Free pistol, 10 meter, or one of the "easy" disciplines? Does anyone have a measurable definition of a flyer? I know one when I shoot one (or two or three), but what might be a reasonable definition? I plot my free pistol targets and count anything that falls more than three standard devia...

I see a few more similarities: Both can be played well by most anyone at least some of the time, and into one's dotage. One need not be six foot nine, weigh 350 pounds, or run the mile in under four minutes. While we could get hurt playing against a professional boxer or football/basketball player; ...

Cheap Practice 22 Ammo

Both are standard velocity, that means 1,050 fps, or just a bit short of the speed of sound. Some people where I shoot find the...
