I voted once in a while,

But the trainer isn't mine. The club owns it. Each kids gets a couple of sessions a season on it.

I work mostly with the precision kids, but the sporter guys gill their cylinders in the freezer and we have a digital scale to weigh the cylinders and ensure they only have the proper amount of CO2 in them.

Anyone going to be there next week?

I'll be there with my daughter and one other kid (and his dad) from our club.

Our club also provides all the gear for the kids. We have sporter and precision air guns, jackets, stands, scopes, just about everything but pants. For fund raising Try your local VFW, American Legion, besides 4H programs. All of them have air rifle shooting programs and postal matches. A local VFW ...

At easter time we shoot those candy peeps chickens. Lots of fun, get the hard ones, they break up nicely. I also had the kids hang a target backward and shoot a smiley face on the back side of it, then complete it by connecting the dots. I then took a team picture and sent the targets and picture to...

I was really amazed.

This year Virginia had our Junior 3P air sectionals up in Germantown Maryland, in the Gym of a public High School.

I can't imagine our local county allowing that to happen here.

Wow! Ours is about 80% Girls and 20% Boys. (of course when one of the coaches has 5 daughters that does tend to sway the numbers a bit)

Call Mac Tilton at mtguns.com

He has lots of used anschutz in stock and also offered me the option of the walther stock on anschutz actions on a recent purchase. I ended up going with an older anschutz for a cheaper option. But my daughter likes tha anschutz wood stocks.

Besides the NRA, and Friends of the NRA, have you approached your state rifle/pistol organization? How about local VFW, American Legion, Izaak Walton League, 4H, Optomists and JROTC? They all sponsor junior shooting programs and may be a source of funding. Gun raffles are usually a good source of in...

Should have updated this sooner.

Gun is sold.

Any rules that would prohibit using a wired camera, or a wireless one like an X10, placed out near the target instead of using a more expensive lens at the shooters position?

I knew I should have ordered a new pair of pants for my daughter last week.

Best of all it should be possible to simply rechamber your existiing .22 match rifle barrels for the round. Serious suggestion, people. It's not a matter of simply rechambering existing rifles. Even if your rifle has an action long enough to handle the .22 Hornet (which most aren't unless they are ...

And now the Womens 10 meter Air Rifle Scores are posted. Gotta love those Virginia Girls!

Go Kristina!!

And what about Emma Holman? Top rated J3. That little girl is only 80 lbs soaking wet and about 4 ft tall. FEAR THE NUT!

They still have the Finals to shoot don't they?

On my daughters guns they fit into her case with the sights on.

When we are going to local matches and handling the case ourselves the sights are left on.

If we have to fly to a match the sights come off. If I had to ship it somewhere via commercial carrier I'd take the sights off.

The aluminum stocks have a lot more adjustments, but we've found with Juniro shooters they spend a lot more time fiddling with adjustments than they do shooting. I think almost all the shooters in our smallbore club have a P70jr. (we ordered them through CMP which doesn't carry them anymore they now...

I'll have to check the model number, but the one I'm thinking of is being used by a 14 year old boy and he is fighting the weight of it.

Adult or youth?

I know of one for sale.
