This is exactly like the first step on the USMC marksmanship train8ng manual. Live .22 cal. fire at a blank target at 25 yards, ten shots. You pass the step only after producing two consecutive 10-round groups of no greater than 5 1/4” diameter. Groups must also be “round”, not strung out / elongate...

Watch the rear sight movement as you turn the screw / adjustment. If the rear sight moves to the RIGHT then it will move the bullet impact to the right. If each click of adjustment is so small as to be hard to see the movement of the rear sight, start counting clicks until it’s obvious which way tha...

Largely your fault. And I don’t even know you other than your posts here. So was the LP5.

So Bobwire sold his 100 to me and I got it. I’m not any kind of shot but am learning and I try. Setting aside firearms this is my third SSP joining a Daisy 747 and IZH 46M, as well as. Steyr LP5. Basically I’m fascinated by good mechanical objects. The FWB showed up and I can’t hit my garage while s...

Awesome. Pilkguns.

Some bullet weights and bass hooks, or other terminal tackle, to toss your your coat pocket or glove box. Flies for flyfishing, with a vinyl refrigerator magnet (our plumber gives them to us) trimmed to fit inside. Flyfishing leaders. Small spare parts. Epoxy mixing. Doobies / reefers if you’re into...

Joe, thank you for the contact and match info. Hope to see / meet you at a match. Rod

Jimmy, sorry your time in Houston did not coincide with our match. Weather was cool with no wind and 13 shooters, with quite a number from out-of-town. We shoot an "outside" 2700 on the 4th Sunday of each month starting at 9:00 AM with the gates opening at 8. See you next time you are in ...

Great choice. Pick the one that you think you like AT THIS POINT and start shooting. Hope the OP enjoyed the match and learned a lot.

Depends, for me, on the range. My private club range, I will wave and say hello and judge whether the person seems open to introducing him or her self. I’m focused on my own shooting, but being a club, I do make a point to walk over and simply say “hello, I’m Rod, nice to meet you” and extend my han...

Austin Rifle Club shoots airgun indoors on Thursday evenings. It's not public; you have to join the club. They have a large outdoor facility also near Manor, TX. https://austinrifleclub.org/ Dr. Don, I don’t see the airgun shoots on the club calendar. Do you have a contact for it? To the OP, other ...

For what it’s worth, if you’re considering a S&W 41, you might take a look at a used High Standard Victor for at least equivalent accuracy, trigger and function for a lot less money. In my experience, better than a 41 in each area. $600 for one in very good / excellent condition shouldn’t be dif...

......Like a quiet empty indoor range, a few decent targets, or a full tank of heating oil (it was 15F here in Cow Hampshire this morning). Hope everyone has a safe and happy Christmas ! http://www.jimpoulette.com/23Dec2021.jpg You got that right. Especially the heating oil in that neck of the wood...

I asked them about providing parts and service for my Hamden Victor and they said they can and will. Bob Interarms can, will, does provide parts and service. I’ve bought springs and magazines for a Hamden Citation 106 and an East Hartford Victor. And they do service, repairs and have other parts fo...

Hi Docderm, some of the back and forth on this, in my view, has to do with why you are crimping, which type and amount, and the load characteristics. In my mind, taper crimps or simply case mouth reforming (straightening and removing the bell) are for cartridges that rely largely on the case mouth f...

Yeah, but they have beer at the bowling alley! Damn right they do! And there in lies the beauty of bowling, negated only by the fact that wearing bowling shoes is a dead giveaway that you are likely packing a concealed bowling ball. (Sadly Pearl is no longer brewed from the artesian waters of the c...

The gentleman next to me was shooting at what appeared to be 5 yards with a green laser. It was all I could do to keep from offering some advice. It would have been rude and I’m a novice. . . . and he was armed and possibly unstable . . . . . . but with 18" groups at point blank range, who car...

Well, you've already met some "fun folks" here.

Why do I want to reply with “de gustibus…”? (joking!)

If you are interested in hitting your target, you might attend (free!) a Bullseye match to see what's going on. If you want to experience the truly accuracy crazed, have a look at an Air or Free Pistol match. Free advice abounds at these events. This advice is totally free??? ;-) To the OP, toward ...

+1 to all of the above responses, but I’ll add one comment. Given the 40 S&W and the two handed shooting sounds like you are either practicing defensive shooting, or some simulation active sport. What I learned from a number of short classes and instruction is that it is a bad idea to practice a...
