Brooksharris:
Make sure that the left elbow is under the rifle, or an inch maximum to the left. Send us some photos to see your prone position.

What is your opinion to shoot with closed eyes? I made some experience with AR, and also with prone (I think that standing with small bore it’s some dangerous, kneeling must be very interesting, but I’m not try yet). It helped to find my position, but I don't know if my method is correct. I shoot ab...

7.4.9.6.2 (ISSF rule) The glove must not extend more than 50 mm above the wrist measured from the center of the wrist knuckle (Shooting Gloves). Any strap or other closure device at the wrist is prohibited. However, a portion of the wrist may be elasticated to enable the glove to be put on, but it m...

Martin H 's explanation is exact. The wet mirage has a similar effect to the fog. The difference is that it is more intense near the floor. It takes place in very humid days, in the morning, if the sun leaves the clouds and shine. A soft wind eliminates it. The form of combatting is: to lift the pos...

Thank you Juan Carlos:
I understand all you say. My english is very poor. Sometimes I use a translator program for write in this forum.
Un abrazo grande

Thank you to all for your comments. I don't have access to a torque wrench. Is it valid to prove with a 9X telescope and with a frontrest torque?

I have two doubts: I use a polarisation filter in my rear sight. The Anschütz catalog says that the filter corrects the reverberation. I don't understand how do it. The variation of the grouping of shots depends on the torque setting? I don't know how test the good torque setting. I have a 1913 in a...

I think that the engineers are a global epidemics. I work in the port of Montevideo. We have only three 50 m shooting ranges equipped for ISSF. My club (Club Uruguayo de Tiro) had 8 50 m shooting lanes (10 25 m and 12 10 m) near the Estadio Centenario (where the first world championship of soccer wa...

Juan Carlos: I shot 576 in prone (MQS list). It´s my first World Cup with 45 years old (a dream come true). Thank you for the recommendations with the mirage. Albert: If was easy it would not be amusing. Probably the particular conditions of your stand make very difficult to choose the predominant f...

Juan Carlos: In my country we competed at nine in the morning and we don't suffer the consequences of the mirage. For that reason I don't have experience with the mirage. I suffered it in the world cup in Resende Brazil (11:00 h, 35°C a lot of humidity). The USA team used telescope to detect it, and...

When the wind is whirled it is convenient to take care of the windflags of 10 meters and to neglect those of 30 meters. When the wind change between 12 o´clock and 2 o´clock, the impact point varies a lot (9 or 8 at 5 o'clock at the 9 at 9 o'clock). That would explain the low and left flyers. The ot...

To reduce the effect of recoil the most convenient it is to lower the center of gravity (it reduces the momentum). That is achieved: 1) putting weights above the axis barrel 2) putting the buttplate in a high position 3) choosing a stock that places the left hand near of the axis barrel I don't agre...

Obtain your NPA in the center of all the targets. Always shoot with the same quantity of air in the lungs. To correct horizontally, prove to advance or to retard the right elbow. To correct vertically, prove to bring near or far the right elbow with regard to the body. It is the quickest and simpler...

Let us make the following survey:
Percentage of time or quantity of shots per year (i.e. 2005) in each discipline (training + match)
Air Rifle 40% 3500 shots
Smallbore
Prone 30% 2500
Standing 20% 1000
Kneeling 10% 500

Hongirana: I don't agree with pdeal. Neither I agree with the Anschutz catalogue that uses the polarization filter to eliminate the effect of the reverberation. The use of the polarization filter as sunglasses, is the poorest form of using it. It is preferable to use the grey filters for it. The pol...

The suspenders are more comfortable in kneeling position.

You must read L. Bassham. You must exercise your self-image to get used to make 96 or more (especially more than in the trainings). Today you only trains the subconcious mind, creating conditioned reflections. And that is not enough. You must think like a winner, to imagine like a winner and to be a...

Jose:
Some bullets come with excess of lubricant that dirties the chamber of the rifle. Obviously I speak of bullets of training, excluding Lapua, Eley or R50 i.e.

What do you think regarding degreasing the bullets with a tissue before using them?
