Back stop Material

Being a shooter I had an NRA instructor call me and ask if I knew of a good material he could use as a back stop for pellets. I work for a fertilizer company and one of the products we use is wide belted material. We use the belted material on a conveyor, when it wears out it now goes to the local r...

First timer

I wish I had a employer like you. I like this idea. Shoot a 10 m Gus Match! This where all shooters gather, and watch the two shooters fire. The watching shooters can try and distract the shooters anyway they can, just not touch them or go forward of an imaginary line. This is a match style we use w...

Shot rejection

You got my attention. I know when I squeeze the trigger if the shot should be a good one. I would like to see how everyone does shot rejection.

JROTC

You think that is bad. Most of our local High Schools have dropped the ROTC programs altogether, including the air rifle! We fight to reach new shooters, teach the basics and hope someone will enjoy the sport. We started 4-H shooting sports seven or eight years ago. The group has grown, but not as f...

cartridge stamping

Group, This is the exact way they will remove our firearms from us, by limiting the ammo we have access to. Yes, I live in California and those of us that try and shoot here get tired of being harassed by the anti-gun group. The next big legislation coming for California is the removal of all lead b...

Ammo

I was afraid you were going to something to that effect. I had the rifle tuned by a person that was very, very good. I guess it is back to him, have the rifle tuned, again. You are right about the ammo. I practice with SK or Wolf, which scores better than I do. You bring up about ammo testing, why d...

Ammo

During matches I currently shoot Lapua Ammo, Mater L, lot 5650 G. I have enough for two more matches, maybe three if I am lucky. I hope to shoot more matches than that this year so I am looking for a replacement lot. Does Lapua have a have a comparison chart that would take me to a similar shooting ...

ProneMatch

Dan, I wish I had a match to go to. I think that it is great you and your club are putting on night matches. Rest assured that if I were close to your facilities I would try and shoot every match, not that I could keep up with the score that I have seen posted (but i would have fun). How many shoote...

Kimber 82

The Kimber Model 82 is a good starter rifle, I shot one for three years before I moved to the Anschutz 2013. I passed the rifle to another shooter that was starting out, and he is still using the rifle and does well with it. The great disadvantage is the sights just do not adjust like the Big A. If ...

Anschutz 2013/2012 Position

If you are going to change stock make sure you look at the stopper stocks. There are several advantages that I like over the Anschutz. The link for this stock is below.
