Damn it George!!!

Have you done any reading about its associated app? Basic at best folks are saying, can't control the unit via the app, single file download, no way to name the file before downloading, etc.. Reviewers are hopeful Garmon will update. Still not enough for me to not want it!

Well the Magnetospeed didn't last long.......... Its gone

I made these protectors out of 3/4" plywood for my oehler chrony, after destroying one of the eyes with a sabot. The guides are old arrow shafts

Thought about doing similar with @Ninering62 using an AR500 steel plate target - he keeps trying to field dress them

I'll pass on both the Labradar and the magneto speed! But thanks!!

Looks like an old tv antenna.

What's a TV antenna?
Haven't they always used a cable in the wall or something like that????
Lol just joking.....

Years ago we used 'em to bring in quality shows from around planet Earth. Lately, they're used to bring in programming from other planets. That's where we get shows like The View, Morning Joe, etc from.

Anyone ever use a magneto speed straped to the barrel

I have for yrs now/Ed

 

[davesonic444]

Yup. I've used mine about a dozen times. I'm thinking of replacing it with the Garmin though.

Buy the Garmin! Don't look back. I have one and it is so much nicer to use.

 

[davesonic444]

You bought a Garmin didn't ya?

How long will those last you?

 

[ENCORE50A]

How long will those last you?

Hopefully the year.

If I make the June and Sept. matches this year, I'll send around 250 of them. I plan on considerable practice if possible.

I had been using the .452" 350gr Arrowhead XLD's for 3 of the 4 past matches. I will be changing to the .452" 300gr XLD's. All shot BtB.



These are the 350's

Wonder what that 350 would do in the 16 twist????

Wonder what that 350 would do in the 16 twist????

My opinion............. PERFECTION.

I'm dropping down to the 300's basically because they're more stable for my twist of 1:19. 45-70 shoots a faster twist and the 350's extremely well. I'm not totally sure of his twist.
Shooting in the matches the 350gr XLD's go subsonic at around 800yds, which means they go transonic likely around 700 +/-. The slow twist and low velocity just makes the longer bullets less stable while transonic with a 1:19.

Your 1:16 should shoot them exceptionally well, especially at long range. Here's the stability with a 1:16 twist
