Totally agree. An additional bonus of the smaller and lighter spotting scopes is that they are less likely to get bumped due to size and are less top heavy when they do get bumped so less likely to fall over, risking getting damaged themselves and damaging other gear/kids.

I think it focused down to about 15 feet at 10x magnification when I checked before. We have air rifle league tonight and I'll be using mine, so I'll try to remember to check it again. The scope focused most clearly down to just under 17 feet from the front of the scope to the wall that the test ta...

Jason, How is using the Celestron at 10m? According to the Amazon listing, it is a 25-75x zoom. I found my old 20x scope was almost too much magnification at 10m. The Champions Choice is a more reasonable 10-30x. I shoot both AP and AR, so obviously the larger AP target would want a larger field of...

We've had good luck with these little Celestron 52320 Landscout scopes. http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B73JXKC When I say little, I really do mean little (8.75" long) and very lightweight (14.2 ounces). From what I can tell, other than having the Celestron logo on the side they are ident...

My daughter is using an Anschutz 1807, and we are currently using a higher front base so that she can use her rear 8mm sight riser. She can't use the 8mm front sight riser due to the 1807 barrel not being grooved for it, and I'm worried about getting a sight extension tube that is made for a 1900 se...

Watched men's prone smallbore finals and air rifle finals. The last few shots of the air rifle finals were pretty epic also.

I am completely impressed with the Celestron Regal M2 80ED LER that I got a few weeks ago. It comes with a fixed 27X long eye relief (LER) eyepiece, a case that can be left on it during use, and ED glass. I've used it in a smallbore silhouette tournament (Conard Bernhardt Cup) and at the outdoor sma...

I prefer carbon fiber rods with ball bearings in the handle. The steel or aluminum rods can get bent slightly enough to be hard to detect with the eye without very close inspection and can rub the bore with steel. A carbon fiber rod is either straight or broken, and from my experience it generally t...

It's nice that someone else is asking this question and that there are some on here who also aren't aware of what that's form. I spent about an hour after I got my first sight like that trying to figure out what that was for, before I actually read about it and saw that it was only for symmetry in t...

I guess I differ in my opinion on this. I set my triggers so that there is no perceptible movement of the trigger blade upon the shot breaking. Once I settle against the second stage, I want the trigger to function like a pressure switch and not move. If there is pressure against the second stage an...

Thanks, Dude. I actually got great advice from Heather at 10pt9 and have the KT X.9 boots on the way.

I think my 14-year-old daughter's feet have finally stopped growing and I'm looking to buy her some shooting boots. To comply with the current ISSF rules but still give as much help as possible, I'm currently looking at the Sauer 3016 Perfect Flex or the Kurt Thune X.9 boots. They are close enough i...

Sightron SII Big Sky 6-24x42SIL, focuses down to 10 meters, .4 MOA dot reticle, glass at least as good as the Leupold and better than Weaver and similar mid-priced scopes. It also has a more reliable adjustment system than anything less than $1500 or so. Avoid the non-Big Sky SII models, as their gl...

Originally posted in Youth Shooting Programs forum, but didn't get answers so trying here... My daughters shoot in a local 4H junior shooting club in 4-position (once they progress that far) matches.

My daughters shoot in a local 4H junior shooting club in 4-position (eventually) matches. My younger daughter and a couple others in the club shoot Achievers or 1451s. They are accurate enough, but the triggers are pretty terrible compared to most of the other rifles being used. Does anyone have a t...

Norma Tac-22 for $5.40 per box of 50, so $540 per case plus shipping. It's RWS Target in a different box and shoots great for my two daughters out of their Achiever and 1903 rifles. One of the best things about it is that it's actually available at several places. https://www.midsouthshooterssupply....

Last time I talked to Neal he mentioned having them or being able to get them. I'd probably start with him.

I'm about to order some Vogel pellets and was wondering if anyone knows if the Merlin Match pellets by Vogel from CMP are the same quality/item as the 4.50mm Vogel match pellets from Champion's Choice or Pilkington. Does anyone know for sure? There's a fair amount of difference in price through the ...

If he's not shooting in ISSF competitions, can't he use one of the shooting jackets with adjustable straps with clips? That would be much easier and quicker to adjust to allow for weight fluctuation.
