It isn't the fault of Monard if the customer service is lousy - that's to do with your local agent.

There are plenty of people who don't use a block at all. The ammo comes in good containers, and is kept clean, so the attraction of pushing every round into a wooden or plastic hole with who-knows-what in them has never really appealed!

Try grass seed, but beware taking it to countries where you can't import plant seeds!

Sparks How old is this picture? When did he start using a Feinwerkbau ? Walter The picture was taken by me at the Grand Prix of Liberation in Plzen, CZE less than two weeks ago, and has been "borrowed" off the SSRA website without permission, which is a little naughty! He's been using the...

The other knee gets your elbow on top of it, and a lot of padding in between from the shooting jacket. Thousnads of people shoot standing without special shooting pants. In the USA, they're called highpower shooters. Ask David Tubb (sp?) if he needs one. Not that much padding - ISSF jackets don't h...

Re: Shooting Pants & Back Pain

Not being a 3-P (or 4-P) shooter, I don't really understand how a pair of pants (canvas or otherwise) can help aleviate back problems in the standing position. Do they come up higher that normal pants? Are they tighter than normal pants? I can see where they might help in kneeling (Ok I lied. I hav...

The issf wants to see the scores go down.... I wish people would stop saying that. This is not the objective! David Parish had a letter published in a the British governing body's magazine about this recently, and he stressed that it was not about reducing scores. But, interestingly enough, his let...

No they're trying to make it harder to win. Not according to David Parish, the Chairman of the ISSF Technical Committee, and not according to Gary Anderson, Vice-President of the ISSF. It's all about their perception of what the media and the IOC think about rifle shooters. As for injuries, you nee...

Re: Front Sight Aperture Selection Chart

The study was conducted by Dan Durben and JP O'Connor, both coaches on the National Development Staff. The study was based on the distance from the eye to the middle of the front sight in relation...
