    An open letter to Match Directors and Competitors

    Re: An open letter to Match Directors and Competitors RKSimple: Your comment about LRF's in the parking lot on UKD targets. Are you referring to a Rifles Only match? I can remember a shooter doing that at one of the matches. In that particular instance, it was a prohibited action. We have...

    Am I evil ?

    Re: Am I evil ? This is for you Frank! That mother fucker. I can't believe the nerve of that sonofabitch. Why didn't he just do an IP trace and back track the server logs to figure out who you are? Piglet cocksucker trunk hooker that chafes my balls. You should burn a scare crow in effigy...

    Re: Shooting in the rain POI question Mattj, Just a question, but how far are you shooting and how are you adjusting for humidity?

    edit: Having a hard time seeing impact.

    Re: Having a hard time calling my own shots. I have had an affinity for irons and leather slings for a long time. You have to work at that!

    edit: Having a hard time seeing impact.

    Re: Having a hard time calling my own shots. I got it lovingly stored in my vault. Which I have repeatedly forgotten to mail to its rightful owner. Bowed head, I will get it back where it belongs. The upside is that it is in great condition as it has not been used or abused in any manner...

    edit: Having a hard time seeing impact.

    Re: Having a hard time calling my own shots. Doc, You really have to be careful with blanket statements like "damn near impossible" I did it 53 consecutive times this morning at 100 yards and a few others from alternate positions at 100 Not only is it possible, but for many it happens...

    Advanced Marksmanship tip of finger vs. 2nd joint

    Re: tip of finger vs. 2nd joint I can't speak for everyone, but I am well aware of what a smooth trigger press is.

    Advanced Marksmanship tip of finger vs. 2nd joint

    Re: tip of finger vs. 2nd joint If your technique does not allow the fundamental to be followed, then there is a problem. I will take straight back over smooth any day. Straight allows there not to be any lateral movement in the system. That is key. You can be as "smooth" as glass, but if the...

    Advanced Marksmanship tip of finger vs. 2nd joint

    Re: tip of finger vs. 2nd joint The rifle doesn't give a shit if you are comfortable. It is about angles and force.

    ocular lens adjustment

    Re: ocular lens adjustment The ocular lens only needs to be adjusted once and it only focuses the reticle. It is not a parallax adjustment

    ocular lens adjustment

    Ocular lens adjustment on riflescopes Over the last six months there has been a discussion on the ocular lens adjustment going on at Rifles Only. Students are arriving and they are under the impression that the ocular adjustment is a function of eye relief. Let me be very clear: Eye relief is...

    Advanced Marksmanship Shooting Wrong-Handed,

    Re: Shooting Wrong-Handed, Constantly. Two eyes, two hands, two shoulders. You should shoot equally well from both sides. In fact, most shoot a bit better from the support side. Take the word "wrong" out of it and apply the fundamentals. Again, no voodoo, PR is an "if/then" skill set. If you...

    Advanced Marksmanship Can zero change 1moa going from bench to prone?

    Re: Can zero change 1moa going from bench to prone I was being facetious. Of course I know what it means. I just don't care. I am not "interested" is probably what I should have said. I still want you to address whether you should ignore the fundamentals if the shot goes where you "called"...

    Advanced Marksmanship Can zero change 1moa going from bench to prone?

    Re: Can zero change 1moa going from bench to prone HAHAHA That has to be the most ridiculous thing you have said yet. Essentially what you are saying is that if the bullet goes where you want it, go ahead and ignore the fundamentals. I want one fighter to be able to pick up the other...

    Advanced Marksmanship Can zero change 1moa going from bench to prone?

    Re: Can zero change 1moa going from bench to prone Charlie, I beg to differ. You can absolutely zero to a shooting error. I see it every day. In fact, there are several top notch snipers I know that have come right out and made the statement " I cannot control my flinch, so I dial for it"...

    Advanced Marksmanship Can zero change 1moa going from bench to prone?

    Re: Can zero change 1moa going from bench to prone is this what you said? It's all about sight alignment and trigger control, everything else supports those two concepts. Because it sounds a lot like: Usually that means getting a good sight picture and not screwing up the trigger, because...

    Advanced Marksmanship Can zero change 1moa going from bench to prone?

    Re: Can zero change 1moa going from bench to prone? Usually that means getting a good sight picture and not screwing up the trigger, because a zeroed weapon is a zeroed weapon whether you like it or not. Additionally, the rifles doesn't care if you are comfortable
