.22 ammunition

I Ransom rested my Unique DES 69 last week at 50 yds. One of the brands I shot was the Aquila standard velocity. I would call it average. Wolfe Match Extra shot a little under 3/4" 10 shot groups. Federal 711B was very close next. CCI std velocity was 1"+. Aquila was about the same. Eley P...

Does anyone know where I can get a +1.25 and +1.5 lense for my shooting glasses?
Thanks!

World Record

Was the record you refer to in 1963 the one set by T.D.Smith?
If so the pistol he used is in the National Firearms Museum.
I roomed with him the modulars at Perry in 1990 when we both shot for Okalahoma.
He is one REAL American!
I wish I could have bottled everything he tried to teach me!

FAS owner

I have no problems with brass.
I have the Unique brass catcher attached, similar to the ones I have seen on Hammerli .32's.
I never loose or have to look for an empty case.
Before using this device I don't think it threw the empty any harder or any further than the Walther .32's I have seen.

.32 triggers

I think this thread on the .32 is great! I have a question for those with far greater experience and knowledge with these guns than I. Can any of you suggest the series of adjustments I need to make to my Unqiue 32U to give it a "long roll" trigger? I can't seem to get it right on my own. ...

Coaches Class

Mike,
Thanks!
I do plan to get NRA Instructor certification by mid summer in at least pistol and rifle. I may have a chance to take the coaches program near year end.
I am interested in these from the teaching end not the learning to shoot end.
Thanks again!

Unique .32

Hi! I have owned a Unique .32 for about 4 years. I am afraid I haven't shot it very much... maybe five thousand rounds. During that time it has functioned flawlessly on reloads. Although I have experimented with it at 50 yds I shoot it mostly at 25. It is alot of fun. If only I could figure out the ...

Pellet Traps

Helen, Once again thanks! I am now involved in a city bb/air gun program. We shoot on an old '50s era government range that is great but only has 5 firing points. What I hope to do is move into one of the city recreation centers that has gymnasiums. I am starting from scratch on trap design and cons...

Pellet trap

Helen,
Thanks for the reply!
Unfortunately I can't get past the general description on the website.
What am I doing wrong?
How can I see more detail?
Thanks!
