i tried the 6 hold and it does not work for me on the duel stages. the target is so huge that i feel like i am aiming for the lower barrier at the kennmore range. a 6 o clock hold. center worked best for me.

as a walther gsp owner, here are some things to consider if you plan on purchasing one........... things i like: 1) outstanding quality 2) the trigger is great. lots of adjustment. not a crisp break but more of a rolling break 3) it will cycle anything you feed it 4) it is silly accurate. the factor...

ajustable iris question

I just got a Gehmann clip on iris thingy. I was wondering what the proper setting for the iris size would be? Is it a matter of personal preference or should I be setting to for a specific sighting picture against the target?

dry fire practice helps so much. i do it as often as possible. it is really amazing to see what your front sight is doing when you pull back on the trigger. with practice, you can get it to the point of near zero movment. one thing i like to do when shooting is dry firing the empty chamber after 5 r...
