Doug,

Nice set of toys there! Is that your own barrel on the Anschutz or a stock one? What action is it?

I am in the market for a new rifle, but man, the price is pretty steep. Might have to sell my house just to afford it...

To Dude: I actually just read the thread you mentioned. Gary's email mentioned "KT and one Asian Manufacturer." I agree, without a picture put out by ISSF, it's hard to see or envision just exactly what they are allowing vs. deeming illegal. I'm in the market for a new jacket, and am a lit...

http://www.intershoot.co.uk/acatalog/Stands.html Give these guys a try. I agree they are plenty spendy, but kind of like a pair of boots - you get what you pay for. Use it everyday and for years unend, it will pay for itself. Look for those that have a nice "ease-of-use" such as those that...

Everyone has their own shot routine, and everyone has little quirks that work for them. I personally like to do two checks on NPA in offhand. The first is over the sights, the second is once I am on the rifle looking through the sites, and then I proceed to relax through my breathing and break the s...

Re: Recoil in prone

"I check my NPA and is completely relaxed and when I shoot the recoil goes straight up and goes straight down but it stops a little above where I was aiming before the shoot." Bear with me thinking out-loud here - am I understanding this correct, your missed shots are falling low, but your...

You can "lean" your support arm over to meet your other hand, but in essence you are still losing position. One thought for you to ponder... 1) Is it better to lift your trigger elbow, or take the butt plate away from your shoulder? Which is easier for you to repeat every shot? For some it...

Try dry firing at home or just get in position once a week in the off season. I used to shoot at the collegiate level and the off season was a killer. I had an old experienced shooter teach me hold drills and a few "tricks of the trade." Every day in the morning after his coffee he would d...

[quote="WarWagon"]Is your grip tight based on how tight you squeeze it, or is it mandatory based on your length of pull? If the latter, you may want to try shortening the LOP a bit. Also, be sure to check your trigger alignment. A finger that starts to curl over the trigger or is pulling a...

I see my reply is a bit dated... If you are still following this thread give this a try Couple of things I saw: 1) Try lowering your bent leg a bit, while a bent leg is a positive, you want your hips and chest to be as flat to the ground as possible. The bent leg simply relieves some pressure on you...
