Click/sight values 25 vs 50 yd
I am considering joining one of two clubs. One has no 50yd allowance, has 25yd and is a real bargain and has staffing. The other club has both 25 and 50 yd berms, but the club gives me the hibijibbies as the club has no RO on duty and is 33% more. Just how important are sight changes between 25 and ...

Re: IOC, the ISSF & the Extraordinary General Assembly
As well as the Tokyo 2020 changes, the row centres on a letter circulated by Rossi, claiming ISSF secretary general Franz Schreiber and fellow vice-president Gary Anderson had held secret talks with the IOC about the possible introduction of laser guns into the sport. "secret talks"?? Why ...

Dot Recommendation for 1st timer
Well my eyes have finally given up on straight irons for BE. I do use Vargas for AP though. But dont want the hassle of taking them on and off, etc for BE operations. I have a Browning BuckmarkTrailside with a full length Weaver (?) rail and really cant break the bank on a dot sight. I handled a Tru...

Target Distance
For the longest time I have been using a home set up for AP practice. You know the type ..through one room, through another and into a third. Well I REALLY thought I measured correctly but I did not. It ended up being 31 feet. At 31 feet I can keep my spotting scope, pellet holder, etc all set up an...

Getting Varga 3000s
The set has the large pistol lens and a offset smaller lens. It also has 2 different nose pieces. One straight and one really offset. I imagine that the small lens and offset nose piece is for rifle, but is part of the deal. Question is now what? My current O.D. is sphere -4.50, Cylinder +0.75, axis...

Frt sight focus issue or slow speed
For the last couple of practices when shooting my Izzy 46, I have noticed a few times that I could actually see the pellet going downrange to the target. The shot is not wild/low or anything. Might I be focusing on/off/beyond the front sight improperly or might I be having some fps speed issues? I c...

Anyone use or have opinion on this PCP hand pump
Though I have not gone PCP yet, I would be more inclined to if I did not have the additional $$$ of a tank and refills, special adapters and have to lug the tank around. So a hand pump option is a little more attractive. Most I have seen on various sites cost almost as much and a spare AP cylinder i...

Re: A National Match Discussion
I guess the rifle equipment race has ended (for the time being). Now it is a race regarding the use of E targets. Who has the best e targets, targets facing the "right way", easiest target change over and on and on. Cant wait till a big e target match, a transformer blows or lightning stri...

Re: Camera spotter to phone app
This post might help with some info. I think it is a great idea, but illegal in ISSF shooting, Maybe others too. Also camera functions do switch off over time so you would have to keep touching your phone screen to view target. The debate got a little word splitting and what the meaning of is..is. h...

Re: Compressor specs for PCP filling
So what your all saying is that i need to consult with a scuba shop equipment supplier of the correct type/power/strength/filtered air it I wish to procure one for filling PCP cylinders. My boss has pretty much left it up to me to decide to the type to get. I many elect to run air lines throughout t...

Re: USA Shooting Statement on ISSF Changes

USA Shooting remains committed to its mission of winning Olympic and Paralympic medals and will work diligently to prepare our at...

Compressor specs for PCP filling
Am AGAIN considering taking the plunge into getting a PCP AP. The driving force is that my boss wants me to get a air compressor of the business and well I just though that hmm well why dont I kill 2 birds with 1 pellet. He is ok with one of the compressors on wheels so it can be mobile. So can anyo...

/Women will have to EARN medals just like the men do .. via performance..either in an event of their own or shoulder to shoulder with the men. Disgusting.

Re: NRA writing off competitive shooters
The slippery slope has been proven time and time again. I only suggest that in places like New York State, it is far more likely that a cooperative effort to legalise competition weapons starts moving the other way than wagging a battle for a complete repeal. Hearts and minds won over, then a compl...
