Army Skill Ranking vs NRA

Does anyone know how the Army's shooting skill ranking stacks up against the NRA's?
This guy I know, who also shoots air rifle, said in the Army he immediatly shot expert. The guy is a beginner in air rifle and would be lucky to shoot a 270/600. Expert in the NRA would require 480/600.

Supplements

I've found that using a Super-B complex helps the hold. You must choose the B complex vitamin supplement carefully. It must contain at least 100% RDA of C and should also contain Choline as either the inisitol, bitartrate, or preferrably the phosphatide form. The B complex and C are the water soluab...

LG100 vs LG110

Sure liked the look of the LG100 with the yellow and black laminate. Then there is the fine work of Alan Zasadny on the LG100. Does anyone know what the difference(s) is/are between the LG100 and the LG110?

Wow, thanks guys, and greetings Canada! Here in the middle of Kansas there isn't much in the way of air rifle supply. Can't find a coach or even an air rifle shooting organization.

Womans Team

Give this fine idea to the woman's team. Nancy Johnson yeah! I'd buy a copy of that calender. Maybe an international version with that cutie Olena Kostevych, her pistol wouldn't cover much though. She is over 18 right? That is what our sport needs - A beautiful woman's calender.

4 European Air Rifles

Thank you everyone for the posts on this topic. Of the four Olympic grade European air rifles (Feinwerkbau, Steyr, Anschutz, and Walther) I choose the Steyr, mostly due to their advertizing glitz. But now I'm leaning toward the Feinwerkbau after reading all this about the Steyr. If anyone has any in...
