    Sidearms & Scatterguns Target camera for pistol shooting?

    Does anyone use the Bullseye Target Cam https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1020849881 or similar device for spotting hits on paper when shooting pistol from 25 yds and closer? Hear me out on this. I shoot at a public range with mostly rifle shooters shooting slow fire (ie. not able to check...

    Group size as a measure of ammo precision

    Specifically inquiring about rimfire but I guess this applies to centerfire as well. When comparing different brands of ammo in terms of precision, why do we measure group size as a whole instead of just the vertical dispersion? Isn’t anything pushing the POI left or right a consequence of rifle...

    SME WiFi spotting scope cam

    Anyone tried this? https://www.shootingmadeeasy.com/spot_shot/ I shoot predominantly alone but want the ability to spot my shots on steel. I have an SME target cam (the one-mile version) and it is fine but I hate the hassle of setting up the camera down range. I even had it shot to bits once “by...

    Hi guys, Anyone know where it’s listed in the Applied Ballistics bullet library? Can’t find it on my Kestrel 5700 Elite. Thanks Nap

    NOT wearing prescription lenses and parallax

    Hi guys, When not wearing prescription lenses (because it’s more comfortable), is parallax compromised? I have already adjusted the diopter properly to account for my eyes without glasses and note that I still see some wiggle between target and reticle when moving my head but I don’t know if I...

    Truing MV and BC on an inclined range

    The range near me is on an incline (see pic). When truing MV at 500 yds and BC at 800, does the degree of incline affect the accuracy of these measurements? I do use the horizontal distance on my LRF, not the LOS distance, but something tells me that the incline may still be an unaccounted...

    Rifle Scopes Reticle that toggle on/off?

    Anyone know why scopes can’t be made with reticles that can be toggled on/off (not referring to illuminating it)? Wouldn’t it be useful for when you want a clear field of view or better yet, being able to choose from a variety of reticles in a single scope? I don’t know the mechanics of how...

    Episode 70 - wind call

    Does this method (BC method using wind brackets) replace the Kestrel for dialing wind AT THE SHOOTER? Or is it used for wind DOWNRANGE? If it is meant for wind downrange, then what is the yardage they are referring to when they say “eg. .5 mil at 500yds, .6 at 600 yds, etc.”, is it the...

    Episode 70- where do you get initial wind hold?

    In this episode, they start off with a .5mil wind hold for 5mph at 500yards. Since it is caliber - specific, they use another caliber as an example at 39:15 in the podcast. That wind hold is 0.4 (for the 6br) - How did they get the number 0.4?

    Technique for shooting off RRS Anvil-30 with TFCT-34 tripod

    How do you all adjust the tension on the Anvil-30? Do you loosen it and adjust until you center the reticle and then clamp it down to full tension? I am finding it hard to get my point of aim down exactly where I want it this way. Or do you keep the tension lever partially loose and rely on...

    No ability to enter Sight Scale Factor in Kestrel 5700 elite with AB software

    Given how important doing a tall target test is for a scope, why hasn’t Applied Ballistics included this feature in the Kestrel? Seems like doing this calculation with every firing solution would get cumbersome, especially in a competition setting with unknown distance targets.

    Size of target when practicing with I.O.T.A. dry fire training device

    Does anyone know how to determine how big your target is when using an I.O.T.A.? I use the power point presentation available for the 6.5 Guys, as well as some hand drawn targets on paper. However, I can’t tell how big to draw them to make them a 1 MOA size target for example.

    recoil management on barricade

    I am using a rifles only sling (with bungee): I place my support hand on the rifle forend where it rests on the barricade and then extend the support arm out to fully locked position to create tension with the sling. When doing this: 1. Am I still leaning forward in order to load the bipod? (I...

    watching mirage with parallax turned back

    Hi all, When shooting alone (without spotter), I don't know what to do with parallax. First, I adjust parallax so that the reticle and target are on the same plane. Then I dial the parallax back (closer to the shooter) to get a look at the mirage approximately 2/3 downrange. At that point, do...

    Advanced Marksmanship IOTA target

    hey everyone, just got the IOTA (indoor optical training aid). Does anyone know of a website/resource for a good wallpaper that can be displayed on a laptop/iPad that can function as a target? For example, how about a picture of a steel target at a known distance. Or better yet, a video which...
