see are in the region of 20mm to 35 and even 60 mm. It is different though to shoot for 2 hours and then pick your best...

Bill, Thanks for you inputs in clearing up some of these questions. If countries wants to canvas for adding/omitting classes in 4 years time one cannot start doing that 3 months before a Worlds Championships. As I am new to this sport and probably other members as well we have very little...

Another item in the rules "Any air regulator can be used as long as it is integral within the air cylinder" that had me worried at a time. Surely this will make a lot of rifles not eligible? Not many rifles got their regs inside the cylinder? Sorry if this hijacks your thread Dave but seeing...
