David, Here I go again... I hope I know what I am talking about... 50 ft. Isn't that NRA only? As far as an NRA National Record is concerned isn't the only requirement that it be a "registered" tournament versus only an "approved". I don't think the minumum number of competitors ...

I had asked the same question so I contacted USAS.
They very kindly replied with the following:
J3= 14 & under
J2= 15-17
J1= 18-20
S1= 45-54
S2= 55-64
Veteran= 65 & older
Let's hope we all get to compete as Veteran some day!

I have a problem... My precision shooting, whether it's 50 yd NRA Conventional Pistol slow fire or the precision phase of Standard Pistol or International Center Fire, really stinks. I have moments of success but no consistency. I have reasonable results in sustained fire. My slow fire shot goes som...

Stan,
Heck!
I'll even throw in Friday evening for you!

I have the keys to the city indoor range but I'm WAY too far from either of you!
Isn't that how it always goes?
JLK

How old is "veteran"?
Thanks!

Patrick,
Thanks for the words of encouragement!

Patrick, I hope this doesn't turn in to venting but you have brought up a subject I have recently been involved in. I recently took over the shooting programs for the City of Lincoln Parks and Recreation Dept. The program consists of a BB gun and air rifle program including basic classes up to and i...

I think that a good coach is a good teacher first. What I like hearing is the emphasis on "grass roots" competitor pool. I have already sent Mr. Mitchell the name of a shooter I know in Iowa who has great potential. I guess the "proof in the pudding" will be if they follow up. Go...

Hi David!
I always enjoy your posts.
Especially those regarding current rules.
Earlier someone suggested that a sub 6 hold would require them to not have to raise their arm as high.
It's my feeling that the difference would be an imperceptible angular one.
Just my opinion.
JLK

Hi Mike!
What I was getting at does a sub 6 hold really allow you to lower your arm versus a center hold.
Thanks!
JLK

Please don't throw rocks but I have a really dumb question...
Isn't the centerline of the bore in the same position relative to the target regardless of what sight picture you use?
Thanks!

William, I load .32 S&W Longs on a Dillon 550B for my Unique 32U. I have gotten consistent charges down to 1.3 gr VV310 with no problem. As a previous poster stated you need to get their smallest powder slide for the Dillon powder measure when you buy the press. It comes with a large and small a...

Bob!
You weren't the guy I cross fired on during the .22 phase of the preliminary matches at Perry in '90 I hope!

What would be a fair price to pay for a FWB 300 air rifle in average condition?
Thanks!

Best wishes and a speedy recovery!

Did anyone see "Circle of Honor" this evening? They covered the US Running Target Team. Schedule is: Tue Jul. 27, 2004 6:30 PM Thu Jul. 29, 2004 11:30 PM Fri Jul. 30, 2004 10:30 PM Times are Eastern I believe. The next series is supposed to cover the US Pistol Team. I just caught the last ...

Will the new International Rapid Fire Target be used for International Center Fire Duel?
Thanks!
JLK

Scott,
I prefer it to the old format.
I think it's great.
Thanks!

Yes, it is a Browning Medalist. I have one that I bought new in 1972. It was my first NRA Conventional Pistol .22. The empty space in the case is for a combo tool that folds. One end is for the grip and forearm screws the other end will fit the sight adjusting slots. The barrel is too long for Inter...
