My Junior team has an Anschutz Achiever that is slam firing (hammer is dropping if too aggressive pushing the bolt into position/down.). I want to connect with a gunsmith that could look at and possible fix the slam fire issue. Anyone know of or on this forum that will be there that could look at it...

Regarding the wrist worn device rule. The rule states first: "Mobile phones or other hand-held communication devices" The key point here is hand held communication devices... "may not be used" Then gives examples of the types of devices... "(i.e. tablets, etc.), electronic d...

I have not paid attention to Smallbore for nearly two decades, and I’m super surprised to learn about how the sport has changed. I started shooting smallbore in 1977 as a teenager. I attended the 1978 and 1980 National Matches, and did a clinic at the OTC in 1979 IIRC there were over 500 competitor...

I don't think USA Shooting maintains its own rules anymore. They only apply the issf rules.

Just exchange spacers and screws when you change positions.

I thought the minimum were 5 participants in each gender/discipline to qualify for gold.

Go buy a lefty jacket, glove and sling if you can afford it. Maybe $200-$250 total. Then donate it back to the club. That's how most clubs get their equipment over time.

See if you can design a spacer from wood to extend the butt plate of the rifle.

I put together this powerpoint for the parents on my team to understand the options available for upgrading equipment. May be of some use here.

Thank you!

I need to know the correct height I should adjust my targets for the kneeling and prone positions at 50 feet.

New more modern material is available but more expensive than the canvas/Leather options. I have a Capapie suit and absolutely love it. I got lucky and bought a well fitting 'off the shelf' jacket and pants when they were introduced in the US when I was at Camp Perry. It stays stiffer longer and if ...

He made a 3d printed grip for my free pistol. Does good work.

I also made a 3d print of an anschutz cheekpeice with a file from thingverse.

Sometimes it's better to say nothing at all if you can't say something nice.

Midway limits the amount you can withdraw each year. But if you have access to a large starting amount it's a great idea.

If I'm reading the chart correctly, the numbers are the minimum not the optimum, ie you may need a larger size. Correct! I keep the size chart handy for my junior rifle team. Easy rule of thumb if you are measuring in inches: The distance from front sight to the eye (not rear sight) roughly corresp...

If so, please have him/her visit me at the Walther booth and I can help with buttplate adjustment and fit.

No but thanks she won't be there.

Someone posted an Anschutz Achiever in the for sale section of this forum.

I have been dealing with the Walther KK500. Nice weight and balance. But I am not thrilled with the adjustability of the butt-plate. The hook doesn't swivel independent of the lowwer section of the three peice butt plate. Having difficulty getting the butt plate to fit my junior's shoulder properly....
