    Best ELR Rifle Info

    There is nothing wrong with using ES as a constraint. In a standard normal distribution you can assume the relationship between SD and ES that you mention (depending on your CI). I usually see velocity curves that are fairly biased though and that makes SD a less useful number. For a shooter...

    Subsonically "bad" bullets

    While the radar setup that AB uses is a more approachable $100k and change, it tops out at 15 watts. Vastly cheaper than it used to be for similar capabilities. Reaching out further requires more power and more exotic and expensive equipment like the Weibel's. My guess is that the number of...

    Subsonically "bad" bullets

    I know what capabilities are occasionally quoted but I've seen no actual data past about a mile on anything as small as we are concerned about. Can you show me any actual data at 3000 yards? -Alex

    Subsonically "bad" bullets

    Don't overthink it. Modeling tells you a maybe answer and hopefully helps you avoid clear failures when it comes time to making something and testing it in the real world. We already have real world data and demonstrated capabilities so applying a generalized model is pointless at best...

    Subsonically "bad" bullets

    If we are talking about bullets that transition and are still predictable then the list gets pretty short. The CE Lazers do well and there is plenty of evidence on that. At least in the near subsonic range, the A-Tips seem fine. I haven't seen them enough at extended range to have an opinion...

    ELR match choice?

    I really don't. I only hear frequent complaints about an unleveled playing field. As I said above, if nobody is practicing there anyway then the easy fix to those complaints is to make practicing on those targets forbidden. I see at a glance 6 people that were unranked. Good number of those...

    ELR match choice?

    4% was off the cuff but I was close. It is 31 hits in 594 shots with light guns for the season so 5%. That includes the rookie light shooters since I don't actually treat them differently in my records. If people aren't actively practicing between matches it is probably a good idea to just...

    ELR match choice?

    I was going by the season hit rate. Any one match and the hit rates are at the mercy of conditions. Across several matches gives you a more honest answer. -Alex

    ELR match choice?

    For light gun matches that are geared towards experience shooters, having the first target out past 1200 is usually what we do. For matches geared towards new shooters, then having a little overlap into familiar ground makes for a more approachable match. Even with experienced guys, the first...

    ELR match choice?

    Big matches are won by people that shoot a lot. Most of the best shooters have shot essentially everywhere at least once. BotW gets you a broad swath of ranges for both classes. Heavy ran 8 targets between 1941 and 3564 and light ran 8 between 844 and 2507 this year. That is a pretty solid...

    ELR match choice?

    Early in the year, Unholy Alliance is a good beginners match in terms of distances and people. Has some challenging winds that can be fun and you can shoot both classes. Best of the west is a good choice though. Good match director, more targets then UA and VASTLY more appropriate light gun...

    2403-yard shot on a can of red bull, sounds like a load of bull.

    My response on such videos is more or less uniform. Cleary he is a badass and should come to a match and demonstrate it in front of everyone. -Alex

    URSA to submit match data for Ko2M shooter ranking - UPDATE #3 (BLUE)

    Heh... we had more turn tables come through for review but I have a distinct memory of the interior of that. The coil was massive. Something like 4" diameter and the better part of a foot long. Made the tuning coil on the radios I made as a kid seem like a joke. -Alex

    Ko2M 2023 Rankings

    Here are the final rank updates for the 2023 season. The 2022 rank updates will be out after Poke the Bear and will have all matches prior to October 2020 expired. Here is a pdf version of the results so they are more legible. Congratulations again to Josh, Justin and Ron. Great shooting...

    Ko2M 2023 Rankings

    Thanks. Was really fun to actually shoot it. First time since we started it in 2015... Special thanks to Justin Wolf for the use of his gun :) Hard to get your head in the game going from running things. -Alex

    Ko2M 2023 Rankings

    I would guess the West coast will get rolling before too long. There are enough shooters and interest to sustain standard ELR matches. Just a matter of a location being found (Not in a BLM area)and a match director stepping up. So a bit of ELR history. Oscar and us basically started at the...

    Ko2M 2023 Rankings

    Oscar certainly has a different vision for ELR and there is room in the world for different styles. We decided before our first match to make shooter skills for transitioning between targets a priority. He went with more of a pure marksmanship approach. Would be nice to get some standard...

    Ko1M 2023 Ranking

    I don't seem to have those results. Maybe they got lost in the ether but searching my mail for them comes up empty. -Alex

    Ko2M 2023 Rankings

    Not sure who you are referring to. There are some good shooters in CA but there are no compatible matches. To date, I have not had a single qualifying shooter from an URSA match because the format is so different and the record keeping makes mining historical data impossible. It doesn't mean...
