Re: Pellets

Testing 2 brands and grades of pellets. Granted I do not have a perfect set up for a test bench, but at least it is equal opportunity when it comes to inaccuracy. I decide to use my biathlon paper targets. The air rifle that was used in this test is my Steyr LGB-1 biathalon. As for the pellets, one ...

Re: Pellets

When my vise is repaired, I can then test the Daisy pellets. So far they work well. I put them side by side with my JSB. It seems that the skirts of some of the Daisy pellets are not in perfectly round shape, or inside the skirt it also is not perfect. I also put a bunch of them in the shaking box, ...

QYS pellets (tins of 500) at SportShootingDepot would be probably the cheapest world class quality pellets to get. https://sportshootingdepot.com/product/qys-training-pellets/ If planning to buy in bulk - call or shoot an email to get an additional discount The only problem with them is the packagi...

Re: spare

You are not reading the rule correctly. In a short sprint the shots per station to clear 5 targets are 5 from the magazine and up to 3 spares single loaded. There are no rounds saved from 1 leg to the next. The shots are not cumulative. Each stage resets the allocation to 5 and 3. So P (5+3) and S ...

spare

I just want to make sure what I got is correct, after reading the IBU rules. It is different from the Paralympics rule. In relay competition, for example a short race, an individual has to shoot 5 prone targets and 5 standing targets, with 10 rounds in magazine and 3 spare rounds in total. How do u ...

Re: Pellets

Very true indeed.
You either hit the black, or you miss.

Um, Rover, it is not a semi-automatic, so spray and pray cannot be done....at least the spray part.

Re: The logic of Target Sprint

They really need to use the penalty loop in all competitions instead of time penalty. The question however will be, is 150m a good distance, or maybe another distance? I also do support retaining two rounds for spare and must be hand loaded. I do not know how to ski. But I did have a IZH and a Steyr...

Re: 5 shot air rifle for beginners??

The paralympics biathlon is even better. Those guys and gals must be super human. I do recognize they either use LGBT-1 or p75. There is no need for harness since the rifle is placed on their individual firing line. There is also one for the vision impaired, I do not know what brand it is, or the mo...

Re: Pellets

You should be practicing with the same pellets you compete with. How else do you set up rifle if different when you get to competition if it changed from cheap pellets. Yes, I know. But I am not doing this for competition. my "good stuff" is J&B Match Light weight 4.52. They are not c...

Pellets

Can someone tell me, here in the USA, what is the cheapest .177 diabolo pellets? I'm asking because I shoot a lot of biathlon air rifle. I have my own good stuff, but I want to use cheap stuff for practice. I shot around 44 rounds a day. Sounds a lot but since I go by 5 targets at a time, it is pret...

Re: Moroni ap

See my post. Gas station pump is not enough. Tire pressure usually is in the 40s psi. 200 bar (Morini 200EI) is 2900 psi.
