Re: Wtb a good budget starting 3p Smallbore rifle

At camp Perry this year there was a number of Remington 40x rifles at about the 800 price tag. Would be a bit more work getting comfortable compared to modern rifles but as J wrote there is a bit of adapting the marksman can do and the rifles are very accurate.

Re: Air Gun clubs/training in DFW area and how to get into the sport of competitive shooting

There are a lot of clubs in your area. I’m from San Antonio and we have a couple regulars coming down to shoot our events. Try searching Bullseye pistol, it won’t be air pistol, but you’ll find there are active clubs to shoot with get advise from and they can connect you with the lesser known clubs ...

Re: Locations to shoot Florida or South Carolina

Update: Instead of ones and twos, pleas help contribute to an all inclusive list of shooting ranges that offer Smallbore and Air Rifle shooting programs. This list won’t be governing body specific, I don’t mind if it’s NRA, CMP, or USA Shooting. If you offer a program that is open to the public or p...

Re: San Antonio, TX: Smallbore Competitions 2022 Schedule

I should add, We are planning to change some of the events to Mini Palma. Wayne Nunn is the Match Director, I am just a younger guy helping get the word out. Our Mini Palma should become a great skill builder training at 100 yards. If you do not have a rifle, send a message and there is a good chanc...

Re: Favorite Bullet

I do believe the rules have changed, the CMP does now allow 9mm 1911 as well as glocks and some other Springfield and S&W and others 6.2.3 a) U. S. Government or Colt M1911 Service Pistols or commercial versions of the same type (M1911). These pistols may be chambered for any cartridge with a bo...

I ordered some Berry 9mm 124g HBRN because they were a good price. Are the flat nose popular for target shooting? My en...

Re: FWB 2600 Universal Rear diopter "Click" values ......

I believe that my FWB 2602 "Similar" had a 12 click sight. but what i am about to recomend may be more helpful. I suggest that you get to a 100 yard range if available, shoot your rifle from a rest if you like and just sight in at 100 yards. once you have a solid zero, make a known adjustm...

Re: Anschutz versus FWB dovetail sizing help.

My advice, and what i have done for the last couple years is this: 1. Swap out the Bloop Tube for one with Anschutz size front bases: 2. Use Genuine Anschutz Sight's and Bases and you wont have a problem for the rest of your days. The front tube on the FWB is wider cant recall how much, so switching...
