Soupy,

You never did tell us how the new club is coming along?

Sparks, I was thinking along those lines as well. The ISSF document references the University de Flores in Buenos Aires. My search of their website could not locate a listing for a professor Dr. Ricardo Rio, PhD; that doesn't mean that he's not there, that means my Spanish is about as good as yours....

Personally, I don't see any benefit to having shooting sports attached to any college or university, especially via the NCAA. Like it or not, shooting sports are ALWAYS going to be at the bottom of the barrel in terms of funding and importance. In the college sports world, it's all about how much mo...

Hi all,

I am trying to get pictures of left-handed rifle shooters. I'm a lefty and I've been noticing how almost devoid national and international competition is of left-handed rifle shooters. Can anyone think of one?

I preface my comment by saying that, on the surface, the members of the committee deserve nothing but the utmost respect and commendability for taking what one may describe as a theorhetically proactive approach to some arguably signficant concerns set forth by undesclosed representatives of the IOC...

Why tell the wife?

Hi all, I've been using RWS Target Rifle ammo for quite some time now. After around ~1,500 rounds between my Savage Mk II and Anschutz 1907 I haven't had any problem. I've even gotten into the top 3 at some local events using it. About a month and a half ago, I decided to try some of the RWS Match R...

Sean,

Your metalwork is down right great! I can really see the workmanship in the piece. If you get mored with your day job, you might have a future in this.

I know exactly what you're talking about. I've come to chalking it up to this: used to be that people learned about guns the same way they learned about a lot of things-by doing. People bought guns and they went shooting and hunting. But nowadays people learn about things, to quote the great Muhamma...

SSauer, I think you're right on. Ebrem, your profile on the side says you're in New York. I'm no expert, but as I remember, New York State has some of the strangest CCW laws on the books in America. I know for sure that it's the only state permit that isn't good in the entire state. Since the permit...

About 5 or 6 years ago, I did a person-to-person transfer when I still lived down south. BATF told me all I needed was a receipt with the standard recitals: name, address, make, model, serial, price, date, and both signatures. With that said, I sincerely wish I had never done that. A hurricane hit, ...

Adidas and Nike both make tights that might work for you. If you check out either the Adistar or Supernova line (Adidas), that might work in this heat. They use a proprietary fabric that vents and still retains that much needed modesty. If you have trouble finding some, try Ebay. They're usually on ...

Waisted, I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about. Unless you're shooting some kind of Silhouette Rifle, there isn't really a SB match rifle out there without a fully-adjustable stock. I'm a lefty and I shoot Left-Handed and honestly, the walnut stock on my Anschutz 1907L is probably the only ...

Personally, I use 3.0 and 3.2 irises, depending on condition. I like a thin (1.0) ring and a really tight sight picture. I'll get some flack for that, but that's my choice. The only thing I can tell you is that it's your gun, it's your sight picture. Remember, everything we all do on this website is...

Hi all, I belong to a conservation league where I shoot on our 50-Yard pistol range. The shooting sports part of our club has three camps: Trap, Action/Practical Pistol, and Benchrest Rifle. As a Smallbore shooter, I get a lot of support out of the Action Pistol group. Just about anything I want to ...

Hi all, I'm tossing around the idea of getting back into competitive pistol shooting in addition to my Smallbore Rifle activities. I've been looking at pistols and am thinking about going with a S&W 617 or the S&W 41. My thing is-I just don't know about the accuracy of the 617. I like both t...

Have you thought about finding an indoor range? I hate to see you shooting in your basement. During the winter, there are a couple of postal matches that your son can do at an indoor range. Hap Rocketto ran a monthly 50-feet indoor postal match (http://pronematch.com/pickering-postal/). I also know ...

After several requests from my writings in other posts, I am presenting some information about some work I've done to upgrade a Savage Mark II FVT into a better competition gun for several different disciplines. For a little bit over $100, you can do some simple things that will make the gun legal f...

MEC, the German shooting supplier puts out a book called Ways of the Rifle. I cannot think of a Competitive Supplier (Champion's Choice, Champion Shooters, Creedmoor, etc.) that I have that doesn't carry the book. The English version runs around $60 or so. This, in the opinions of many (including my...
