Front Sight Hand Tightened Screws

Hello,

I have been watching some recent ISSF Smallbore matches and have seen that shooters are using screws on their front sights that can be hand tightened and loosened to easily change the front sight. I am curious if anyone has some information on these screws or mounts?

Thank you!

2 gloves for 3P - ISSF Rules

I read through the ISSF Rules but did not see it but just wanted to verify.

Are you allowed to use 2 different shooting gloves in the 3 Position - 50M Rifle event? Ex. A glove for prone and kneeling and a separate glove for standing?

Thank you.

Re: Nerves, pulse etc in prone

I deal with something extremely similar as it feels like my heart is going to jump out of my body. This happens to me from my local club matches to nationals. What I have started doing it taking a few deep breaths to reset my mind and begin focusing on my shot process rather than the situation at ha...

Re: Floor Mat for Air Rifle Club Floor

I would like to be in line with ISSF rules. As it stands right now the room is a club meeting area with tile. My thought would be to roll out a strip across the firing points that would equalize the playing field for all shooters. I see in the rules that a substance cannot be placed to give someone ...

Floor Mat for Air Rifle Club Floor

At our club, we have an air rifle range set up in our clubhouse. The floor is tile and our shooting boots slide quite a bit when practicing. I was thinking about getting a thin rubber mat to roll out during our practices in order to prevent slipping. Does anyone do this or have any recommendations f...

Re: Flying with your Precision Rifles?

I have flown quite a few times with my smallbore rifle and service rifle. I know other people will have their advice but my experience has been really good overall with flying. The TSA procedures actually seem to be extremely airport specific. I would fly out of Indianapolis for example, there I wou...

Rifle Cradle for Offhand Stand

Does any company make a cradle to hold your rifle on the stand? I have seen them and used them before but don't remember any brands. I have a champions choice offhand stand.

Removing Gehmann Adjustable Front Iris

I purchased an Anschutz Front Sight on another forum and it came with a Gehmann 18mm Front Iris w/ Horiz. Bar (2.4-4.4mm).

I would like to put with iris on another front sight that I have but do not know the proper way to remove it. Your advice is appreciated!

Thank you.

Target height for scatt -smallbore

I am working with a new scatt setup scatt and was curious about how high the target should be in each position (especially prone) to be accurate for 50 meter smallbore.

Thank you!

Re: Rifle sighting question

Thanks guys! I have an extra 4mm block that I will put under the front sight. I think that will help with my issue.

Rifle sighting question

I have Anschutz 7020 sights. I put on a new tube and resighted my rifle. My group was quite high. 5 Inches or so above the bull at 50 meters. I clicked my sights down quite a bit to get to the center of the bull but I have found that my sights do not have much room left to go down much further. Do I...

Re: Do I have to keep my tuner on?

My tuner does not have a second collar but I could place a peg on my barrel. The tube is fixed to the tuner.
