SCATT Solution driver problem

I have a SCATT SOLUTION ( black box ), and I have been using it without problems for a long time. Previously I have updated it, and I have been using the Scatt professional version software without problems until now. However, I am having problems , as my computer cannot recognize the SCATT driver a...

anschutz tenminator bloop tube

Hello all, I am buying a bloop tube for my SB rifles (I have a 1913 which I use regularly and a 2013/690 I could not bring to the US when I moved in but which I use to compete back home): I found the "anschutz tenminator bloop tube" in the ahg anschutz website, and looked appealing to me, ...

NPA eternally high on kneeling

OK, I did increase the filling of my roll, and now my position points lower, at least initially. I will have to give it some more training sessions provided the weather cooperates for a few more weeks. My score did not improve greatly, but I think that was more related to other problems I did not ad...

NPA too high

You are right, a picture could help here. I tried to send a picture, but for some reason I keep getting a message about exceeding my Upload quota limit of 3 MB... I am of medium build, do not have long legs (personal opinion), and I am approx 176 cm (5"9' in inches, I think). I am currently try...

NPA eternally high on kneeling

I could use some help on this matter: my kneeling position keeps pointing to the stars (too damn high) despite everything I do. I have tried (once at a time of course): placing my left foot a little bit forward, handstop forward + loosening the sling, different placements of the left elbow, lowering...

Nice article in USAS Shooting magazine

Eric The paper is actually very good, and well written. It is very reality-based and balanced and I personally felt it could apply to me, as opposed to other papers in the magazine. I personally prefer the paper-based version of the magazine over the on line version, for some reason. May be it does ...

Nice article in USAS Shooting magazine

I read a nice paper by Eric Uptagrafft on part time shooters in the last issue of the USAS magazine. Probably applies to a lot of people in this forum, and certainly to me as a lonely part- time shooter! Somehow makes a point about really taking advantage of less frequent training sessions as compar...

brenzovich

I have bought from Brenzovich. They provide good service, as far as I am concerned (I got my P700 FWB rifle from them), and they actually talk to you on the phone (as opposed to just ordering from a website). You are right however, sometimes you do have to wait a little bit ...

I have the old one. The table of contents seems to the the same for the new edition. If you like pictures, go for the new one. From what I can see, the new edition does not seem to add a lot in terms of content (please correct me if I am wrong). If I had none, I would go for the new one of course, b...

bloop tubes/MEC ?

There is a huge price difference between MEC tubes (either one) and the Champion Choice one. How easy it is for you, Jason, to take it out for cleaning and then re-fit it? Do you have to do a lot of sight adjustments? Finally, what device do you use to fit it to the barrel, I saw different measureme...

I am looking for a bloop tube, and I was wondering if you have some input about what the best option could be. I have been curious about the MEC extension tubes (berta and strike). I do not know if anyone out there has any experience...

What hoops to you jump through for a home range?

I have the same problem. My wife. I use our finished basement, and this is what it looks like. I have a scatt system, and I also shoot live. I do not have a transport system, though, so I walk every ten shots.

bore cleaning, after every training session?

Hi again. I am trying to become a more disciplined shooter, and I have read about the importance of cleaning my smallbore rifle barrrel, as it apparently contributes to better grouping. I am using the cleaning rod, after every training session (approx 150 rounds) with both solvent and patches (vfg)....

ammo testing

So, from a practical standpoint how does the process work ? One contacts Eley for example directly and ask for this? Do they have facilities here in the US? I imagine there are restrictions for mailing barreled actions and other weapons parts in the US, they take care of that? I am not clear how tha...

ammo testing

Hey Barney, how would that work? That sounds like a very good alternative. I live in Columbia, MO, and I usually buy my ammo at Midway USA (located here in town), and other stuff at Champion Choice.

ammp testing

Eric I do appreciate a lot the thorough discussion you wrote about ammo testing. I think you are exactly right and the real question is: how far is everyone willing to push in order to improve his or her shooting?. I think when we adopt the prone position we all want to shoot 600, and we all work to...
