300m Aarberg Feldschiessen Final 2023 K31 / Kar 31 GP11 

Shades of Day of the Jackal and Jack Black's hand....

It's so effing easy to do, isn't it? Back in my target rifle days, "I lost a point cos I adjusted the wrong way for wind" was not uncommon (and in that world if you're not shooting a full score you're not sparking unless the wind conditions are atrocious).

Thanks. There's still a touch of Dutch in there I think, on some of the vowel sounds, but far less than there used to be.

@@BlokeontheRange You speak the "Berner Dialekt" very good.

Merci vieumau :)

Can't you just aim 8" to your right and call it good?

Yes 😁

Jein... S cha e chlei unaagnähm sii ohni Schiessjacke, nämli mitem originali schaftkappe us stahl...

@@BlokeontheRange Ok... Ja es isch de vom Grossvater und er het di originali Stahl-schaftchappe. Mal probiere XD.

A bit of publicity for my friend who's shooting to the left of me ;)

@@BlokeontheRange I thought you were selling brass deflectors now 😂

Originallauf. Cha nid klage 😊

The original diopters are 2cm per click at 300m, which is near as damn it 1/4 MOA. I don't recall ever having said anything different.

@@BlokeontheRange Just rewatched the part and I just misread 2cm/click at 300m as "2 click at 300m" .. sorry for the confusion 😒

No worries :)

This changes how your sight picture appears, making you less accurate, and holding off 5-10-15 cm at 300m by eye isn't at all easy with a blade, and is impossible with a ring (I use a blade though). Back in the day when people had to use the military sights they would apparently correct for wind by canting the rifle, cos this gives you enough of a degree of fine control to move the point of impact the few cm one way or the other.

@@BlokeontheRange Interesting. That would make for a good video if it's windy again to tape a digital goniometer on the rifle to try that. How do you gauge the wind at that range? Is there a flag/hose?

At Aarberg there's flags at both ends of the targets. Normally there's a flag somewhere. You're sheltered from it at the firing point though. A lot of Swiss shooters deny the effect of wind though (unless it's really windy).

No. 2 - Jahrgang 1948... 😎

I couldn't help myself and was timing him between shots by the highly accurate method of counting one thousand, two thousand, three thousand etc. Reckon he's getting a round off every five or six seconds so let's say 10 a minute, so 600 in an hour. This does of course assume that the reloads are slick with loaded magazines being fed to him, and the Chinese in question have the decency to rock up promptly, in the same place and then stand still. HTH.

The flashing cross is the position of the last-fired shot and the arrow indicates the direction from the centre. The arrow is a bit redundant but it's probably a hold-over from the previous-generation LED boxes like you see in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5RRG2iAMQmw.html

@@BlokeontheRange Thank you!👍

Most people were shooting a Stgw 90 so yes
