Thread: Te Puke Rifle Club Shoot for Hunting rifles

The targets at 500 yrds are at a angle to the mound we put wedges behind the cronograph at the target to bring them more square on to the mound but i would take the fps readouts with a grain of salt
We have shot at 600yrds with a magneto speed on the barrel and compared the speeds and they seem to correlate ie higher speed registerd on the magneto speed we got higher speed registering at the target
Mike at the club has put a lot of effort into the electronic targets and we think compared to a few other clubs ours ours are reliable and relatively trouble free .Bully is correct that the speeds from target to target can change i have shot at a few ranges with electronic targets and some you knew if you ended up on a particular target weird shit would happen especially at the longer ranges.
A lot of this comes down to poor set up ,human error or understanding the workings of the electronic targets
