From HQ Moody: You have probably heard by now that we are moving the NRA SMALLBORE RIFLE CHAMPIONSHIPS to Bristol, IN, in 2014. This move is necessary to support the World Palma Rifle Championships scheduled to be held at Camp Perry in 2015. 2014 will be “dress rehearsal” for 2015. The 2014 & 20...

From Bill Carter, Smallbore Committee Chair, to the smallbore community Ladies and Gentlemen: This past Tuesday I was informed that a decision has been made by NRAHQ to temporarily relocate the NRA National Championship Smallbore 3-P and Prone from Camp Perry, Ohio to Bristol, Indiana in 2014 and 20...

I just completed a test; 16 five shot groups at 50 yards and the same number of ten shot groups at 100 yards. Rifle was an Anschutz with factory barrel and Leupold Vari X III scope with the groups shot off of the shoulder. The ammunition will consistently hold the ten ring at both distances, average...

It looks like an Elite rear sight.

As a rule sights do not come with the rifle when purchased new, they have to be purchased in addition to the rifle at additional cost.

Therefore there is no "original" sight set. Any sight purchase is "after market".

Tim, The Pershing will be shot in the center of the prone smallbore line around the point that separates Young and Rodriguez Ranges. If the Canadians attend we will need three blocks of ten targets with additional space in between teams-perhaps a total of 40 or 50 points in total. Petrarca Range wou...

Colleagues,

I have been shooting smallbore and high power rifle since 1961. After over a half century of participation in this sport I have, at long last, found the simple secret to making a small fortune in competitive shooting: start with a large fortune.

Of the many shooting disciplines there are two that have a remarkable similarity yet are miles apart philosophically. I speak of smallbore bench rest and smallbore prone shooting. This tidbit was brought to mind by a passage I read recently in a book about Ernest Hemingway by Terry Mort entitled The...

Josh Olson shot a 595X600 to finish in 28th place in the Mixed R3-10m Air Rifle Prone-SH1 competition at the 2012 Paralympics in London. In a conversation at Camp Perry in late July Olsen spoke of just how difficult this event can be to win. To that point the top eight finishers at the Paralympics a...

He was sorely missed at Perry. He began shooting with an NRA Junior Rifle program while attending high ...

To add to what has all ready been said a scope is a poor man's electronic trainer. By using a low powered scope, 10X to 20X, in holding practice you can get a very good idea of your area of wobble, the duration of your steadiest hold, and motion caused by your hand or trigger finger as you release t...

Hap, I am sure that you know that the 50 yard conv. anysight record of 400-40x+165x is Mary Stidworthy's. Are you talking about some record held by Dennis Dingman or Dennis Ghiselli? Paul B Paul, Neither, I am referring to the eighth post and subsequent postings by 'Dude referencing my friend Denni...

Dude, You are correct in stating that my friend Dennis' performance showed, "... phenomenal endurance." However, back in 1972, using "pasteboard" Eley, my All Guard team mate Ed Jensen shot a 200 in a sectional and then followed it up with an additional 500 tens on the A17 target...
