    300 yards shooting is all over the place.

    And you "know" nothing about spelling. Your qualifications are not as impressive as you think they are to those of us who know what they mean.

    300 yards shooting is all over the place.

    Wouldn't it be funny if it turned out the OP had something like loose scope rings or a loose flash suppressor? 300 yards ain't that far. If some rounds aren't even hitting the target, I'm not convinced that there is not an equipment/ammo problem here. It really doesn't take super-human...

    I have never used magnum primers in the Palma brass.

    F T/R Competition Looking for 100 yards Reduced-Distance F-Class Targets

    I don't know of anywhere to get exactly what you are asking for, but you can try this: go to Ray-Vin.Com and go to the "tech pages" link on the left side. Click on "free targets" and look for the "MR-1 Reduced for 50 yards". This is a scaled down version of the 600 yard sling target for 50...

    Nightforce TS-82 vs Meopta S2 82 HD

    So are they the same thing with different names?

    F T/R Competition Is there any compositions in Wisconsin or long distant ranges over 200 yards ?

    Eau Claire is also nice, but only has a 600 yd range. Just shot a 4x600 match there last weekend. I just looked up Niagara, WI on Google Earth, and you are indeed a long way from any range I know of. Looks like around 4 hours for you to get to Lodi, Eau Claire, or Duluth(500 yard range). I...

    Lodi is just north of Madison. I'm heading out Friday afternoon to shoot the 2-day Palma regional there this weekend.

    adjusting for wind

    I have to assume you're joking, right? That cooling tower at the nuclear plant is about 4.5 miles away from the nearest target on Viale. Making wind calls based on that info would be about as reliable as making calls based on the 5 o'clock news weather report.

    F T/R Competition New F-Class Division

    Your last paragraph sums it up. F-Class is not a practical shooting sport. It's a game of shooting stationary, known-size targets at known distances. Some people get really good at it and some people spend a lot of money on it. Some of those people are the same people. It has nothing to do with...

    F T/R Competition New F-Class Division

    Ok, I'll bite - why? Are we going to have a shooting contest, or do some kind of weird bavarian cardio-commando thing? Do you pose this same challenge to people who partake in other hobbies? "Hey pal, you think you're a pretty good bowler, so why don't you invite me to your local bowling...

    F T/R Competition New F-Class Division

    I actually take it fairly seriously myself. I don't kid myself about it though, no one is going to pay me to do it, and nobody outside of a very small group of shooters could care much less about my cabinet full of trophies, medals and awards. My wife doesn't even find them particularly...

    Maybe you could explain it to me then? Or is it one of those "if you have to ask, you'll never know" kind of things?

    F T/R Competition New F-Class Division

    I'm afraid you are making the common mistake of confusing shooting matches(any sort) with some sort of military/post-apocolypse training. It's just a hobby. The chances are infinitesimally small that whichever skill-set you develop in your chosen game will ever be used for anything other than...

    Movie Theater LUCY...might be...interesting

    I dunno, doesn't really look like they stayed true to the TV series. I hope Desi at least gets a cameo.

    what good is a spotting scope without a decent (front focal) reticlue

    I currently have a Kowa 773. I also had the 883, but I just recently sold it as the 773 is just so handy in size and weight, and I couldn't really tell a difference in optical quality between the 2. I am not actually a bird watcher though, I was just being facetious. My needs don't require a...

    All I know is that if I do my part, my bird scope can spot a snowy owl in a blizzard at 535 yards ALL DAY LONG. Can you do that with one of your fancy reticule scopes?

    Yeah, it's pretty normal. I just hate people bad-mouthing bird watchers cuz that's my people. I only dabble a little in shooting on the side. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ok, gotcha. What about the follow-up question about being abused by a bird watcher? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Holy crap, you can range a dust cloud from your bullet strike at over a mile and get an "easy answer based on an angular measurement with no other computations necessary"? If so, you are a better man than most. Just out of curiosity, were you abused by a bird watcher as a child?
