Maximum Padding

My brother and I have consistently used Kurt Thune Gloves. I have used a half finger solid. Likewise he has used a full finger top grip model, and has switched to a half finger combo model. Either model works well, however the newer models seem to lose some of the stitching quickly. However, they ar...

Correct Boots

Those are the boots I am referring too. I did not notice that the price went up by twenty dollars. I would recommend that you personally call and order from Monard, rather than order online.

Champion Shooters Boots

I would highly recommend that you do not purchase these brand of championshooter's boots. I own a pair, and they lasted me less than two years. The traction underneath did not exist, and was so poor that it slipped on any dirt or sand. Also, the brackets for the shoe laces are a pain to replace, and...

Hammerli AR-50

I have first hand experience with this problem. I purchased a Hammerli AR-50 in may of 2009. The previous owner had bought it used and had had a seal job done on the rifle. However, we soon discovered that the rifle's velocity was to low (around 460 feet per second), and had a tool made to adjust th...

Air Rifle to Purchase

I currently own a Hammerli AR-50, and unfortunately have a sad tail about it. It was purchased one year and four months ago. After attempts to change the velocity of the pellet towards a normal range, it was determined that something was wrong with the air rifle, as it would shoot one good shot when...

Need help finding glove for my trigger hand

Does anyone know where I could purchase a quality shooting glove for my trigger hand? I am a right handed shooter. I currently use a Monard trigger hand glove, but it is slightly big. Have not had any problems using it, but it has bunched up on me during matches and practices. I might just go to Spo...

I have been shooting 3-position and air rifle for nearly 4 years. I have a standard fit pair of leathers that fit very nicely, and a pair of boots. I can tell you that when I have practiced for extended periods of time without leathers, I have noticed extra strain on my back. Our rifles are too heav...

Hammerli AR-50

Thanks for the advice. Anyone who has had similar experiences or has any advice please post. This air rifle is too nice to sit on a shelf for a year.

Hammerli AR-50 with inconsistent velocity

Bought a Hammerli AR50 Alu-Pro from a guy who had purchased it with a seal problem. He claims to have had a seal job done. He had forgotten to bring the air adapter, and so I tested it with a low level of air in it. Took it home, used the adapter he mailed to me, and discovered that the every shot w...
