    Monthly Sporting Rifle match RATON NM

    yup - just to echo what ScottyD said above...(I was also in the same squad as he was) It is the people at this match that really make it so great. Anyone who is a little scared of shooting this format should not be. Lots of coaching and advice (and friendly teasing!) from the more experienced...

    Cartridge OAL for Sako TRG 22

    Hi there everyone - I will be loading up some .308 rounds for my Sako TRG22 - using Lapua 155gr Scenar. My question is this: Will I be limited by the magazine length BEFORE I am able to seat the rounds right at the lands?? (i.e. is it worthwhile for me to chase the lands, or is the...

    Advanced Marksmanship Zero from bench is different to zero from prone?

    Re: Zero from bench is different to zero from prone? As i think back to my shooting from the bench vs. prone, i realized one more thing - my shooting from the bench was done with my prescription reading glasses, while my i used my prescription sunglasses when shooting prone... I wonder if it...

    CO Rifle Club (CRC) Long Range Precision Rifle

    Re: CO Rifle Club (CRC) Long Range Precision Rifle Hi Guys - looking forward to this weekend's match! Is it at all possible to have some shooters sight in before the match? Would that be allowed at this range (not sure if we could do it on the Shillouette range...?)

    Advanced Marksmanship Zero from bench is different to zero from prone?

    To those with many more years of experience than I: I have recently experienced 2 instances of different points of impact with the same rifle, same ammo. I zero'd the gun from the bench at 100 yards, then shot the next week in a prone position. The P.O.I. had shifted 3 mils down and 3 mils...

    Brighton CO LRPR match

    Re: Brighton CO LRPR match Just a quick question regarding the format of the match: I understand that the targets are placed in a crescent shape anywhere from 250 to 600 yards... Do the shooters know the exact distance to each target? Or is that left up to your range estimation skills?
