    That looks like a 289 Ford I worked on one time that had been running Wolf's Head motor oil.

    CZ 457 Magazine Issues; 10 Round

    A buddy showed me his steel CZ mag. It had some file marks where he had to modify it. I don't remember what he did. He seemed to like it after he got it working.

    Most ranges charge from $10 to $20 or so to compete. My thoughts were, if a club spends $50 or so to build a portable bench, then a few extra entry fees would pay for the bench quickly. We had a good day. People started showing up before the 10AM start and we had steady shooters all day. It...

    Today's the day. ;) Weather looks like it will be OK. It's going to warm up into the 60s but it will be somewhat windy. Good day to learn hold off. :) We have reasonably large targets for the distances, so it will be fine.

    Thanks @DownhillFromHere . We didn't invent this. The credit goes to a couple MARS clubs over East. Upthread there is a link to their info. The beauty of this is, that a club can be having a regular NRL22/PRS22 match and all they need is a portable bench or 2. There are dozens of plans on...

    Getting things set up. We're going to have 4 or 5 stages to try out plus random targets people can shoot at. Weather report looks like it will be good. Everything is shot from under cover in case of rain. Stages can be shot from props or bench with bipod and rear bag. Shooters choice.

    This is a little off topic but not really. The thread is about old people shooting. ;) Have you tried something like these exercise balls? I have a set sitting by my computer and exercise my hands while reading. It really helps my arthritis. There's supposed to be a link to hand exercise...

    This is going to be all hanging steel. No paper. This is going to be a learn as you go for us. Scroll up in the thread and somebody posted a link to pictures. They have a bunch of pictures that show what they are doing. What we are planning is to just set up an NRL22 type match with the normal...

    I think Tactical Benchrest is going to be the OG PRS/NRL22 venue of the future. Tomorrow we're going to set up for the open house at Powerline. Open House is Saturday 10:00 til 3:00. Shooters will be under cover in case of rain.

    Much thanks for the info. We're going to do a dry run of this on Saturday March 25 at Powerline Range near St Clairsville Ohio. We'll have some NRL/PRS 22 type stages set up where you can shoot off the props or a portable bench set up beside the stage. All shooters will shoot the same...

    PICTURE THREAD: Let’s see those 10/22 groups! 🎯

    That target was shot very rapidly. 3,4 and 5 shot bursts with about 1/4 second splits between shots. I was seeing how many shots I could get off before I heard the ring on steel of the first shot of the burst. The Kidd 2 stage trigger helped a lot. ;) It was probably SK Biathlon Sport ammo. It...

    PICTURE THREAD: Let’s see those 10/22 groups! 🎯

    350 yards with my 10-22. 20" steel target, 50 shots shooting 3,4 or 5 shots at a time, firing them before I heard the impact of the first shot of the burst. I counted 49 hits. :)

    REALISTIC groups at 200 yards?

    That was a very good day. ;) My groups often aren't that good.

    Thanks for that information. I've studied those photos several times.

    Gymnasiums have a program called "Silver Sneakers" for those over 65.

    Apology accepted, however not needed. I don't get upset easily. ;) Several have said they don't like the "Old" title. Suggestions are needed for what to call this. The plan is for this to be a one off local Outlaw match.

    Sorry. :) I'm 77 with a bad back and X-Rays to prove it. I've had joint pain for the last 20 years. I have "joint du jour". A different joint hurts each day. ;) I used to shoot a lot of IDPA before Covid shut it down around here. Standard practice was to take 2 ibuprofen just before I got to the...

    Both NRL22 and PRS22 have rules to allow Old Guys to shoot from alternative positions because of physical limitations. What allowances have you seen. I'm not as flexible as I used to be. If I have to go prone, you might as well throw a pillow down there with me, because I'm going to be there...

    Best Rimfire Match elements?

    Good thread. Lots of good information so far. I don't have much experience in administrating rifle matches, but I do have 40 years experience doing IDPA and USPSA pistol matches. Shooters want the same thing no matter what they are shooting. They want to have fun and leave happy they came and...
