Re: What is SASP?

Hi AG, In regards to negative connotations, yes NRA is known, so I'll leave that one alone. I am huge supporter of the CMP and I am the state director for Tennessee, but CMP is not without its own baggage. They've cleaned a lot of that up but past board members of the CMP were also cut from the same...

Re: What would happen to air rifle without special clothes?

One could equate 10m air rifle to drag racing. If your goal isn't to win, then you have no reason to complain about those who do want to win and will do whatever is necessary to win within the rule book. Sporter class air rifle could be equated to factory class stock car and Elite level Olympic leve...

Sport Pistol at 50’. Targets?

I have a new junior shooter who wants to start ISSF 25m sport pistol with the .22. We only have a 50’ indoor range. Is there a reduced version of the B17 target?
Or, should I simply have her shoot the B17 and based on shots close to the center evaluate her hit/miss percentage.

Thanks
Mike

Re: Kowa TSN-1 a good spotting scope for smallbore outdoor prone?

Bird watchers are probably the most meticulous scope critics. Find some of their more popular forums and see what opinions they have. They may also have some buy, sell trade options where a good deal could be found. On another note: Light gathering ability is usually the benchmark for spotting scope...

Hotel lodging within 30 minutes of the range is over $150 a night. The only affordable lodging is the barracks, of which I've s...
