Re: NRA writing off competitive shooters
I just got a call from some clown claiming to represent the NRA in a survey of members. I didn't get past the first question because my blood pressure spiked and almost blew the top of my head off. The question was "Which of the following is the most important focus for the NRA in 2017?" ...

Re: Re:
I shoot at a variety of ranges with different lighting. Outdoors there's usually plenty, but many indoor ranges are really dark, especially at the firing line. I've often wondered if there are rules against wearing a headlight (for example) that would illuminate your sights. It's mostly an issue an...

Re: Accidental discharge
A question came up at the club I shoot at (it's not a shotgun club). If the shotgun discharges accidentally when the shooter closes the gun but before gun mount or call for the target is it "lost"? Is there a difference International Trap and American Trap? Thanks! JLK The utterly worthle...

I tried shooting sporting clays once. Problem I had was, after having shot smallbore and high power rifle for 40 some odd years (stationary targets), I couldn't quite figure out how to shoot at a moving target. With time, I could make it happen, and it would be fun, but I am not there yet, due to l...

Is there a rule against multiple-lens glasses in pistol shooting? Not that I know of (in the ISSF rules). True, but if the lens combination produces a telescopic effect on the target, I would expect the jury to need to rule on the individual set-up. Dr Jim I don't get the jury intercession. Let's s...

Paul, look at Shotgun Sports magazine. There is usually a lead reclamation service advertising in there. Lead and copper are expensive. Your club should experience a profit for the metals reclamation. Shotgun clubs do this at some frequency. You pay to put your metal on their ground, and they collec...

Hey, Paper Punchers, Scared of a Little Shotgun Shooting?
Taking nothing away from bullseye shooting, as I enjoy it greatly, but see if there's an Olympic trap facility near you. Bring or borrow any 28" or longer over/under or semiauto shotgun, and give it a try. It might be the greatest challenge in all the shooting sports. Here's a three-minute ISSF...

American Trap is Too Easy ATA Trap is Too Easy
Google magnet. Comment, if you like. America needs to build up interest in Olympic trap and get away from that easy American-style trap that almost all ranges throw. Apart from this site, there really is no decent internet forum devoted to the discussion of Olympic trap. As this site runs first-rate...

From the University of Kentucky http://sweb.uky.edu/StudentOrgs/TrapandSkeet/InternationalTrap.html International Trap International Trapshooting differs from American Trapshooting in one very important point: IT IS MUCH MORE DIFFICULT! There are several reasons for this increase in difficulty: Numb...

Hope for TOZ-35 Factory Grips
My Toz 35 came with grips that bore a heavy brown stain and caused excruciating pain if I tried to insert my hand into them. Indeed, I could not even get my hand into the grips. To shoot the gun, I needed to remove the palm rest, and even then, the grips were terribly painful. After much sanding and...
