Skanaker Competition Training Method

In the 2016 re-issue of Ragnar's book, there's a table on page 155 that appears to represent a stepped-level of difficulty in several areas. For example, # of shots to get an X, # of 10's in 10 shots, etc. There's no explanation of how to apply these levels. Are you supposed to grade all of the elem...

John,

I size my pellets using a Nygord sizer. It significantly tightens groups for me. The only way you'll determine if it's worth your time is to test your pistol and pellets sized and unsized.

J.P. O'Connor Articles

I've been reading the "On The Firing Line" article series in USA Shooting by J.P. O'Connor. I'm missing articles 26 through 32 in the series. I'm looking for help in obtaining those articles. J.P. O'Connor's website seems quite old, and the links to the articles on our host's website and t...

Look in Shooting Sports USA or on the NRA website. You'll see that the State Championships and Regional will be held at the Tuscaloosa Gun Club - not far from Birmingham. Give Jim Collins a call for more details.

Positive USA Shooting Experience

To provide some balance to the recent USA Shooting bashing, let me relate a positive experience. I had previously requested a refund of a match fee. When the credit didn't appear on my bill, I called and spoke to Jodi Gilpatrick. She asked me to send her an email, and within the hour I had a respons...

NRA Ruling Affecting Teams

I recently brought a State Association team to an NRA Sectional. Following the match, we were informed that we were disqualified. Rule 2.11 defines club teams. Rule 2.12, State Associations, has a note that states "Teams representing State Associations, Leagues, and other associations (composed...

USAMU Pistol Camp

Just returned from a 4-day training camp with the Advanced Marksmanship Unit at Fort Benning. This camp was publicized by USA Shooting on their website and via email. While it was somewhat short advance notice, we had a decent turnout. What would you pay for 4 days working one-on-one with the Army c...

Re: Help with USAS Article

I need to append my earlier post. USAS did indeed come through for me. Najasila Campbell, the new marketing director, obtained another copy of the magazine from her publisher and mailed it to me. She really went beyond her normal duties to help me out.

FP Grip Recommendations

I need to buy a set of RH grips for a Hammerli 150. I'm aware of the Morini and Rink models. Can anybody offer an opinion or recommendation on these or other models?
