    What's the most stupid thing you've been told?

    Must have been those new ballistic .22 rounds. Potent.

    Bench vertical stringing

    Make only one adjustment at a time. Otherwise you'll not isolate what it is. Be patient and work the problem,

    MOA reticle range estimation question

    I grabbed my tire pressure gauge and tried it. Great results. Beats Mils and MOAs. Tested out to 2000 PSI :-)

    Natural Point of aim question

    Muscling a rifle around gives you a NAA. Natural Area of Aim. That's not what you want. Natural Point of Aim - the rifle should not move. Prone, my toes go to work fine tuning the position. Once your major bones are set in building a solid position,, just small minute adjustments should...

    Do I NEED a new trigger

    I mentioned a bit of this in another thread. I shot well until I went to a small bore rifle. EVERYTHING I thought I was doing well with center-fire rifles showed up as major defects in small bore. Hold, heart-beats, hand and trigger control errors were all magnified in small bore. Even...

    Do I NEED a new trigger

    Quoting "Position Rifle Shooting" Bill Pullum and Frank Hanenkrat... Page 22: The hidden, unobservable ability to concentrate is one of the most important "secrets" of the champion shooter. . . . Half of the book is soft skills. Stuff between your ears. The other half are hard skills -...

    Do I NEED a new trigger

    To keep things simple, make one change/improvement at a time. If you make several changes at once, you'll never know what fixed what. So one thing at a time. Have patience. Eyes on details of what you're doing. Do you have a coach or experienced shooter or trainer at the range. They...

    Do I NEED a new trigger

    Easy on the trigger and pull straight back. Like the 1911, a push slightly sideways will push your shots over.

    Do I NEED a new trigger

    Looks like inconsistent trigger pull as groups still have a horizontal spread. Slight trigger jerking might do this. Also follow through. Slowly squeeze the trigger through the shot and recoil. Do not jerk your head up to "see the shot". As they say, --"Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast." --...

    How consistant are QD mounts?

    Depends on which on you use. Research before you buy. Also, if you don't need one, don't bother. If you share optics amongst a few firearms, it's much less trouble. You will still need to check your zero, but will be close. On and off one firearm only, it can be dead on or less than half...

    Should I choose.223 for a "trainer rifle"?

    I've started with 5.56 and worked through to .300 mag. I shot rather well and had it rather figured out. Or so I thought.... Then I had to friggin go and buy an Anschutz .22 target rifle (with all the plumbing) and suddenly was in a new world of learning what trigger control really...

    Do I NEED a new trigger

    Do you consistently place the same part of your finger to the same spot on the trigger? Start with between the fist joint and tip of finger and pulling straight back. Some sideways pull can get you groups like this, but wind can too. A better trigger can help or can mask the problem. I...

    Measuring 100 yards accurately?

    Full swing with a 7 iron consistently gets me 190 yards. Then just pace off the rest!
