Re: Skanåker shooting glasses, impressions?
Have u used or seen the glasses Ragnar Skanåker sells? What did u think of them? I saw them in Feb - the ones fixed to a shooting hat. I thought they were pretty useless myself, but perhaps there are a few individuals who would get on better with them than 'normal' shooting glasses. Rob. Rob, I was...

I think it is partly true that the cocked wrist angle is designed to lock the wrist tendons which results in less wrist movement at the joint, However I think the real reason for this design has been missed here......The exaggerated downward angle of the wrist places the barrel at a much lower posi...

I wonder if the recoil absorbing system effect the result from a clamped gun. I know in photography you turn off the VR (image stabilization) when shooting from a tripod. The worst guns in this test all have some form of absorbtion. So do the best ! What is also interesting is the Eley pistol Xtra ...

This is a classic example of a rule that is off-base. As a sufferer of tennis elbow, I have used the strap that is placed on the forearm just below the elbow. It does help with relieving tennis elbow pain, and it also can be used to reduce the possibility of re-injury. The strap in no way, shape or...

You are totaly correct that the growing point of the bone are sponge like, so whilst one may presume that they will rebound from injury, prolonged and sustained damage can lead to perminant damage an they harden, In all honesty I believe this has to do with how much training the youngster under goes...

Julian, Your proposal reminds me of the attitude taken by (too) many hunters here in the U.S. viz. all I are about is my hunting rifle/shotgun; let the government ban assault rifles and pistols, it doesn't affect me.
