Post by: Teichi on September 16, 2022, 08:11:49 PM
With Kokohead closed, air rifle may be the new game for adults now. The high schools have been doing it for years.

Sacred Hearts vs Hanalani. Hanalani's range set up is in Founder's Hall. It's a multi purpose building with a ballistic curtain as the backstop. Target frames are wood with a 10 gauge steel sheet to stop the pellets.

Speaking as a former high school shooter of the small bore rifle team and air rifle team they've been around for the last 20 years the air rifle teams, 22 was ended back in 98. All the schools in the OIA participate in air RIFLERY, but the original 4 high schools, McKinley, Roosevelt, farrington, and leilehua had actually rifle small bore ranges at the time sponsored by the US military. Just some fun facts

Does he have his own air rifle? If so, have him practice shooting positions and dry fire at home. If not, get him one.

That's a good air rifle for beginners. It is capable of good accuracy.

With all the old people in the state, why are there no Senior competitions? Are organizers afraid of old people being unable to get off a mat, or falling asleep during the match?

My problem with this is that my vision sucks.  I wouldn't be able to see the tiny target using the iron sights.  So bascially, guessing where I'm aiming.

I would probably have the same problem for the military rifle qual at 25yrds and the smaller targets on paper to simulate greater distances.

Typical air rifle matches are about 30 ft and the black bull is big enough to see in Iron sights. If you can drive a car, vision isn't a problem.
