    200 yards with rimfire

    Rick, Thank you. It was very calm, winds 1-3 mph at most. In fact, it was the nicest condition I’ve ever shot in at that club. A lot of people say that shooting a .22lr at 200 is comparable to shooting a .308 with 155’s at 1000, but I disagree. I’ve shot a lot at 1000 with a Palma rifle and...

    200 yards with rimfire

    Not exactly what you are asking for, but here's a target I shot a couple of years ago. It's the official NRA 200-yard smallbore target, X-ring is 2" (1 MOA) and 10-ring is 4" (2 MOA). This was shot in a match with pulled targets (fire a shot, target puller pulls target to mark for score, then...

    How much magnification for 1000 yds?

    Have you considered trying shooting with iron sights and a sling? Not as popular as just laying next to the rifle on a bipod, but you’d be surprised at the level of accuracy that is possible when you learn how to do it. There are NRA Long Range Matches all over the country where people do...

    Absolutely.

    What happened to using a sling?

    Who's this "us"? I thought you were a Sporting Clays guy?

    Head position

    You are comparing two very different disciplines. Olympic style prone is a lot more like NRA Long-range/Palma/Fullbore than any of the action-type shooting sports. Shooting off of a bipod is very different than shooting from a sling, and requires different techniques. Your equipment, the...

    Spotter, angled or straight?

    Works fine is different than better.

    Spotter, angled or straight?

    Better for all positions? How about prone with a sling?

    What mentality should a hunter bring to F-Class?

    Good shooting!

    Left eye dominant child

    If it were my kid, I'd have him shoot right handed. Occlude his left eye as necessary until shooting is natural that way. I am right handed, right eye dominant and I know that I could walk around just fine with a patch over my right eye all day, but I'd be pretty useless if I had to do all of...

    Advanced Marksmanship Strategy for handling shifting wind

    It’s pretty rare to find a flat range outside of a military base. About all civilian KD ranges are built over varying degrees of terrain. At any rate, every range is different regardless of whether it’s KD or PRS, so learning to speak the overall language is going to be more beneficial than...

    Advanced Marksmanship Strategy for handling shifting wind

    Shooting well in the wind takes a lot of experience. If you have an opportunity to shoot on a KD Range with pulled targets(f-class or NRA Prone matches) the near-instant feedback will show you a lot about what wind changes do what on target. A lot more so than on steel where any hit is fine...

    What mentality should a hunter bring to F-Class?

    I shoot a little Palma. OP, if you are interested in trying prone with a sling again, there are lots opportunities in your area, mainly the same matches as the f-class guys shoot. There are some really good sling shooters around, and they all pretty much love helping new shooters. The same...

    What mentality should a hunter bring to F-Class?

    Well, that escalated quickly. Sorry about your dyslexia, and your hurt feelings. You could just use the space bar, it also will space the words out, and it makes everything you type make more sense than just throwing a bunch of extra periods all over the place. Not sure where "dry fire" came...

    What mentality should a hunter bring to F-Class?

    Going out and blasting away when you have no idea what you are doing, as many (most?) shooters do, only serves to reinforce bad habits and poor technique. It really doesn't foster anything positive. Go to your local indoor pistol range that is open to the public and tell me how you think...

    What mentality should a hunter bring to F-Class?

    Sorry, I strongly disagree.

    What mentality should a hunter bring to F-Class?

    F-Class will help you with pure shooting and understanding of conditions. Shooting competitions with better shooters than you will teach you lessons very quickly that could take years to figure out on your own. The near-instant feedback you get from the target gives you tons of info that is...

    AR-15 F-Class

    They have to be Harris-type folding bipods, the fancy F-class types aren’t allowed. Scopes are limited to 12x.

    Gunsmithing What happened to the bolt rifle gas port thread?

    Well I'll be darned, I guess I am. I was sure it was in the gunsmithing section. Thanks!
