Shooting Mat

Scott, The mats from Europe, like Thune, are good but very expensive. Champions Choice and Champions Shooter Supply sell a pretty good line of mats, both roll up and fold up. I like and use a Champions Shooters Supply trifold mat. It has a large slip proof rubber area, is firm, well padded, and fold...

Anschutz to Buy

Presuming that money is no barrier I would suggest either the 2013 ot the 1913. They are both good rifles. You will have to make the choice of aluminum or wood stock-a very personal decsion in my mind. The 1912 is an excellent free rifle, somewhat smaller and with less bells and whistles than its bi...

Eley Ammunition

The Eley Semi Automatic is essentially Tenex with a rounded bullet, similar to the old style, while EPS has the newer flat bullet. I have been told the new bullet design was brought about by jamming issues that occured with semi automatic pistols and Rugar 10/22s. I don't know how true this might be...

Once you have established a goal, be it a level of performance or competition, develop a written plan to meet that goal with objectives spaced to measure progress to the goal that includes mental training, technical training/equipm...

Improving Sight Picture

I have the same vision problem and have found a diopeter a great help, although it took a while to learn how to use it. I like it better than the Eagle Eye front insert which I have experimented with also. They are legal in NRA competition, see NRA Rule 3.7.
