While out on the range yesterday, I noticed a shooter with a Service Rifle. He saw that I too was shooting a Service Rifle; and, we began a conversation. He told me he had just purchased his rifle and was practicing for HP Competition. Making a long story short, his practice did not appear to me...

I've come to believe minimizing the rifle bore's inconsistent angle of arc while executing the firing tasks, through proper control of the rifle, is the most important thing to good shooting, after the fundamentals have been mastered. I believe this is indeed the SECRET to getting the best...

All, The proper implemention of the elements and factors of a steady position, it seems to me, cannot be fully recognized when the novice shooter begins his marksmanship journey with a bipod and rear bag. Shooting from the unsupported position will reveal, with practice, the importance for...

Observing my students who are new to the concept of marksmanship, I frequently see them unconsciously steering the rifle to the target as they build their position. For these shooters the target has become a distraction to good shooting. Once the target has distracted them, that's to say, they...

Where were you? Coaching at this years rifle phase of the United States Army Marksmanship Unit's Small Arms Firing School I expected to see some posters here taking advantage of an opportunity to get off to a really good start in their quest of good shooting. As I understand it 750 folks...

Marksmanship begins with comprehension of sight alignment and trigger control; yet, to run with these concepts, and everything else that supports those principles, seems to me the shooter needs to know how to think critically. It appears, however, that some shooters know nothing about critical...

In my occupation I run into folks every day who want to get into LR shooting. They've seen programs on Cable TV about shooting which have inspired them to look into getting a long range rifle outfit. These folks typically do not have any basic marksmanship training; yet, they don't think there's...

We just received several Vortex Razor HD riflescopes at the store where I work part-time in Louisville. One is a 5-20x50 EBR- 2 MRAD. Right now, I'm displying it on a Remington 700 .338 Lapua. Thing is, I have no experience with the brand. Any here have an impression for this brand or for the...

I had the pleasure last Saturday, during the rifle phase of the SAFS, to be a line coach for two firing points. Some might not call spending 10 hours on the range in 92 degree heat, attempting to help 10 folks just starting their HP journey a pleasure, but, for sure, it was a joy. My fellow...

Yesterday, someone on the range showed me his 100 yard group. One shot on the target was penned a "called flier". Thing is, this "shooter" didn't know anything about calling shots. Conversation revealed he had just marked the target as he had seen it done before, sort of a monkey see, monkey do...
