Bolt-Actions are the dominant action in the sporting industry today, you can certainly find them almost anywhere. Toggle-Actions are faster to work than the conventional bolt-actions. Fortner actions are similar to the Toggle-action in function. http://qz.com/54254/this-german-invention-is-used-in-9...

Good information here. As suggested, turn one of the targets you are using around when it comes to live fire, might be surprised.

Any of the suggestions above are good ones.

Being on good relations with a reloader who makes their own bullets is good [ especially if you can shoot his/her guns/ammo ].

Given the [sometimes] shaky state of my shooting, I gave the technique a try (raising above, then setting back down) and found it worth continuing to try it while shooting.

"And put a strip of grip tape (skateboard type or stair tread tape from a hardware store) put it on front and back straps. Yes the back too. You can peel it off when you need to takedown the pistol. Buy extra tape." With regard to this, I found a roll of 3M "Ladder Tape" at Home ...

wattsnot, For a dedicated pistol range in the back yard, if you have the means of sun protection (like a tent), that would be a good idea. Patio chairs would be good, padded nicer, all depends upon what you already have or are willing to spend. Search out the local Salvation Army/Goodwill stores/fle...

Very nice ranges ya'll have.

Ya'll have some far more sophisticated setups than my "poor-man's" setup (which is a work in progress of upgrade). Here is my basement range. Now, I may just be in that "hobby shooter" class I've seen Russ mention here, but the way I see it, it's fun and shooting one-hand, bulley...
