smallbore and air rifles are similar, yet very different. usually scores tend to be higher in air rifle. if your son saying he doesn't like the feel of his anschutz because it is an anschutz, then maybe you should look into other namebrand rifles (and fwb does make a sb rifle). if he doesn't like hi...

they say that having the buttplate close to the neck allows more of your body behind the rifle to absorb recoil. however, like with moist things in shooting, it's personal preference. personally i take off the butthook, turn the plate upside down, cant, then stick it close to my neck. i am an oddbal...

trigger pull problems
i am a smallbore/air rifle shooter and lately (the past couple of months) i have found it extremely difficult for me to pull the trigger in both prone and kneeling. at the beginning of the year my coach lightened up my trigger, but after trying it for 3 weeks and having nothing but trouble and an im...

master camps
i think it is an excellent idea to have a camp open to adults. i've been thinking about this too, because it seems like the majority of the camps in this country are designed for juniors. where do those juniors go when they get older and leave college? a camp open to adults would be great!

undergarmets
i would try underarmor, the kind made for hot weather. it would be smooth on your elbow, and wicks away moisture and body heat. i would wear it under whatever you use for a sweater, for a little extra cushion.
