Post all scores & discussion for the month of October on this thread. Fire away! Course of Fire 30 shots standing (offhand) 30 shots seated with sticks Option to participate in offhand only, seat/sticks only, or both. All 30 shots for each position must be shot in the same session. Offhand...

Got her earlier this month, & what a peach she is. Shot close to a thousand pellets since then, & did some over the chronograph yesterday morning. Speed was down from when I first got it, and more erratic (still stacking pellets though). Bought a reseal kit shortly after acquiring; 600s...

A new thread will be started at the beginning of each month. First post will always include course of fire and rules as shown below. All discussion & scores for the month should be posted to that thread. Deadline will be the last day of the month. I will tally the scores, and finish that...

Spoiler alert: It is awesome. Really, really wish I hadn't waited so long. Been threatening to get one for years, for indoor shooting during the winter. Ironically, it was this summer's heat (still 90s forecast in mid-September... yuck) that finally convinced me I needed an indoor option...

As with any pursuit, airgunning has some persistent myths, legends, and questionable nuggets of wisdom. Asking the HAM team to post their favorite examples of airgun related "common knowledge" that you believe, or at least, suspect, is a pile of bull scat. Like honest politicians or one size...

Heavy rain on Friday gave way to oppressive humidity & intermittent showers on Saturday, but Sunday greeted us with sunshine. Still a little sticky, but but much improved- downright tolerable even! Had some wind, 6-12 mph from the northwest according to the weather app. That's the most...

Today was course setup day for the UFT match at Wyandot, OH on Sunday (shameless plug - WCA (Ohio) UFT match July 12 ). Which just about guaranteed rain. And rain it did. A lot. In very little time. 1.3" in about 15 minutes according to the clubhouse rain gauge. Six lanes were set before...

Gate open at 10am, match starts at noon. Practice range available. Come on out- any air rifle 100 fpe or under can be used! An extra seat & set of shooting sticks will be available. Location GPS: 40.807309 /83.159395 , near Nevada OH. Post here or PM me if you have any questions :)

Was getting so-so accuracy with pellets from my new .177 Vet II. Pulled the barrel & gave it a deep clean, then pushed a pellet down the bore checking for tight spots. Didn't feel anything significant, maybe one short stretch was a tiny bit tight. Proceeded with a polish, then applied paste...

Any of you HAMsters participate in Sporter class 10m, 3-position or standing? Aside from a quarterly postal match on available through the CMP website, can't find much evidence of anything available outside the (most excellent) junior programs.

First Ultimate Field Target weekend of the year at WCA, & it was a nasty one weather-wise. Mid-40s Saturday, breezy & damp; it sleeted on us while setting the practice range in the morning! Sunday was mostly sunny & dry, but the wind was brutal at 15-20mph sustained. Our saving grace(s) were...

Any of you intrepid HAMmers cooked up a ballistic coefficient for the AEA 21.9 grain .22 pellets? I did a while back, using the 1-yard & 55 yard velocities, but was suspicious of the result. Didn't report here because it seemed out of left field. After ~6 weeks of shooting on windy days or...

UFT schedule at Wyandot County Airgunners in north/central Ohio: - 12759 TR 133 Nevada, Ohio 44849 GPS: 40.807309 /83.159395 - Saturday 5/2: Rimfire match, gates open at 11am, match starts at 1pm. Targets 11 to 100 yards. 22 Long Rifle only, no "ultra-high velocity" ammo (think Stingers...

Have posted a good bit about my Vet II .22. Really do love that rifle- enough to get her a little sister in .177. Different caliber & stock material, but otherwise the same. Same 550mm barrel, "tactical" trim, scope, rings, & even bubble level. She does still need a pretty green ribbon in...

Began this project some time back- PCP - Vet II performance consistency (nerd alert!) - but had to start over after switching pellets. The goal was to see how consistent the setup is over a large sample size, not just a short string or one fill. The data below represents 500 shots over 11...

Have gone full stop, Coke bottle glasses, pocket protector wearing nerd since getting the Athlon Rangecraft chrony. Recently re-tuned my Taipan Veteran II. Out of the box, it was much too hot with middleweight pellets, so had turned the hammer spring way down. That change alone brought...

Couldn’t wait to start using this unit after it showed up on my porch, courtesy of the HAM Pumpkin Carve & Athlon Optics (thanks again @Athlon Optics for your generosity & forum support)! Have used optical chronographs for decades. Long before turning total air(gun)head, used them for archery...

Wanted to send a BIG thank you to this year's Pumpkin Carve sponsors- for both the awesome prizes, and your support for the HAM community! Umarex USA - Brand new Origin in .22! Read the excellent HAM Umarex Origin review articles- came away impressed with the gas piston system & how it...

Another beautiful day for a match, sunny skies & temp in the low 80's. We did have some wind to deal with- weather report showed 7-9mph average for the match time frame, with occasional gusts to 12. There were some lulls too, so timing was everything! Wind and extreme angle shots excluded...

Long story short, bought a tin of these to try in my Taipan but ultimately decided to stick with pellets. See that despite some very good reviews, they have been discontinued by JSB. If these are your huckleberry & you want to hold out just a bit longer before finding a replacement, shoot me a...
