    Advanced Marksmanship Holder over/off vs dialing

    I pretty much hold over/under/off for everything unless I'm shooting movers, even on stages where there's no time constraints, it eliminates any mechanical errors that the scope might have as well as mistakes made in dialing or loosing track of my zero

    Advanced Marksmanship Position Shooting Standards

    The NRA 200 yard SR target has a 3" x ring and a 7" ten ring, high x- count cleans are fairly common from the sitting"rapid" position and while not as common it's not unusual for the top shooters to shoot clean offhand, the 300 yard target is shot from the prone position with the sling "rapid...

    What is the current best .22lr?

    The top end Anschutz rifles with the right ammo are very, very good but for the same money you can build a custom on a Hall action, and have an incredibly accurate rifle that's truly unique, plus it's made in the USA

    Why are tube guns/chassis not more popular?

    " If I were a tube gun manufacturer, I would for example take the comment about a lot of metal being problematic in cold temperatures seriously (tactical shooters and hunters are not wearing 'oven mitts' like HP shooters) and would at least consider a handguard made from carbon fiber composites...

    Why are tube guns/chassis not more popular?

    To the OP, you titled this thread "why aren't tubeguns more popular" then open it with "why you decided against it" . To your first question: it depends on what circles you travel in, If you attended last years Berger Longrange Southwest Nationals, an event that had well over 250...

    Do people actually use their slings when shooting precision rifle?
