And while we're at it. . . Why do you feel the issue has to do with your height? Do you shoot consistently higher scores on targets placed higher than the regulation height? It's certainly something to consider. It's easy to assume we just don't "fit the mold", when in fact we're simply fi...

East Coast Matches

I'm looking for some 10m precision air rifle matches within about 5 hours of Blacksburg, Va. I've done lots of searches, and it seems that most of the calendars that are posted are from 2009.

Thanks!!

Cole

Thanks!
Cole
