    Sidearms & Scatterguns Best pistol out of the box for competition shooting

    The q5 fits my hand really nicely. I've not had the chance to handle the Grand Power. Since the Canik and Grand Power are not as mainstream I was looking to see if there was anyone here that has hands on experience.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Best pistol out of the box for competition shooting

    I've been doing the research and I'm getting ready to dive into the world of handgun competition. USPSA production and Super Steel are the ones that I'll be aiming for. I've been bouncing back and forth between the Grand Power X-Calibur, the Walther Q5 Match and the Canik TP9SFX. I've got rather...

    Nikon p900 as a spotting scope

    Has anyone considered using these as a spotting scope? I've seen a few videos which makes it seem capable to handle it plus it would also give access to a recording instrument for the long range shots as well. Any thoughts? Anyone using these?

    Sidearms & Scatterguns ruger 22/45 lite mark IV feed issues

    So I just picked up a new Ruger 22/45 lite Mark IV on saturday and took it out to the range yesterday. Every 6th or 7th round in the mag would have a failure to feed. I also noticed that the top of the mags were so wide that rounds were nearly vertical during when I had to remove the mag for the...

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    I know it's not much but I was able to shoot steel out to 300 yesterday. Decided that using the scope at 24X was cheating so I dialed it back to 6. It made me feel a little better about my marksmanship when I'm still pinging the 6 in pie at 300 without fail at 6x.

    Thank you. And Lefty I have one attached I was looking for the RBA that he posted. but I still might upgrade to one with cant because it'll let me line up my scope better I think.

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    would you suggest the sinclair for a bipod? I'm looking to upgrade the inexpensive one (harris 6-9 no swivel) I have on there now. I'm not trying to break the bank for it though. How important is the bipod on the "you get what you pay for" scale? Should I just upgrade the harris to one with a...

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    So on the topic of bipods. I'm curious about buying a better bipod or if I should learn to shoot from a bag. Anyone have advice on that? Anyone prefer shooting from a bag over a bipod?

    What can I do away from the range to make myself a better shooter?

    What can I do at home with my rifle to get better. I live in a townhome so I don't have land to shoot on or be able to fire but does anyone have any suggestions on training or tools that will help with training at home?
