...thick layer of "welded" pellets in the 9-10 rings. ... I get the same "nuggets" building up. Simply pop them out with a screwdriver, press the duct seal flat with your fingers, it takes more time to type this ... and you don't have to do it often. If you don't reclaim the lea...

I took a dollar store clipboard, trimmed it to 8.5 inches wide and cut out the interior leaving a 3/4 inch "ring" of clipboard material. I then built a box out of scrap shelving (plywood works perfectly as well) that's about 9.5 inches wide, a foot tall and 12 inches deep. On the open (fac...

231 and Red Dot in the .45 for me ... never tired BE. I had good quantities of those two powders when I first began working up .45 loads. I found a couple of good recipes and stopped there.

Funny how we are all different on this issue. I'm getting a headache with this dark format.

My youngest son throws javelin. Here in Washington State they have to have a rubber "cap" on the business end of the spear. It makes the spear throw and fly differently, and makes scoring difficult as the spear no longer sticks in the ground, it bounces! The accident rate has risen with th...

I would suggest that when training, one doesn't want to stray from actual match conditions to the fullest extent possible. so when shooting a reduced distance, one should ensure that the target black is the same relative size as the regulation black when shooting the regulation distance. You already...

I'd go to rimfirecentral.com, that probably has the largest 10/22 discussion group on the net. Having said that ... what exactly are you trying to prevent? The vast majority of out-of-battery ignitions with a 10/22 are caused by a dirty chamber, incomplete seating of the round, and the bolt hitting ...

If they are using standard nomenclature that single ' stands for minute of arc (1/60 of a degree) and a " stands for second of arc (1/60 of a minute)

I can't imagine how you would determine 10 minutes of rotation with hand tools.

Bob, you are an impressive craftsman ... and your willingness to share your work (love the low cost match rifle you did) is above and beyond!

Thank you ...

Thank you so much! I noticed that Boyds don't really offer many competition stocks so could you tell me a website where I can find an Anschutz stock like you mentioned? He doesn't want to but one from a dealer like Champions Choice he wants to build one. He wants Shilen rifle actions and Lilja barr...

Are you interested in shooting 300m or the other events? The 300m uses a centerfire gun, the others a .22LR. I don't think Shilen makes a .22LR action ... but check me on this. I don't mean to be rude here at all, I really don't. This is just one shooters observation so take it as that. Having said ...

If you had the tools collected, you could probably do two of those mods in the time it took to compose & send the email ... Hmmm .... well .... NOT!!!! LOL I just finished up modding the trigger on my son's 853 and it went, pretty well all things considered. It probably took twice as long to ge...

Great news! Thanks for sharing and please keep us posted on your grandson's progress!

A loose hanging drape will "soft catch" the brass, then allow it to fall straight down. It mustn't be too stiff and heavy however, or the brass still carom off as it does on the hard surface. If you are familiar with baseball ... think of how a Jugs Net stops a batted ball with very little...

Hi Rob, 54 here ... shoot irons almost exclusively as well. You may want to consider dedicated shooting glasses that will allow you to place a proper lens directly in front of your eye while in position. With these you will be able to see the fore sight properly. I'm at that stage where I'm looking ...

Wow! How do you pull that off?

With differing lots of ammo, lighting and target heights at different ranges, not to mention that some day's I'm just different ... I need to adjust my sights rather frequently.

My club has members who don't bother to retrieve their target... I had the same experience when I first started shooting BE. An old-timer there would shoot about 50-75 rounds at a single bull. When I asked him why he didn't change targets he said, "Why should I? All I need to make sure is that...

Maybe we need to back up a bit here - if the range at Bud's depended solely on "precision shooters", they'd have closed long ago. If someone is having fun blowing through $50 worth of ammo in 10 minutes or less, it's up to him to decide what his definition of "fun" is. And he is...

Nail polish works too, and the ladies always seem to have a color they don't want anymore.
