Nice job, Jan!

Hi Keith, This is just what I’ve seen in air rifles. May not be the same for Rimfire until you get even further out than 100y. The top 100y air rifle shooters shoot as fast as they possibly can on...
There is a direct parallel to this in air rifle BR. 25-50M is the precision distance. If you attend a precision match, the same guys are always winning.
Extend the distance to 100y, and now...
That’s correct, Paul.

Hi Jack,
No sir...it’s a completely different target. The rings are bigger and the pellet class will be scored with a .350” plug. The Rimfire/Slug class will be scored with .224” plug.
Here...
Thanks, Landy😀
Thanks guys....this is a group effort from myself, my wife Matti, Joe Friedrich, Lou Fontana, and Dick Strever.
Mike
Thanks, Paul. I think you and your competitors will enjoy it. We hope to have everything up and running real soon. We will keep everyone posted.

The problem lies with the pellets. They are the limiting factor. 3x the drag or more than rimfire....they work fine, but just blow like crazy at 50.
Instead of waiting for the world to come...
Guys don’t use strippers in FT because they increase accuracy....they are used in FT because of the muzzle brake effect to reduce rifle movement during firing.
Mike
Yes...it’s just an expensive activity when done properly. Not really different than most equipment based competitions, I suppose.
The USARB implemented a stock type class where cost of scope...
Pete...it’s pretty difficult to take the the equipment out of a game that so heavily relies on a piece of equipment to get the job done.
If everyone dumped their ammo into a big pile and stirred...
250 is just a number. There will always be guys that work much harder and get a little more. It’s the reason that competitions exist.
The only way to “level the playing field” is to add...
There would be no way to shoot semi competitive against Rimfire without slugs. It’s the only way. Slugs have also been legalized for use in the USARB Unlimited division.

If you get a pcp at about 12 fpe....1 pump on a hand pump equals about one shot. I had only a hand pump my first year and it served me well.
If you got a 10m type gun...which are around 6-7...
I think I understand what you are asking...and No I don’t think the snaggy barrel was related to the lead used. I think it was due to it being a crudely made barrel with no hand work added to it to...
The muzzle blast does not allow anything that extends past the muzzle. Adding a tuner that overhangs the muzzle has destroyed accuracy for me.
Might be able to use one behind the muzzle. Have...
I don’t know anything about out the FX design. Can you machine a normal sized barrel to fit one of them?
I bought a superior heavy barrel a few months ago, but after pushing a few pellets through...
Hi Jan...bummer. Can you give us the short version?
Mike
Hi Pedro, Thanks.
I’m currently shooting this setup tethered. Once you get into the 65 + fpe energy levels it becomes impractical to try and contain all the air needed onboard.
This setup...
Hey guys...here is where I’m at lately with ARA cards. I have shot 14 in total with my proven setup....and probably that many with setups that I’m trying out.
My 14 card average with the proven...
Here is a purpose built 50y BR slug rifle. It’s a Thomas HP shooting 40gr slugs. Wind drift is similar to rimfire and accuracy is getting close. I’m averaging 248 on the Wrabf 50y card. Last 3...
Not that I’m aware of...but I’m not really in the loop.
Mike
Unfortunately....I really don’t know what’s exactly different. I can only make assumptions based on things I do know about the two.
The Rimfire cartridge makes a very small volume of very high...
