i just took my frames with me to my optometrist and had them cut a lense to match my prescription last time i went....the look on their face was priceless when they tried to figure out what they were for. i just had them center the focal point in the center of the lense, so that way i could adjust i...

if im not mistaken, i believe just about every anodizer completely strips the aluminum down to bare metal.......this will take care of any coating applied from the factory... as for the fit.....i would be surprised if it effected anything......the anodized coating is only a few NANOmeters thick........

With my coach hat on I would again ask what's the point ? What information are you taking from the data and using to improve your shooting ? How are you modifying your training to get better ? A graph of scores going up looks nice, but what do you do when it starts dropping, as it surely will. And ...

i have a spread sheet i use to track my progress....

it maps the overall match/practice score, individual target score, indivdual target average.

i graph the overall match score, and then i graph the target averages

works pretty well for me, plus i have plenty of data for finding odd trends.

Boyds stocks are popular

Richards microfit has a good selection

Bell and calrson has some traditional "anschutz" style stocks

rifle center of gravity

im just wondering where the ideal center of gravity for a 3P rifle is..... as of right now....its seems to be a tad front heavy....with the COG ~5-6" in front of the trigger... for some reason i feel the COG should be right over the trigger...... i am contemplating drilling the butt stock and f...

I'm new here; Do you need to clean the barrel of a .177 pellet rifle?
i clean my personal air rifles every few thousand rounds......

however the ones we shoot in competition i dont believe have ever been cleaned....and they are still shooting just fine.

im just curious, by what standards is our anonymous friend shooting at where a 5 shot 0.25" group is " nothing special"......


i would like to thank all those who at least gave constructive criticism and to those who are mature enough to not overtly bash a fellow shooter.

You're putting the cart before the horse i must say this is one of the few things you can say to me that i would have actually taken offense to....... and just for you....just for you, i went out and shot this: http://i264.photobucket.com/al...

I wouldn't put too much stock in anything you've tested because your accuracy really sucks! i would just like to say, that with the recoil and the ungodly trigger pull, this gun is really difficult to shoot.... i know ideally there would be a one hole group, but the fact is that the scores for the ...
