Initial impressions:- 1. I put the contacts in for ...

Steve - I looked a little further into the site you and Az-Speed gave and also dug a bit into presbyopia - interesting - it would seem that contact lens practitioners do, where warranted, fit long and short sighted lens together. The festivities and lousy weather have restricted shooting opportuniti...

Thanks for latest comments. As both glasses and contact lens prescriptions were several years old I went to my opticians (Boots in Brighton) and explained the problem, with measurements, to the opthamologist. The girl was excellent and I ended up with a normal prescription for the spectacles and a c...

Glasses for sb prone and pistol target practice – help
I know the following has been covered in part by previous posts but hope you will bear with me. My principal interest is small-bore prone but I also do some fullbore target and have recently acquired an FWB 90 for internal practice and sheer enjoyment.

Post let-off movement
I suspect this has been covered before but cant locate it. I have been letting my breathing take me vertically up onto the 'bull' to shot release and suspect, in the perfect world, recoil should take the foresight vertically up and back down to 'bull'. But it doesnt - it goes up left and back down r...

Rutty I am pretty old but young at this prone business. As I said I couldnt see the logic - with regard to the tightening the only thing I could think of was that the new pad position ensured a tight butt grip(to stabalise cant) whereas I previously had not been maintaining a firm grip! All contribu...

Butt pad orientation for prone
I shoot an Anschutz right handed and cant the rifle approx 6 to 10 degrees to help with eyeing the rearsight. The other week I shifted the butt pad to the right to push the butt in towards my chest and canted the pad on the butt plate to achieve cant without pulling it with my hand(ie bottom of the ...
