Wild River Air Rifle - USARB Report Indoor February 12, 2014

Great turnout today as we filled up the indoor range. We welcomed Jim from Washington and Chad from California as well as welcoming Oliver back to the BR fold. Unfortunately Jim’s P70 started spitting pellets all over after the first target. Next Postal in 3 months, Jim. Linda’s goal of just once beating Ron was almost realized. Thanks to Oliver’s sister for the donuts!

Great shooting Guys and Gals!

Mike,
What was the range temp?? At Holbrook we have had a delay getting the new heat and ventalation
for the 25 yard range. The last shoot was 5 F outside and maybe 30 F inside and nobody could see the target rings. My guess the heat waves off the bottle or air tube. The next day same cond but with a small battery fan aimed at the gun no problem seeing the rings. Yesterday used a mirage tube on the scope took care of the mirage! Or just roll a target and put it inside the sun shade for your mirage tube.

Hope Jim's P-70 is on the mend for the next match!

Any one going to the Nationals? Looks like Holbrook will have 3 or 4 going.

Range temp

Hi Paul,
I think the indoor temp was around 50 (same as outdoors). No mirage problem. Usually if it's really cold, I need a rag on my stock because of breathing condensation and the heat of my eye fogs the scope eyepiece. We don't have the heat (blower) on when we shoot because of the air currents it creates. I can't blame anything for the lack of a 750. Oh, wait...I think my pants were too tight. Yeah, that's it.
