I am the keenest of 25m Air Rifle Benchrest shooters and I’ve won some national level Benchrest UK events.

I also qualified for the World Championships in 2023 but sadly I will be unable to attend. I shall work hard to make the next one.

I just want as many people to enjoy this fantastic sport as possible.

www.airability.Uk

The AirAbility KZread channel and Facebook group seeks to promote inclusivity in the air gun community.

With a focus on shooters with physical limitations or disabilities and their friends, we showcase outdoor and benchrest shooting as well as the back garden plinker.

Our intention is to create a friendly online community that can support everyone who wishes to take part in airgun shooting.

Everyone with a love of the sport are welcome and please feel free to contribute.

    Hello Matt, I am a blind shooter and I'm interested in 10 metre bench rest using bipod. I used to have a Steyr LG110 Match, but due to you know what, the club I was shooting at reduced the number who could be in the club at any one time, down to only four. So I stopped going and built a range in my back garden. The Steyr had to go as it was far too noisy, so I got a FX Dreamline VP Elite ST and use a Ronan single shot adaptor. When I was shooting at the club I competed in postal matches, since I had access to a range officer to sign the cards. Can't do that at home, but I would like to compete again if possible. World bench rest cater for 10 metre? Can't take into account wind when blind.

    Thank you for the video, I have just returned to Shooting an Airgun (I was a young lad when I started), I gave the barrel a good clean from the manufacturer and I was getting this type of consistency and I was worried I had done something wrong or there was something wrong with my barrel. I had forgotten about leading the barrel and how many shots it took. thank you.

    I purchased the scope but the weird thing is when you put the shade hood on the front of it you cannot adjust the scope you have to loosen the shade in order to adjust it.

    Do you think that this scope would be usable at 50 & 100 metres benchrest? I'm a little concerned that the centre dot may be too large at further distance than 25 metres.

    Recently found your channel, it’s a great resource thank you. Reference the chronograph and a comment you made in an earlier video regarding your advice about a standard deviation of 10 being the maximum recommended limit for competition bench rest shooting. How many shots would you normally do, to generate your sample size. I’m currently evaluating the capability of my HW 100 which has the factory fitted spring washer “regulator”. I achieved a 10.2 standard deviation over 110 shots which is a full fill down to about 95 bar. If I was to only shoot over the most stable section of the string, it would significantly reduce my shot count, and my current skill level doesn’t warrant that. I should say I’m shooting paper at 30 yards on my local range. Cheers from John

  • @airabilityuk
    @airabilityuk29 күн бұрын

    As long as you don’t go below the reg pressure you total speed spread should be stable. I do long strings but do shorter ones just to check regularly.

    Love this. Shooting and putting together sub-optimal rifles for BR is a rewarding journey. Shooting an adulterated hunting rifle means you must be very hot in the areas of technique, pellet management and learning to shoot in the wind (this is next for me). I love my underdog Goldie. Every good card i shoot i fully deserve. Every rubbish card is a learning opportunity. It's a great sport even if you don't use top flight kit.
