Re: Question for the Coaches

Thanks for the replies, everybody. I'll do my best to stay humble and willing to learn. Since I've never had formal training in this discipline, I'm looking forward to time with a coach who is knowledgeable in the new sport. And of course, there are several people, regardless of gender, that I'd hap...

Question for the Coaches

I plan on trying a new discipline this fall and have the opportunity to train with a coach who's resume of accomplishments is as long as his arm. Over the last several years in trying to improve my marksmanship, my training has been based on books and YouTube videos. Because I've never worked direct...

Re: Anschutz 1413 Super Match Stock *New Price*

The 1913 has a model 5018 trigger, and will require 30 seconds of time with a dremel to remove some wood where the trigger screws onto the action. Super easy

Re: Anschutz 1413 Super Match Stock *New Price*

It was glass bedded for the 1400 series single shot match actions. Although only the most minor of inletting is required to allow the 5018 trigger of the 1900 series. (If this doesn’t sell soon, this is my plan)

Re: Ways of the Rifle, out of circulation, "Rifle Training"

The updated book for Ways is titled Olympic Rifle Shooting and is currently only available in German language. Although I haven't seen this book, it will likely have updated photography, better graphics, and QR links to topic-specific YouTube videos. Both Air Rifle: Training and Competition and Rifl...

Selling this really nice Anschutz 1413 Super Match stock. Comes with additional bag-rider butt plate. Hook is included.

WTB- Anschutz 1413 Trigger Guard

Does anyone have a spare 1413 stock that is collecting dust? If so, I would like to inquire about purchasing your trigger guard. Other stock models may share the same trigger guard, but unfortunately none with a sloped fore end will work (1907, 1903, etc.) Only flat fore ends with thumbholes. Thanks...

Re: Prone training with a 10 m rifle.

Do it all the time! Of course the rifles fit and function are somewhat different, but hammering the fundamentals is always time well spent.

If using a different rifle is a concern, a SCATT MX-W2 is worth every penny. Train at 15 feet from the device with confidence.

Enjoy!

Youth/kids air rifle team

Recently my almost 9 year old son has expressed interest in shooting his air rifle with other kids his age in a semi-formal environment. Does anyone have information on such a program in Washington state? Or possibly contact info that could lead us in the right direction? Thank you for viewing, Ben ...

Re: Blackhole app

Does anyone know how to scan multiple targets with single holes, and display the total score and shot plots on the same image? Kind of like an A-5 air rifle target display with 10 blue dots?

Re: KK500 storage length

PERFECT!!! Thank you so much! The rifle case in question has an interior dimension of 44" wide (not quite wide enough for my pride and joy). However the Cabela's hard rifle cases with yellow buckles are as sturdy and robust as competitive models. I would highly recommend if it fits.

KK500 storage length

Hi all! I'm currently on vacation and saw a nice rifle case that would be perfect for transporting my KK500. Without access to my rifle, what is the length of a KK500 from end of the attached barrel extension to the end of the aluminum chassis where the buttplate carrier would be inserted? (I travel...

Approach to target

What are some things that a person can do to slow their downward approach to the target in the standing position? I have spend a lot of time perfecting my position, and when pre-sighting over the sights my NPA appears great. Then, when lowering my head down into the sights I begin my approach to the...

Re: SCATT distance

I use my scatt mx-2 at 4.5 m at home. I train 10 m air & 50 smallbore. What I have found is that it is important when calibrating the unit that the target is the correct size relative to the actual distance to target. Also, the numbers on the focus dial of the SCATT unit are not exact reference...

Re: Grant Funding for 2021?

To add to the misery of our denied grant application request, our Washington state rep is not returning phone calls, and nobody at NRA Foundation HQ is picking up the phone or returning calls either. This really stinks because many teams depend on grant funding to operate. NSSF told us last summer t...

Re: Grant Funding for 2021?

Just received word that our NRA Foundation grant requests will not be funded this year. Also talked to other coaches in our area who received the same news.

Has anyone here submitted NRA Foundation grant requests that were funded?

Re: Grant Funding for 2021?

Things are going to be tight this year, no matter how we look at it. Very few NRA Foundation fundraisers happened last year, which has a direct negative impact on their ability to contribute to programs. As far as our MidwayUSA Foundation endowment, the BOD at our club elected to roll over their gra...
