Proudhon, first of all welcome to the air/small bore shooting sporting community. It's awesome that you have chosen to take this up. Do not be discouraged by your age. This is one of the few sports where you can continue to perform at a high level into advanced age. Has anyone seen any 40 year old g...

Nestor, thanks for the photos and feed back. Actually, in many ways your photos are more illustrative than the Scatt web site.

USMC0802, My problem with ESP was not with the hook. The hook is solid, well engineered and flexibly functional. The carrier for the hook which attaches it to the stock has a lot of wobble. His design is different from Anschutz, in that he does not tie the two pivoting legs of the carrier together w...

Not to divert your thread, but if you go the ESP butt hook route, I would advise against using the ESP hook carrier. I have two of them, both came as stock with my Gen. I MWerks stock. New out of the box they wobble due to a design defect. The actual hook is OK, but pony up the extra money for an ac...

Rutty, Thanks for pointing out the search function. What a big help, as I have a ton of other percolating questions. I don't know why my eyes/brain never focused on the small blue print. Probably why my nephews are always beating me so bad at any video games. I can never find a plasma laser rifle/ro...

I am seriously considering purchasing a electronic training system so I can practice 3p .22 at home (minus the live .22). One range day a week is feeling inadequate, and dry firing without a feedback result while productive, is less than satisfying. Can anyone tell me as a user if there are any real...

I have the Anschutz Stenvagg boot, bought from Champions Shooters, excellent boot. While I have not bought any of Champions Shooters in house brand boots, I do have numerous Freeland/Champion Shooters clothing items bought when I started shooting. Most of their in house clothing in general, is of re...

The fact that she can tell when she has had a poor shot before looking is good. Especially if she can 'call' the location correctly. That is a big part of the game. Mastering negativity, and the telegraphing of it does need to be brought under control. Kind of a zen thing, part of what makes shootin...

There is an off handed reference to his soviet era sling in 'The ways of the rifle' 2009 version. Something about them being 'old' and specially made. Maybe some secret voodoo inside, probably they are just comfortable with them?

The coach is right in one respect, you cannot unshoot a shot. But, you are the master of your fate not a passive bystander to it. Both 'The Ways of The Rifle', and the high power rifle champion David Tubb's books pretty much advocate a similar approach: A kind of bifurcated brain. The psychological ...

The Anschutz sweater (long sleeve) is sized correctly (for me), I am large in normal clothing and the sweater size L fits well. It has also held up well. Don't own that brand of underwear, so I can't comment on overall thickness or sizing/fit.

EJ pretty much pegged where I was going in my previous 'catch 22' allusion. In order to sell to the top end of the market, essentially a subset of a subset of a subset of shooters, you need verifiable benchmarked performance against peers, the Anschutz, Bleiker's etc. of the world. This probably req...

You raise good points. I have always assumed that because the Empire State Games smallbore 3p was held at our range that the actually firing points did not have significant elevation discrepancies from the target points, however I will bring in an optical transit level to confirm. And for good measu...

Is the purpose of your inquiry to determine marketability for production of such a rifle? If it is, there are a bunch of things to consider, financial and technical. The financial aspects relate to the technical aspects but are not the same. My own inquiries on this subject lead me to believe you ma...

Thanks a lot. I'll get the saw running.

Hello Folks, Can anyone tell me what is the accepted practice for mounting height of the center line of the sighter bulls on the 50 meter ISU adjusted to 50 Yd. target in ISSF rules? I read somewhere that height was .75 meters to center of target, but is that the sighter bulls, or the the first reco...
