People complain at the NRA ,
but I tell him " you know what, if I take first place then argue about it,
leave me alone and let me shoot".

They're pretty much lousy Shooters anyway, relying on this straight jacket of a Coat to hold them up.

Thats a great idea. ill be copying that.

Went to the doctor today and he gave me my options. I chose the drainage and the injection of the steroid. He didn't have trouble with me Shootin in 2 weeks provided I use the foam donut, that I described to him. However it's mighty sore right now and I was not sore before the visit to the office. H...

Yes this is my left elbow for prone. I'm glad you warned me. I didn't know it would cause permanent damage. I will keep up the ice and compression......... ...... it's good to know there's light at the end of the tunnel, judging by what you are alluding to in your posting. I have is using a gel elbo...

Hey you older long-term shooters out there........

What do you do about the onset of bursitis, especially for the longer prone strings?

It has come upon me suddenly and I'm not prepared for this. (swelling, pain).

and "RICE" dont help much........

Thank you,

I have to add the weight to the butt because
of the ( ! ) trend toward truck axle barrels . (rant).
A lot of strain and fatigue .....

The newest nano grease I found attracts barely anything,
that is, if you try to wipe it off its still there, acting as a lube.
Acts much different than traditional long molecule grease.

I really didnt honestly know that bit was important to clean rim fires.
The link above was eye opening with the pictures and explanations.
Thanks.

LOL....
...plus the sound of my hand slapping my knee and coffee spraying out of my mouth.

Yep....that's all the wisdom threads right there.

Riddle me this.... If shooters get all exorcized about letting the cleaning rod touch the crown , Why do they think that pulling a dirty rope across the crown...... ( because you cannot guarantee a perpendicular pull), .......across the crown embedded with bits of glass, carbon, and other trash is h...

This is a most reliable format.
Not broke.
So why invite grief .

it sounds like the balance point is ahead of your hand but ,......that is only this only the way it sounds. you describe the balance point very close to your hand . I had the problem you describe but it was a very heavy gun and too long I sure did and move this balance point much closer to my chest ...

yes what Rob Stubs said.
I would investigate raisng the cheek, piece and the sights.
I myself. I too have a long neck and shoot with a lot of cant ......... In addition to the high sights and elevated cheekpiece.
