Re: Returning to 3 Position: 20+ years later

I also have poor eyesight with a fairly heavy prescription. I have one of these monoframes from champions choice. It attaches to the rear sight and works great. Just have the place where you get your glasses to cut another lens to fit the frame. It isn't a real issue when shooting on paper targets b...

I am fairly new to this sport and am still learning a lot. I am intrigued by this electronics issue and have been wondering how this rule allows laptops for the electronic scoring targets. Is that because they are provided? I would think its feasible for one of these really smart kids nowadays to fi...
