how to shoot duel

1. Starting at the ready position, is it better to raise your arm slow and smooth to the target and fire, or try to get the gun up as fast as possible to have an extra half second to aim? 2. Since the precision and duel stages are two completely different targets, assuming you use a 6 oclock hold on...

where to find a scba adapter

I have a 4500 lb. scba tank and need an adapter to use with my hammerli ap40. I know I can fill without a regulator but I would prefer to get one as well.

Anyone know what I need or where to purchase?

Thanks

extended arm forced or relaxed

When I was was much younger I had a fair amount of natural ability but a shortage of money and knowledge of the finer points of shooting anstill manged to shoot high sharpshooter or low expert scores. Then followed 30 years of rifle shooting. Now I'm back to to pistols. (with more experience but som...

it's got the correct color cylinder for tight groups. everyone knows the pinker the better. (the touch of lavender helps velocity)

Re: and now testing loads for a B/E revolver

I took it back where I got it and had it sent to a gunsmith under warranty. So what I got back is; they reamed the forcing cone, straightened the yoke and timed it. They supplied test targets which showed two decent groups with Win 148 match, two good groups and one great group with Federal 148's. A...

Re: and now testing loads for a B/E revolver

I took the gun back to where I bought it and they sent it to their smith. If they don't find the problem and correct it I will ask for my money back. I'll post the results when I get it back.

Re: and now testing loads for a B/E revolver

I found some Win 148 hbwc match loads and a pound of WST. At 25 yds off the bags the factory ammo shot into 1.2 inch including the called bad shot. so the gun is capable with at least one load. But results with 148 dewc and 158 swc and WST are still bad. I'm going to try a more comprehensive test in...

you guys cost me money.

I decided to go with Missouri Bullets, ordering 148's and 156's and as long as I was at it, order a couple different for the .45.

I have plenty of Clays, but don't see and bullseye or 231 around here.
