I would encourage you to compete in one of the monthly matches (PTO) just to get a feel for the range, format etc. we typically shoot air rifle in the morning and smallbore in the afternoon. Also if your interested in observing, the U.S. Smallbore selection match is the first week in January, I thin...

There's the Anschutz/Walther/FWB (much akin to Ford/Chevy/Dodge) fanaticism for you. They all make fine rifles for what your trying to achieve. An alternate option if your thinking weight reduction is to buy a stainless steel Lilja barrel in a shorter length fit to the action and stock of your choice.

Theres lots of good information and discussion from the past on this site for that same question for discovery in the search, also perhaps moving the post to the youth coaching forum we may get some of the other youth coaches to weigh in. It would help to know the level (and remember people here are...

I've had a similar conversation with others lately and I get the logic - shoot a similar stock/gun in air rifle and smallbore to mimic consistency. However, in my limited experience I prefer my junior shooters to use what is comfortable to them since smallbore 3P and air rifle both have their separa...

It sounds like you were pointed in the right direction. Here is a bullet list of answers (sorry if I miss 1 or 2) For Maine (Im assuming per your user location) the State Qualifier is: Capitol City Jr Rifle Club - Augusta ME - Julian Beale III bbbasket(at)roadrunner.com Air rifle January 3rd Smallbo...

Understood but that is generalization and assumptive. Where is it defined? I would say that I have a junior shooter that practices everyday with her jeans on under her shooting pants (shes shy and doesnt like dressing in front of others) and that it is part of her training clothes since she trains t...

Can jeans be worn under trousers legally in USA Shooting rules? I'm looking at: 7.5.7 Underclothing 7.5.7.1 Clothing worn under the shooting jacket must not be thicker than 2.5mm single thickness or 5mm double thickness. The same applies to all clothing worn under the trousers. 7.5.7.2 Only normal p...

If you want to purchase a Bleiker, that is certainly your choice. I think Long Rifles could build a very good custom target rifle to you specifications for a lot less than $9000 that will perform just as good as a Bleiker. Matter of perspective on what the expected performance outcome is I suppose?...

David,

Neal has some on order and he's about 6 months out. Lots of pieces to consider so PM me and I might be able to help you navigate a few of the questions he'll ask.

Does anyone have a good scatt file or video of the effects of pulse on a shooter? Im just curious as to what to look for in identification of a pulse related issue.

Right there with you....next thing they'll start having participation ribbons....

Can you elaborate a bit more on the question? After market adjustments? Physical adjustments?

Per the new 2015 calendar update - USAS has the Rifle Selection at the OTC January 5 - 11 with the spring selection at Ft. Benning March 29-April 3.

Was reading it this morning and had a similar thought. The only thing I can put my finger on is that the Pan Am games are in June, so thinking of possible selection, Air Rifle could have been Nationals at Ft. Benning and WAG? Smallbore could have been Nationals and January's smallbore selection? Sti...

I can't seem to find good information on this from Bleiker. Does anyone know what a base setup weight is for the Bleiker Challenger Metallic? I'm guessing 6kg-7kg since the lady is 5-6.5kg with the 22mm barrel.

Thanks!

It would be interesting to see some long term study but it seems that there is more than just coincidental tendency in not small bore but small/air involving offhand. Which if you think about it, long hours of training in standing leads to compression of the lower back which can develop long term ef...

Up front and honest, this is just an extension of a discussion I had and am interested in everyone's input, I most likely will ramble and stray in and out of topic. The discussion started as good youth coaches we drill into our athletes that score is irrelevant, compete with your self, and some days...

They let us buy them by lot previously but the problem is they sell a lot so you have to test fast. We tested the 4.49 and found a good lot, called back and they were completely sold out. I don't think they do a test batch like Larry does but it would be nice!

If you have an issue finding anything PM me, I have 4 different lots between 4.49 and 4.50 I could send you some but you'd have to share the results ;)

Sorry I assumed Rick was asking about the individual packaged pellets not the bulk practice ones.
