    I can't shoot a damn pellet gun...

    Re: I can't shoot a damn pellet gun... It has been my experience that all of the springer air rifles that I have used have left me disappointed. Granted they are an inexpensive way to get high velocity, they are very hard to shoot accurately. Another problem that has been mentioned a couple...

    Re: 1/2" at 25yds shooting is one of the only things he talks about, and he goes through a ream of paper a month drawing pictures of the "guns" he wants for Christmas, or his birthday. He makes a couple practices a week at air rifle and is the unofficial team manager for the team. He seems...

    I can't shoot a damn pellet gun...

    Re: I can't shoot a damn pellet gun... an air rifle will show you your weaknesses. Consider this, you are shooting a springer type weapon with a totally different recoil action, this means that you need to learn how to manage that recoil differently than with a center fire rifle. Secondly...

    1/2" at 25yds

    I just got done shooting with my son, his first day really shooting with dad seriously. I let him use my Savage BVGT at 25 yds prone, and damned if he didn't show me he has been paying attention when he watched me coach the high school kids. He shot a 1/2" 25yd group with no input from me other...

    Re: Best Western Hotel laughs at disabled vet!! BW lost all future business from my teams and me personally. I think I will also pay a visit to their offices and express my distaste for their reprehensible followup on the incident.

    Help choosing a .22

    Re: Help choosing a .22 the biggest limitation to rimfire precision shooting is ammunition. I am sure that if it were practical to hand load rimfire then peoples performance can move into the centerfire world. With that in mind in order to achieve the accuracy that you desire you need to be...

    Cheek Riser/Cheek Weld Woes

    Re: Cheek Riser/Cheek Weld Woes you raised the pillars to gain extra clearance in the barrel channel? I have never heard of doing that, and it would seem to diminish your accuracy potential, by reducing your actions contact with its support system. Good luck with that, I would think you will...

    Cheek Riser/Cheek Weld Woes

    Re: Cheek Riser/Cheek Weld Woes unless you are running a massive scope, it sounds like your are running very tall rings. You can add layers of foam to you stock until you find the right height under your stock pack. I never had that problem with mine but I ran as short of rings as I could...
