Varga or Knobloch

Hey everybody, I recently got some advice to try out some shooting glasses and I wanted to know your opinion on both Varga glasses and Knobloch glasses. I shoot both 10m air rifle and 3 pos smallbore. Also, I am not rich, so the varga's will be better for my budget, but if the knobloch's are worth t...

Inconsistent Head Position

Recently my air rifle scores have been dropping. My hold pattern is very tight and i feel very comfortable in position, the problem is that my shots consistently go either left or right. No matter how i try to adjust my sights, the pellet never follows. After speaking with my coach, we identified th...

It is a 120 shot match, and it looks like it will be extremely windy >.< (15-20 mph). I have never shot outdoors before, so this will be good experience. and i will be turning the sights in the direction of the T because i will be 3-4 revolutions low from 50-100? and, yes this will all be iron sights.

I am really...

Urgent Question

Hello to all, I am going to a smallbore prone match tomorrow and just found out that it is a 50-yard and 100-yard match. I have never shot my rifle out past 50ft and I was wondering what some gross sight adjustments are for the increased distance. I shoot Eley Match Ammo. Also, I have a set of the A...

What kind of glove are you using? Yana, the way you hold the rifle is purely based on preference and how it feels to you.

If you can clearly see a grouping trend horizontally, you could decrease the weight on the front end of the rifle.

Howdy, I have the exact same problem as you. I am also 17 and a left handed shooter hoping to raise his scores (96 to 98). one thing that i noticed was your trigger hand. Are you applying pressure to the pistol grip, or are you just letting your hand hang there? If you aren't applying any pressure, ...

ok, first of all, thank you all for your amazing comments! Secondly, I went to Champion's Choice today and held the kk300 and the 1907/1918 stock. I am now leaning towards the Anschutz. Is there anything special I should know about them?
