I'll join in on the support of MatchGuns. With the new slide from them fixed the few problems I was having. One note. I have a belief that most MG2 jams are a result of a "Limp Wrist", and because of mt stature, I have shot many different MG2's with few troubles. Could be wishful thinking ...

As a beginner, I found the "Sub_Six" hold to be almost impossible. It's a difficult thing to trust. I tried it on and off for several years before I actually understood it. Now it's the most natural for me. I would guess that my aiming point would be about half way between the bottom of th...

I find with mine that the firing-pin gets so much junk built up in it that I start getting light hits. I know it depends on what ammo is being used as some are worse than others, but ........

I know it's an all-purpose type club, but it does have an air range.

If you don't know anybody that casts, take them to the range and dump them down-range.
I love pellet scrap for casting muzzleloader balls.

As somebody whose blood pressure control depends on metropolol, I sympathize. I hope it won't keep me from competing at the local/US state levels, but if so, so be it. I think there needs to be a therapeutic exemption. My BP was sky high no matter what I did, including losing significant weight. Th...

I started getting that with mine. What I found was I wasn't oiling the pivot pin that the secondary sear (long arm) runs on. It was getting to be ever so slightly sticky and the spring being so light didn't have enough strength to overcome it. These guns are like a formula race car. Every little thi...

From what I remember of the Medalist, you'd need to do some major mods to get it to pass inspection.

.........In any case it seems that this is restricted to elite level global competitions where hopefully the related national body can provide trackies and perhaps even a blazer for glory moments. That is if your country has money for uniforms. I know for a fact, not all teams have uniforms supplie...

Misny, you say 38% more, and you can score 10 shots per target without any difficulty, so the math says, use good quality targets. It's cost efficient.

My Tau came out of the box at 390 f/s, and is as accurate as anybody needs. It also gives well over 100 shots per powerlette. The downside is the poor cutting on cheap targets. The solution, use better targets.

jbshooter, I would seriously re-think your practice of using the sizing die on loaded cases. I believe that what your doing is swagging down the bullet after it's been inserted in the shell. Should the brass have ever so slightly wall thicknesses, the end result will be differing bullet diameters. I...

21 BHN is very hard. Yes, 9 mil uses a higher pressure, but my .45 and 38 bullets are cast at 10 BHN, with no leading. It goes against what most of us think, but a softer bullet at low pressures is better. Bullet to barrel fit is important also. If your bullet is the slightest bit undersize, hot gas...

Going to a good eye doctor is good advise.
I get my prescription made to see the front sight as good as possible, and if the target is blurry, so be it. The center of a blurry gray blob is still the center.
As many great shooters have told me, "Front Sight, Front sight, Front Sight".

Have you tried TrailBoss powder? It's much bulkier, so you need a larger volume charge. I've had good results with it. It is pricier, but with the small charges, cost isn't that big of an issue.
