Standing Air Rifle

Konrad has some great videos. This is the first time, that I recall, that he has addressed the comparison between highpower and airgun/smallbore.
It's a tough comparison, too: the airgun target is quite a bit tighter, but airgun shooters never have to contend with uneven (ground) shooting points, extreme heat or cold, or trying to shoot an X while being buffeted by the wind. Not to mention recoil and noise.

After pulling lower back muscle 6 weeks ago, the scores went down, Now am all healed and pain free, and the scores went right back up.
I blew the last shot and redid it.

173, 176 total= 349, ave=87.25
trying new methods , angles , pressures on the cheek to cheek piece , having good results, near the end, usual good steady and this happened, knew they were good shots as it happened. A good reward for the work done. I saw a Jerry Miculek video, Kind of reminded me of my past shooting, If you try to quote "make it happen, your wheels will fall off", instead, "Watch it happen and Brilliant things will happen."unquote

Im not keeping score , hits on black are my goal for now,
177 10 meter air rifle, attempting to use it for 50 yards Standing, 640 fps, 8.18 grn wadcutter pellet.
Benchrest is better group target. 87% overall standing pos. The fun part of this is you can see the pellet go thru the paper.

Stanchion tubes from struts
to make air rifle weights.
to make air rifle weights.OK. I'm going to need more info...
Use the struts solid round, and cut it to length for the desired weight. I need to find the correct increaser bushing size, the strut was from a Subaru so it is metric 10 mm thread size, I think the hole thread size for the cheek piece is 6 x 1.0 mm.
Using a thin wheel disc grinder to cut these, it is hard steel, it takes time to cut , but the job does get done. It is a very affordable method to add weights and looks good too.
I put a Barska 20 x 50mm scope on the 900 for 40 yard Standing and am now at now at 13 1/2 pounds, and want to try another 8 ounces to get to 14 pounds.

After a summer of bicycling, had a good start to indoor 10 m air rifle standing season.
Just need to tighten up those 7's and 8's.
Just need to tighten up those 7's and 8's.
My goal for the 24/25 air rifle season. Step 1= lose the 7's and get to 365.
Step 2 = lose the 8's and get to 370.
Only shoot 10's and 9's.
At the same time, once a week or so, shoot a 60 shot session, and see if these scores can
be attained, shots 41 thru 60 will be the test.
I can hang all the targets needed for the 60 shot course, so all shots will be fired without a break.

Am presently attempting to get an air rifle program started here.
Wonderful building, possibly a tricky situation.

Presently practicing for the upcoming 10 week winter match.
Need to clean up those 2 wide shots and possibly get into the high 180's, train more will help.
Last nights standing, actually had a good run of 10's, the hard work is starting to pay off.
Takes me 45 minutes to warm up, get steady, this was the 2nd target, 1st was a 178.

Hanging 3 targets for either 40 or 60 record shots, this one is 180 + 187= 367 , 92 ave. The other night was 534 out of 600= 89 ave.Good example of what 3 months of training 5 to 7 days a week is. Starting to get very comfortable steady, still have to pull the trigger.
My goal is to get to 100.

Good deal on shipping, for 1000 targets, from National Target, MD, ship was same $ as 500 targets.
How can I help you? Information, rifle source, rifle type, gear possibilities, benchrest, prone , kneeling, standing, F-Class.
Having direct experience, sometimes getting a really good air rifle is not just placing an order, and it arrives in a week.
Also , can help in what Manufacturer/Brand, and their body type applications. Indoor only, Indoor/outdoor, Outdoor...
Used deals...?

Well, it's been about 40 years since 3 position when I was young. Shot a borrowed Annie back then.
I kick myself for not picking up a used lefty FWB on another forum a couple of years ago for a steal.
I'm too old now to stand without getting tired. So I think I'd stick with prone/kneeling/f class if I were to get back in to it.

Getting plenty of good shots, need to work on eliminating the wide ones.
