barrel and action weighs 3.2kg, so if you have that, take barrel off, weigh receiver only, subtract from 3.2, result = barrel weight. Convert to ounces. Allow for gravity variations across globe of course.

i think the aspect that trips some up is thinking that visualisation is about the visual image in your head. Not everyone thinks in visual terms easily. instead, try thinking about the other senses, think of what you are trying to visualise in those fields... smell is a good one, being aware of your...

Discuss the rifle training w your doctor and PT. They should be able to help. The PT especially. You can also use a Home Depot back belt, to protect your lower back. Only thing is, I don't think it will fit under a shooting jacket. If the problem is with the feet affecting the back then really the ...

In specific terms, i'd say you'd probably end up chasing other problems with another discipline. Although many people suffer common issues across disciplines, you end up working on something specific to each one. If possible, find a coach if you can. The problem with a shooter suggesting to themselv...

my sights are clear, however my rifles have all developed wobbly barrels... is this a related fault?

Assuming this Brian Morgan character is from London England, I'd suggest contacting some forum members from the UK to see if they know him. If they do they may be able to give you some insight into the man, or the situation. Brian There is a mechanism for alerting UK airgun forum admins, and this h...

The Commonwealth Games are even listed in their calendar and - please do now visit the ISSF website - the ISSF does daily reports on the world's current shooting news (lower left corner). Yeah, but not on the Olympics, and not on the Commonwealths, neither of which they have media rights for. Once ...

Well, i thought the first post that opened the thread was more silly, especially from someone proporting to know what they're talking about.

Try sharpening your axe on that chip of yours instead of trying to pick the bones out of thin air.

He is looking through the sights when this is happening. thanks for the tip Doodie, I'll try without a coat for any minute position problems.

when is he looking through the sights, or downrange?

i was under the impression that gases cannot expand faster than the speed of sound unless there is as a special shape preventing expansion back. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Laval_nozzle the gases you see exiting before a round does are because they got past the round and down the barrel before t...

because you don't know if that's the solution... if you don't have a constant problem, how can you make an offset which is a permanent solution. Once again I think you are going beyond the original question. "...I'll find that the group settles down consistently to some spot outside the 10...&...

because you don't know if that's the solution... if you don't have a constant problem, how can you make an offset which is a permanent solution. Your coach is right. That's why you concentrate on a solid ability. Having a fleeting performance increase without getting to the bottom of what provided i...

While you should strive for that same concentration during a match, there are no prizes for firing the highest number of perfect shots. The prizes go to those who have the highest score. Adjust your sights to maximise your score on the day. depends if you believe chasing a score is the way, or chas...

Coaching of shooters of different levels requires different advice. Just because the top shots do it, doesn't mean it's applicable to non top shots. Top scores don't qualify you as a coach, nor do they elevate you from potential improvement by one. Qualification to give advice is particularly import...

When I am getting into position I am putting my hand right up against the handstop, so yes this is where all of the force (weight?) is at. As far as the position of the sling it comes down and around below my wrist which causes another problem..it digs into my the back of my forearm and I have quit...
