Hey what is up with the ear plugs? Are these guns loud enough to damage hearing or is it more for concentration?

OK back to more questions! What's a good score for off hand rifle? Like with the 12 target racetrack targets, what are "good shooters" getting in 10 shots? Not like world champion gold medal kinda stuff, just a real solid score in a local or state level competition. What's the type of scor...

So....how much do the shooting suits help when offhand? The shooting jacket helps (not as much as the pants), but neither is a replacement for a good stable position. The clothing helps in maintaining the position over a long series of shots. Even at the highest level, training without the clothing...

Joe, I was looking at the LG 400 Expert, but ended up buying a FWB 700. It should be here soon. I am looking to improve standing position scores. It is too hard for me to kneel. I am not sure if the shooting jacket comment was directed to me, but I did buy a chubby guy shooting coat from Champion C...

So....how much do the shooting suits help when offhand? Are you wrapped up like in a straightjacket and hitting 10's all day long or is it more for style?

Joe

I am the in process of being a PCP rifle, likely some Walther LP400 variant. Mike Which variants are you looking at? There's like a ton of different models and it's not clear what is different about them. It looks like the less expensive ones don't have the absorber system and then there are differ...

OK you guys are a wealth of info, thank you :) Can I go back to sights for a moment? With the higher end sights, can you move it one click either way and have it move the same amount as any other click? As in...with my daisy it seems like I have to turn the knobs a few clicks to get it to move when ...

Do people every run a tighter/smaller iris for bench rest? It seems like you could go for that nice "lunar eclipse" sign and, boom!, another 10! But yeah, for off hand I prefer a larger one for sure.

Joe

Well all of that makes perfect sense, thanks for the info :) I can see how a variable iris at the front would be handy. In our group we're shooting at the regular, tiny little targets for bench rest but using the larger pistol targets for off hand (sorry I don't know the technical terms for these ta...

Hi Guys, Just started 10m airgun shooting this summer. I'm lucky to have local competition every week and have done 1/2 a dozen so far, both off hand rifle and bench rest rifle. I'm using a stock daisy 853 and I found it is working better with the lighter pistol pellets vs. the heavies. OK so when l...
