18 minutes with SK Rifle Match (but our range is slightly uphill, and at 5200 feet).

If you shoot well in practice, and on your sighting bull, but have problems when going to the scoring bull, it is often a sign of a change in mental set. Practice and sighting is just the "usual", but you may then be changing your mental attitude to "this is for score, I m ust try har...

Before doing any cutting, try to find a borescope to check the interior of the barrel (and especially the area just ahead of the chamber). If it has been fired a lot, and no special attention paid to the chamber leade area, you may have a carbon ring there. It can be removed. I'd start with soaking ...

Check the rule book (mine is for 2013, but newer one is available). 6.4.14 Indoor Range Light Requirements (Lux) Indoor Range for General Targets Minimum Recommended Minimum Minimum Recommended Minimum 10m 300 500 1500 1800 10m RT 300 500 1000 1000 25m 300 500 1500 2500 50m 300 500 1500 3000 Finals ...

It is not a problem IF you get your cheek in the same position on the cheek-piece every time. Some shooters put tape, or moleskin, on the cheek-piece as a locating aid. I watched one US Olympic athlete actually sand out a small concave divot in the cheek-piece, so the cheek would rest in the same lo...

The 4.3 maximum size on the small range sights is about the minimum you should use for air rifle. Larger apertures actually give better results, especially in standing. A sight with adjustments from 3.0-5.0 would give you more options.

It is better to err on the larger opening, rather than smaller.

Here' an inexpensive one that will last awhile: https://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/Daisy_Match_Grade_Avanti_Sling_Nylon_32_Max_Length/3407 Skip a jacket for now, and just use a sweatshirt one or two sizes smaller than he usually wears (so it is tight). Put a safety pin on the sleeve below where the slin...

In International style shooting there is no X ring.

In NRA shooting there is no additional score, but the number of Xs is used to break ties (e.g. 396-30x beats 396-29x, but 396-29x beats 395-32x).

Over the years I've had best results, with rifle shooters, when they focused on the sight rather than the trigger Allowing the subconscious mind to activate the trigger when everything was ready. I feel that your focus on the trigger allows the subconscious to move your body when you decide to opera...

The older classifications you mention are NRA classes. They are still the same (but the cutoff numbers may have changed, and can be found in the NRA rules books (available online at http://rulebooks.nra.org/). The letter classes are USAShooting classes, again found in the rule book. (http://www.usas...

The more tint of the glasses, the more your eyes dilate. And the less depth of field you have. Clear lenses for safety are best. Colored lenses can help outdoors, due to varying lighting conditions. Indoors I feel they are just another money pit. Spend the money on more pellets, a good coach, or goo...

though I dont feel tired but the shoulder and wrist lock just is not there. You may not "feel" tired, but your body is telling you that certain muscles are tiring. Shooting is an endurance sport, so endurance training is needed. Not only specific muscles used to raise and hold the gun, bu...

Get medical advice somewhere other than a shooting forum.

The doc will probably tell you to rest it.

After that get a PT to advise you on correct strengthening exercises depending of if it is the arm, or shoulder, or both.

I will post pictures of my kneeling position

Please do. That will give much more info to work with.

Many gallery shooters (50 foot range) use 12-36 power scopes. Yes, it takes some getting used to not chasing the crosshair, but that is actually an advantage. If you do dry holding exercises (just holding and finding the proper NPA), at 9x, when you turn it down to 3x it'll seem very solid. We've us...

the more fit you are the better you shoot. All other things being equal, yes. As previously stated, light weight/ high rep training, BUT even more important is cardio-vascular training. Shooting is an "endurance" sport, so you need to be able to do many repetitions over long time frames.

An officer of the business (corp, association, LLC, etc) may sign the form as long as a statement, signed under penalty of perjury, is attached to the 4473. See the instructions for line 11A on the back of the form 4473.

That's about a 1 0unce difference at the lowest setting. I doubt most people can tell the difference.

If you do not have the passion, it cannot be instilled in you by someone else. You can find the duties of a coach in many places on-line. Following is one of them: "Athletic coaches instruct and work with athletes to prepare them for competition. Coaches help athletes to play their best individ...

We keep a 1/8" brazing rod in the vault at our club, just to take care of such stuck pellet problems.
