We shot our last match of the season yesterday Oct 1...The conditions were NO wind which was nice, but then it was too cloudy and we had a drastic drop in temperature from 62-64 F to 32 F before we had a little snow (.1 of an inch or so) ...All of this happened in less than 1 - 1.5 hours... I...

Absolutely agree with you Joe...5X is the magnification for everyone and the same magnification should be used when VERIFYING records at the USARB... Joe mentioned that he uses a 10X Zoom, this is disadvantageous to shooters and may cause unnecessary issues and tensions between the sanctioning...

Joe: Thank you for your insights... The pictures I am presenting are not for the viewers TO SCORE, those are there to show how different magnifications produce different outputs, in this case that "X" is an "X" with the naked eye, with 5X and with slightly more magnification, but is not when...

Steve and Wilbur: Absolutely...I would only add that since the rules don't say anything about scoring tool type and magnification to be used, this issue needs to be defined by the ruling body of the sport so we all use the same tools, including the sanctioning body checking records. We...

Will: These pellets are wadcutters for 10 Meter shooting and are made by H&N...H&N selects their pellets coming out of the same molds in 3 categories: Finale, Match and Sport; pretty much the same ELEY does with their Tenex, Match, Edge and Club .22 RF ammo and their Tenex and Ventus airgun...

Hello Members: I have a question for the experts in scoring BR targets: What is the correct power magnification (loupe/magnifier) for scoring? If we were talking about diamonds, jewelers and the jewelry industry have set a 10X magnifier as the standard, if no flaws are seen at 10X then the...

Very nice club and installations...Congratulations for all of your efforts & success! Smoke and fires killed our shooting season this summer in MT, we are in the jet stream and got all the smoke from Oregon, California, Idaho and from some local fires around Flathead lake and Glacier Park in...

Thank you Dick...I will start shooting it in between our weekly matches experimenting with pellets and velocities...The scores that Bob Zimmerman shoots at 50 in unlimited very few people can shoot them at 25, but then you and Ron Silveira are the same way in Open... Regards, AZ

Good shooting!...You must be having a good time in OR with that good summer weather....We are finally enjoying summer in MT at 70 F with many sunny days and are trying to shoot at least once a week because our season goes from mid June to the end of September-first week of October at the...

That was a good size shooting crowd...Congratulations!... It seems to be that "El Niño" or "La Niña" or some "Mars" windy conditions have affected all of us shooting outdoors so far, not many 250's and 249's to date. We've had 5 consecutive wind storms in 2 weeks impeding any kind of shooting...
