How do you keep steady when heating is off?

it was FREEZING at the range today (~5°C) and everyone were shaking. CAN'T blame the cold so I wonder what's your experience shooting in extreme weather condition?

Re: Eyesight, sights and iris

Think you may have found you have answered your own question as you have found if you bring your target into focus by using an iris your shots go all over the place. What you want to do is to be able to see the molecular structure of the front sight - meaning it it perfectly in focus. That will mea...

Re: clicking sound in Steyr evo 10?

Mine doesn't move much because I put a little bit of synthetic grease on it where it contacts the trigger sear. Some people would say it will never wear enough to make a difference, and they are probably correct. glad to hear that this is common! You saved my day again, thanks a lot for the advice!...

Re: clicking sound in Steyr evo 10?

You don't know how lucky you are. Every time I shift my weight (fortunately 40 lbs less of it than a couple of years ago), I hear and feel clicking in my left knee. the million dollar question: does your knee make the clicking or is it that your knee can feel the clicking sound coming from your pis...

Thank you!!! I can sleep tonight :D

Re: how often do you practice?
