Doc,
It is frustrating. My point is that by using velocity alone, the proposal and its enforcement would be overreaching, and it would cover the majority of airguns for sale today.
A lightweight alloy pellet made for these guns, like the 5.1 grain Gamo PBA, works out to about 7.25 ft-lbs at the...
Steve,
Thank you for getting this out. Putting the NRA-ILA analysis in front of the HAM audience is a big help.
One point worth adding. Garrett's Law sets its limits by velocity: .177 at 800 fps, .22 at 500 fps, and .25 at 450 fps. Using the lightest projectiles, a 5.1 grain steel BB in .177...
Hello all,
I have been tracking the developments on this bill. As I am traveling out of the country until next week, my response here will be very limited. Do not take that to mean that the industry ( and the ASA) is ignoring this issue. My quick comment is that not much will happen until...
NateChrony,
The Standard dose not dictate the alloy of the slug. All it is say is if you call it a Lead Airgun Slug it need to me 98% lead. If it is less than that it is "Hard Cast" If the Airgun Slug in made from Hard lead or alternative material it will called out on the packaging, and...
Pumacarl,
The Micro size requirement is handled by the "Match Grade Sizing" in the standard. It is defined as “a precision Airgun slug refinement of a projectile’s outer diameter to within a restricted tolerance of +/- 0.001 Inch (0.0254mm)”. If the slug is claiming Match Grade Sizing (MGS)...
Roamin,
The BB is has been defined in the standard since is was first published in 1978.
The "Foster style" quick disconnect is not in the standard. This topic has come up in the past, the non-powered gun committee has no representation from the industrial pneumatic fitting industry.
FYI - I only did one quick photo that did give me a different score than Eley. I didn't tray and track down the difference as I was just wanted to analyze the group.
I just saw the guy over at Thomas Air post this target software he is testing out. TargetIQ
I just did a quick test and it will score the Eley X targets. This is just a FYI, I am not suggesting we change anything.
One of the cool feature it has it will take all 25 shots and put it into one...
First off thanks to Bill M for getting this going! This is exactly what I need to do to figure out my Bench rest game.

John and I were talking about doing the same thing. That would be a good way practice FT. If there are other interested, maybe that could be a different division

Strongly disagree.
"The real thing is to figure out how to promote more local comps, that feed up to regional comps, that feed up to the nation comps. That's how you grow the sport and...
