No I got that part. Your adjusting the rounds depending the average score of your wave. I just didn't like that as the plus minus facture has a function of no control for the individual shooter. Personally I would rather stick to the qualifying for finals vs sitting at an awards knowing you...
Mike I agree most of the comps have come down to a weather bench draw contest for just one card. I haven't been to PAC (hopefully this year). Most of the comps benchrest is just a small part and getting smaller.
I would love to see the benchrest comps better define the best shooter but I...
I shoot for the AoA and Daystate team and I love it. Centercut pretty much covered the financial benefits of being on a team. There is a lot of comradery hanging out and going to the competitions as well.
Personally I love the competition the goal of getting better and having a great deal of...
Might depend on which barrel is in that gun. The 1:30 or the 1:17.7? The 1:30 at that speed seems about right but may not have enough spin stabilization causing the pellet to act like a pellet stabilizing as it goes creating the illusion of a spiral. I would call that a wag with the pellet...
Where do I start. The action must be hugely more robust with a better method of securing larger diameter barrels without the 2 screws. The valve must be capable of delivering a much larger burst of air. There has got to be a plenum 80 to 125cc with programming similar to the Delta, Alpha...
So if I shot it in the 1:16 twist barrel and made it go faster it would start to stabilize better? Or would a slower twist with the faster speed be the way to go?
I'm shooting my custom designed barrels. Being a competitor I got tired of waiting for good barrels. Don't know if they are the best around still defining that. The barrels far exceed the stock versions. LW may make good sub 20ft lb barrels but that's where it stops.
I like the idea of 5x5. @ 100 is the tough part. Just moved to Kansas and bought a property capable of 100, but right now I only have 75 yards. 25 yards of lumberjacking to go. I don't think that you would see many if any 5x5's average less then 1.0 MOA slug or pellet
I don't know that is possible on a day to day basis. If you take out wind and shot indoors you would still have enough air movement in heating and air conditioning to ruin repeatability. While some guns can repeat better then others something as small as temperature change during the day can...
Using the Ghost 22 I have taken 1:16 and 1:24 twist barrels and shot many pellets at lots of different speeds. Results show me that the 22gr AEA pellet at 1030fps out of the 1:16 twist barrel works the best over the MRD 25gr pellet out of the 1:24 twist barrel 940fps tail wind, 960fps head wind...
I believe you are correct when talking about ballistic apps not seeing differences. In real life it for sure is baffling. Using the Ghost 22 I have taken 1:16 and 1:24 twist barrels and shot many pellets at lots of different speeds. Results show me that the 22gr AEA pellet at 1030fps out of...
The Ghost plenum is only 33cc compared to an RTI Mora that has 125cc. While you can shoot slugs its working really hard to do it, hard hammer hits and long valve opening durations. Better not be in a hurry for second shot as it has a cycle time to refill the plenum.
I would like to know more about that pellet. I'm assuming your shooting them pretty fast. I would love the see some data and some group pictures. I know a lot of people have moved away from 25 cal but I think it could be better than the rest in the right setup.
