USA Shooting Or The Lack Of It

Ok, I guess I’m going to be the squeaky wheel and the bad guy. I am a dues paying member of USA Shooting and I have been off and on although I used to live in the edge of the galaxy with no hope of a place to shoot. So here in Buda, Texas near Austin, Texas. You know Texas, the second most populous ...

Re: What would happen to air rifle without special clothes?

So rifle shooters don’t twist and bend anymore?
The jack acts as a sort of body cast after a fashion?

Re: What would happen to air rifle without special clothes?

You wouldn’t believe how much weight the top international compound bow archers load on their front and back stabilizer rods! You look at their weight stacks and it just hurts, then you realize it it might be tungsten to boot!

Re: What would happen to air rifle without special clothes?

Why would there be injury? Just from the weight of the rifle?

What would happen to air rifle without special clothes?

What would happen with ISSF rifle if special Jackets, pants, shoes, etc. were outlawed. Only a light jacket for prone or elbow pads. Archers and pistol shooters don’t seem to need them. Rifle shooters can barely walk in their shooting suits and they serve to raise the bar to entry another few thousa...

Re: 10m in Houston?

I'm going to get daggers here but the folks from USA Shooting need to walk over to USA Archery and see how it's done. I needed some help with a coach for Compound target shooting. I had a return email inside of 30 minutes and made one telephone call and had a level three coach lined up to help me se...

Re: You, too, can become the next action hero

I get kind of tired trying to explain why he doesn't have a complete leather suit like a rifle athlete to those who just saw their first pistol match. BTW why do they allow the leather suits in air rifle? I have a feeling they cost as much as the rifle. Might be better to get rid of them completely ...

Re: 25m RFP Proposed changes

It’s strange but in archery compound bow has single elimination finals just as Olympic recurve does. Even though compound is not an Olympic event. But wait, it gets stranger! Recurve shoots at 70 meters at a 122cm face in three arrow ends .using a set system like tennis. Two points for winning a set...

Re: S&W 14 rear sight

Here is what I came up with on my Model 14-7 with the LPA sight. The picture of the sight picture is not what it looks like at arm’s reach it is much tighter. I will probably open mine up a bit with a safe edge needle file. In any case the the LPA rear sight blade is much bigger and blockier and mu...
