Re: Gear and rifle case: How do you move them around?

I decided to try an easy option today and threw a shoulder strap on my gun case. It worked better than I thought. Maybe I just need a shotgun back scabbard for my rifle?

Re: Adult shooter looking for coach and gear advice

Isn't there a range at the NRA nearby? I'd bet that someone there would be qualified.

I think I'd just be carrying an additional bag then.

Re: Gear and rifle case: How do you move them around?

Ugh, I just did the math and I've been shooting for 27 years...sometimes I forget I'm not 20 anymore, but quickly remember after I'm done shooting standing. I wish my step daughter was interested in shooting, because that would solve some of this....except then I'd have twice the gear... I've seen p...

Gear and rifle case: How do you move them around?

The title is a little weird, because I wasn't sure how to phrase it, but here is my situation: I used to use a soft equipment bag that I could toss on my back like a backpack, so I'd always have a hand free to operate doors and such. Recently, I decided to give a hard style equipment case a shot. It...

Anschutz Pistol Grip Interchangeability?

I just picked up a first gen Anschutz aluminum 2013 stock (not sure what the exact model number of the stock itself is), and I'd like to get a larger grip for it. Are the newer grips interchangeable?

Re: Announcement New American Smallbore Shooting Associatio

I'm not trying to start an internet argument here, but I just want to point out that they don't *have* to do the same stuff that USAS did when they split. I'm involved with a couple of other organizations that hold events that are regional and national championship level. Neither of those organizati...

Re: Announcement New American Smallbore Shooting Associatio

I don't see how they need a ton of seed money for this. USA Shooting needs money to represent the US in international competitions. Maintain a world class training facility. Coaches and athletes on the payroll. Ammo costs.

ASSA just needs to hold matches.

Re: Turbo V-2 3P Rifle Experience

I was interested in the length with the entire butt assembly removed (the carrier, and cheek piece).

Re: Turbo V-2 3P Rifle Experience

I know this is going to sound like a strange request, but could you measure the length, minus tube and butt?

I want one in the worst way. It's not in the cards at the moment, but maybe in the spring after I get my tax return back.

Re: Turbo V-2 3P Rifle Experience

How does the trigger compare to the Anschutz trigger?

Re: 2016 National Match schedule is out

Except a CMP official said that they paid for the lion's share of the cost at Perry, so that doesn't exactly jive.

I'll have to try that tonight.

I saw that value, but had no idea what it really did. What is it supposed to represent?

SCATT problem

I have an old serial SCATT hooked to an equally old laptop. Occasionally, I'll have a shot end up nowhere near the trace line, and I can't figure out why. Has anyone else experienced this?

Re: air rifle target trolley system

I've shot air in the ballroom of a hotel before, so it can be done without the use of permanent structures.

Re: Beginner looking for advice

I'm not sure where this eye dominance thing started (probable with pistol shooters?), but when the rules allow you to cover the non-aiming eye, the only reason to shoot left handed would be a physical problem preventing right handed shooting. You spend your whole life doing everything with your righ...

Re: Beginner looking for advice

If you are right handed, shoot right handed. Don't fall for that eye dominance trick.

Re: Kneeling roll filling material

I have been using popcorn kernels for years. Yeah, it's a bit heavy (comparable to rice/birdseed), but it's super cheap, available anywhere, and makes for a great emergency snack!

Re: Customising Anschutz Precise

I never understood the mirror finish stocks. It must be murder to shoot outside on a sunny day.
