Golfshot, I read the rule on electronic devices you provided and it reads “may not be used by athletes on the firing line.” It does not say ‘may not be worn.”

Palmetto State Marksmen Association is a CMP and NRA Club. This will be our fifth year running the Summer Camp at the Belton Gun Club. Monday through Friday, 17-21JUN.

From what I have seen, getting German products has been more difficult for everyone and everything goes through customs, even air shipments.

Today I got my FWB Air Cylinder ordered last fall from CC

Paul, I am sitting here with four plugs I purchased from The Greyhound. Looking at the business end of the plug with a magnifying glass you can see that the edge is parallel to the axis of the plug. It is not rounded. I scored a match on USA-50 targets last weekend and I find them easier to use than...

Received my new scoring plug(s) from The Greyhound today and could not be happier. Easier to handle as the handle end is thicker and easier to read on the target. They are worth every penny!

Jamie, Will you be shooting at Camp Perry in July? I would like 4 of the USA50 plugs. Unfortunately I do not use any of those new-fangled E-lectronic money gizmos mentioned that you crazy kids are using nowadays. I still have two metal ones that Mr. Ernest sold me years ago but they are easy to lose...

Not concerned until tanks start rolling across the border.

+1 on “Ways of the Rifle 2009.” I do not have the earlier version but am led to believe this version is much more detailed. VERY detailed!

I used to partner with another NRA Rifle Instructor who was conducting 9-week Basic Rifle courses for Juniors. I ran the range and scooped up Juniors that were interested in the NRA Marksmanship Qualification Program. Now I am recruiting from the Gun Club to which I belong. It is tough finding any p...

I read a year or two ago that Anschutz was no longer recommending 6nm on metal and 5nm on wood stocks.

Reach torque value first on the screw closest to the recoil lug or other protrusion positioning the barreled action in the stock, imho

Funny; I consider everyone who is satisfied with a “minute of man” sized group as part of the spray and pray crowd. Ranges that cater to that crowd are apparently followers of capitalism. 6string is correct that we are to blame. We let the anti-gun legislators and parents remove Smallbore programs f...

I just read the post in the Youth Shooting section of TT in which a "highschooler" was asking about places to compete or practice. My first thought was of the banners on websites (i.e. Civilian Marksmanship Program etc.) that warn of California's law prohibiting the "marketing of fire...

If you buy any of the latest yellow “Hilman” 4-6-8x7/8 wall anchors you will probably be disappointed. The rims are smaller in diameter and thickness now and do not protect or eject like the old ones. I found a new supplier with drywall anchors that do work. Southern Fasteners and Supply, LLC. south...

It takes a lifetime to try and figure out the fickle wind. You must pick out the flag on the range which is giving you the best indications of what the wind is doing to your bullet given the results on your target. Buy some books on reading the wind. Nancy Tompkins book “Prone and Long Range Rifle S...

You misunderstood, my friend. I suggested watching the bullet trace in enough wind so that you could see where the most deflection occurred. Wind causes issues at all yard lines. I think that if I watch the flags downrange and you watch the close ones we’ll have it covered, right? Good luck and grea...

If you want to make sense out of the debate on whether wind close to the shooter or farther downrange affects the projectile more, consider the following to make your own conclusion. From listening to the expert ballisticians, the ballistic coefficient (BC) of a projectile gets lower as the velocity...
