    Advanced Marksmanship The effect of free recoil on POI

    Re: The effect of free recoil on POI I am a newbie, so take it or leave it... but I first noticed how free recoil affects my shots when shooting my .308 from a bench. I noticed I could practically hit the same hole at 100 yards when I applied rearward pressure with my firing hand to lock...

    Re: Sloppy training with a .22 Good points about recoil. I'll focus on that. Nate

    Sloppy training with a .22

    Re: Sloppy training with a .22 This discussion has been good for my marksmanship. Now I hold the .22 firm with my right hand, rearward pressure with smaller 3 digits. I try to get cheek weld and sight picture same as with .308. I am focusing on keeping good trigger squeeze and keeping eyes...

    Sloppy training with a .22

    Re: Sloppy training with a .22 Shot at 200 yards yesterday. Humbling. It was fun to see the impacts and adjust.

    Sloppy training with a .22

    Re: Sloppy training with a .22 I shoot often out to 125 yards with my .22. I had a duplex reticle, which sucked for this, but recently switched to a mildot for better repeatability of holdovers. I confess I haven't done carfully controlled tests. I notice no difference between free...

    Subsonic Speed and Temperature

    Re: Subsonic Speed and Temperature I would think humidity would also affect it. I think density is a part of that, so doesn't humidity affect air density? Nate

    Subsonic Speed and Temperature

    I noticed last summer I could fire certain target ammo from my rifle with a suppressor and have a very quiet setup with no sonic crack. I then noticed as the weather got cooler with the same ammo, it started to crack and make lots of noise. I forgot the muzzle velocity 1100-1150 fps? I...

    Sloppy training with a .22

    I did a quick search and found nothing on this topic: I fire a .22 for practice. I find that I can hold it firmly, or let it freely recoil and get similar results. With a "real rifle" like my .308, this doesn't work. With my .308 a firm tug rearward with my shooting hand holds the rifle...

    Advanced Marksmanship how good are you on wind calls

    Re: how good are you on wind calls Best I ever did in wind was 80 yards with a .22...shot a starling from a tree in high wind first shot. Luck? I have tried 300 yards with a .22 - using subsonic ammo. I can hit a 4x8 sheet of plywood. Not much help here from me. I'll know more when I...

    Advanced Marksmanship Cheek Weld

    Re: Cheek Weld I had to grind some of my cheek pad away to get closer to the centerline of the rifle to get a good cheek weld on my setup. Of course, I don't know if it is best but it seems to relax my neck more because I don't have to cant my head. Nate

    Advanced Marksmanship A simple sling/bipod method

    Re: A simple sling/bipod method +1 for Tactical Intervention sling in modified position. I use the cuff in prone but in the manner the author this post uses his sling, near the elbow - not high on the arm. I'm not a pro, but it seems to work well for me to keep the rifle tucked in tight to...

    Advanced Marksmanship 186000 to 8992

    Re: 186000 to 8992 In my own defense: You are right, knowledge and practice are more important to good shooting, but new equipment is exciting and fun, especially when it is the first time one has handled a quality shooting instrument. I recently built my first real custom rifle, a...

    butler creek caps POS!!!!! any suggestions?

    Re: butler creek caps POS!!!!! any suggestions? My new butler creek occular popped open during hunting because I bumped the red lever, then the cap became a frisbee shortly therafter. I bought another objective cover for my occular. It fits fine. I don't need that goofy red lever, anyway...

    Rifle Scopes Scope covers breaking on NSX

    Re: Scope covers breaking on NSX I'm going to first try an objective cover on my occular before going to bikinis. I like those better, my objective one stays shut better. I am also going to trim the tabs so they don't get bumped and open unless I WANT them open. I broke my occular...

    Rifle Scopes Scope covers breaking on NSX

    Re: Scope covers breaking on NSX Mine broke in the same location. My rear occular cap flipped up during use because I bumped the red thumb button. I then bumped the open cap and it snapped off. I think I'll try the bikinis or scopecoat. Nate

    Re: Cheek Weld with Bell and Carlson I plan to Duracoat the area later to match the other paint. Good idea with the moleskin. Nate

    Advanced Marksmanship Cheek Weld with Bell and Carlson

    Re: Cheek Weld with Bell and Carlson Pics of mod are up. I plan to clean up the "precision ground" area with Duracoat at a later date, after I make sure I have everything the way I like it. The coat of polyurethane keeps the prickly exposed fiberglass from poking my delicate facial skin...

    Check out my "precision" cheekrest modification. It lets me get my eye centered in the scope more easily. Fits me well.
