Bobby McKee came out blazing, only 3 points short of a perfect score on his first target, and had the best results for all three targets to win the match in Heavy Varmint. Greg Cobb, Mike Dugas and Charlie Frederick all won their divisions as well. Even though the ground was wet and soggy, the...

Thank you strever! We're just getting started with benchrest, as this was only our 3rd match, but now all 12 of our lanes have benches and target stands, and our club members know what to expect, so we are ready to crank it up a notch. That 4th picture shows you some of the toys we play...

Just a great day all around for shooting, low 60's temperature, partly cloudy skies, wind 3-8 mph. We'll get this out of the way right now. The quote of the day was from Wayne Smith: "If you cheat, don't get caught". This sort of thinking is exactly why we don't allow Wayne to have an eraser...

Well Chas I tried not to rub it in, but for us in South Louisiana 38F IS pretty cold. And I'm not going to give you the standard line about our cold feeling colder than most other places because of the greater humidity in the air that always makes things feel 10 degrees colder than it really...

Jack Frost made a brief appearance at our first benchrest match for 2019. At sunrise it was 38 degrees, but it heated up to about 60 by the time we were done. It made us appreciate the temerity of our Northern brothers who shoot in low temperatures routinely. Our great nemesis, the wind, was...

AZ, Thank you! I love shooting BR, but I'd have to pass in 16-18 degree weather, rather be home in front of the fireplace with hot chocolate and the wife! Our summers though literally do get to be in the 100's in the shade, along with energy-sapping humidity. Weather conditions don't bother...

It's a good thing we postponed the match by a day to let the rain and wind go away, because the sky was crystal clear, the wind died down to manageable, and the temperature was in the lower 70's. Some may argue the wind point though since our range could easily be nicknamed "The Vortex"...

I was thinking about tuning it down to 12 fpe and try it with 10.3's again, but first I'm going to try max fps with the 13.4's. My new scale just came in so I'm reweighing everything into groups of .04 grains. I don't know anything about the reg setting or if the port has been modified...

Hmmmmm... Now you have me wondering. I was shooting AA Diabolo Fields 10.3, and found that the 4.8 or 4.9 head sizes performed the best, but the 13.4's at 707 fps have better accuracy with only weighing them to 1/10th grain. At the current 17.65 fpe, the 10.3's shot at 878 fps. 19.5 fpe...

AZ, My barrel is an early one, S/N 0035 with a LW 12 groove.

Hi Guys and Welcome! We are new too, Bayou Airgun Club down in Baton Rouge, LA. Welcome to the club. Richard Harris Air Pistol and Rifle Benchrest Match Director, BAC

Today I set a new PR of 248-7X. I'm using a TM1000 with JSB Monsters, first gen. The thing that bothers me is the 7X. Only 8 of the .177 holes were actually 10's before scoring with a gauge. I feel like I've found the best pellet for this barrel, and I prep my pellets by weighing to 1/10th...

Just how finely do you measure the weight on your .177 caliber pellets for competition benchrest? 1. I don't weigh my pellets. 2. To 1/10th grain. 3. To 1/100th grain. 4. Other. And what weights do you group them in after the initial weigh-in? Thanks in advance for your answers! Scrench

Thank you USARB! We at the Bayou Airgun Club are very proud and excited to be associated with you, and to be adding Benchrest to our club's roster of monthly disciplines that includes Field Target, Silhouette and Pistol matches. We also hold major events in each one throughout the year. We...

To cover my bases and make sure I have the proper equipment. I went ahead and joined USARB, and will get those two free gauges and magnifier as well. If nothing else, I can teach someone else to score.

Wish I had had that information earlier strever, thank you! Contacted Hughes immediately to make sure I got the right one, but I definitely would have enrolled our club if I had known.

strever, I hope you are right, but it wouldn't be the first time a manufacturer has made a mistake like that. If what you guys are finding is fact, that the new ones are not as good, then we should all join together and start barraging JSB with emails to be SURE they know our opinion.

Hmmmm... two negative replies, so far this is not sounding good if JSB decides to stop making the originals.

I just bought a .177 scoring plug for our club from Hughes Precision. I don't know if it's the best, but I'm sure it will do the job. It was only $8.50 with free shipping. Thanks for all the advice. Scrench

AZ, Your tip has certainly improved my scores! I was scoring my targets by their .177 holes, but although I don't a pro tool yet, I found a rod with a perfect .223" diameter and carefully resized all of the .177 holes to .22, using calipers to be sure the diameters were correct. Beside making...
