    Air Force Talon

    Just put a Hawke 4X32 AO on a RAW HM1000 Looking to drop weight and replaced another heavier Hawke AO that worked great for several years (pesting here at the Rancho). I only shoot to 50yd and the 4X fixed mag works fine, focuses to 20', has mil dots for holdover, and only weighs 11oz or so...

    1st Unofficial National 50 Benchrest League Match & USARB - Open Grove 2-14-21

    Thanks Joe! Great shooting at 50 especially considering how hard it is at 25! I will return one day....as Napoleon said, or someone (the last president?). I've been shooting 10M air pistol. BR seems to be about 95% equipment (barrel X ammo) but pistol is 95% shooter. Spending time working...

    1st Unofficial National 50 Benchrest League Match & USARB - Open Grove 2-14-21

    Cool! Question: RF and AR are only competing head to head when the AR is shooting slugs and they are scored with the same 0.224" plug, right?

    More trouble for the formerly golden state

    Hi All Saw this and wanted to pass on shooters in California. The denizens of the North are trying to ban lead ammo AT SHOOTING RANGES in our Wonderful State (see below). Please consider contacting your state representatives before it is voted into law. Kim :mad: Friday, February 21, was...

    One flag distance?

    I shoot at 25 meters so 30 yard wouldn't be much help ;) Usually the best approach is to experiment. Try different positions and see what works best.

    One flag distance?

    Free tip but others must opine I've read convincing arguments that the most important flag (of a few, spaced evenly from bench to target) is the one near the bench. The reasoning is that the first deflecting wind has the biggest effect on downrange POI. That makes sense but my match...

    Analysis of Bench Position and Scores

    I've been shooting air rifle benchrest matches at the excellent Open Grove Oxnard range for almost 4 years now. There are 14 benches, and some shooters say that some of the benches are better (score higher) than others - based on where each position is in relation to buildings and trees that...

    Open class RAW BM500

    Don't forget Don't forget that many good HV setups will outshoot open class power guns (at least at 25M). So if everyone else is shooting HV you can shoot your HV in open class for a guaranteed win ;)

    Wild River Air Rifle - USARB report Indoor December 26 2018

    Thanks Dick That was a day to remember - and what I remember most is how stressful it was shooting in those conditions. I think I did what everyone does: wait for the couple of shootable conditions that recur. That day there were gusts that could send you to the next bull, but maybe 20% of...

    Wild River Air Rifle - USARB report Indoor December 26 2018

    I'm probably not alone in wishing Ron and Dick would you consider writing a tutorial on how to shoot that consistently well? Both outdoors and indoors. I'd understand if you'd rather not publish your techniques. If so it's ok to just send them to my PM :cool:
