Hi everyone I am new to bullseye and just doing the startup reasearch. I was wondering does anyone shoot the beretta neos for the .22 phase, I have had a neos before and the even come with the rail to mount the red dot. The other choice would be the Ruger Mark III. ... thanks George Hi George The R...

Hi Well, yes the 1911 rules the line, but think about it. 1. The 1911 was first built in 1911, it's older than the other steel frame semi-automatics which is a huge advantage. Gunsmiths have had 100 years to work on them... 2. The 1911 is a good (not necessarily great, or optimal) platform from whic...

Fury Weilers brings up many very valid points. I will distill some of his points: Consider that very few people make a living as a shooter. The only ones I can think of off the top of my head are members of the USAMU and I guess there are some shotgun disciplines where you can make a living at it. ...

Georgia 4-H shoots international Air Pistol only. No one else uses the national 4-H formula but there are many matches, including Progressive Pistol, using the standard ISSF format. Our state only changed the number of shots, 40 for girls and boys instead of 60 for boys and 40 for girls. Why buy mu...

Hi We're using the Tau-7's, which is a good thing / bad thing. The Tau's have a good trigger, are CO2, and can be filled using the large reservoir, they're also light enough for smaller kids to use. The bad part is that since they're neither made nor imported by Daisy, they're Open class pistols, no...

Some other stupid ideas that politicians have come up with: 1. Serialized ammo. The ammo was supposed to be micro-etched with a serial number so that it could be traced. What about hand loading and casting your own bullets? Easy enough that it would create a black market. Hi This stupid idea wasn't...

Hi Hemmers

You can't legislate Brains or Common Sense, most governments have tried unsuccessfully.

Hi I note that you're in Illinois. Illinois 4H just started shooting in 2009, you might check with the County Extension office. Don't admit you have a BB Gun, or range in your basement. Even in Kansas, BB-guns and air rifles aren't universally legal. We asked the city of Belaire KS (Wichita Suburb) ...

Here's a old site by Bob Marvel -"Functioning Factors" for the Marvel 1911 - .22 Conversion Units. http://marinedsa.com/Pistol%20Information/Marvel%20Functioning.pdf The way I adjusted my steel mags was to duplicate the one that worked the best but I remember the dimensions were in line w...

Hi I'm amazed that the cheerleaders and female athletes aren't fighting this. Cheer-leading is less of a sport, and more of a performance (like dance, art, band, etc). Mainly, this LOSES the women a "real" sport like lacross, or shooting. I mean really, what basketball or football school i...

Hi, color me stupid, but what's block time?

That being said, all of our coaches (and we have had about 10 over the years) haven't found the CMP rules all that tough to understand and follow...

Hi

Ruger just started making a .22/45 (1911 grip angle) with wood grips. That would be a good starter.

...In any case, if there is a good BB program, by all means take advantage of it .... rifles are lighter, they are cheaper, and ammo is plentiful. Joel Hi Kansas seems to be the BB Gun Capitol of the free world. BB Gun was the reason that Kansas 4H started requiring a minimum score to go to the sta...

Does anyone know who currently makes the lightest weight gun box for bullseye pistol shooting? The smallest Strong case which Champion Choice sells is 12 lbs. Does anyone know what the case Larry Carter sells, weighs? Maybe there is something else out there that is lighter. Hi The small Strong box ...

Thanks, now they will use that picture in the rule book. I'm too old to wear mouse ears.

Hi

That's what we were taught in Rifle Coach class. I do the same thing in Pistol (when I remember).

Hi If you want to get off Caffiene, they you need to do it for the season, not for the day of a match. If you haven't had caffiene withdrawl, you haven't truly lived. Cotton mouth, headache, and you really want everyone around you dead. I suggest that you keep eating your NORMAL diet, but start eati...

Oh, Oh, to tie in a separate thread. How about we'll give up the leather pants, if we get the chin stocks and blue jeans back?

... As to back support issues, perhaps we should look to those who tried back supports for their employees (United Parcel Service) only to discontiiue use of them when back injury rates increased. seems the drivers got so used to the support belts that they began having more off-duty back injuries ...
