    Training Courses Wolf Precision's Long Range Shooting School in Somerset, PA - 2020 registration is open!

    Is there an option to use our own rifle/ammo? I am shopping around for classes in PA but i would prefer to use my own rifle and handloads as that is what I will be using when I leave the class.

    Steel Target Hit Indicator Testing

    I am developing a device that will detect hits on steel targets and send a signal to a unit that the shooter has next to him. It will use a microcontroller and and Lora modules to transfer the data to a unit that is next to the shooter and will have a...

    Steel Target Hit Indicator Testing

    Still working on it. I learned a valuable lesson about giving out too much information on what I want to do on an open forum. Others are already looking at turning this into an open source project and selling it themselves.

    Steel Target Hit Indicator Testing

    Hit counter would be easy. Just need to add a display to the station that stays with the judge and have it count each hit, have a reset button to reset the counter between shooters. I am looking at 802.11 LR on a ESP 32 now as people are getting 10KM with a large directional antenna so 1km...

    Thoughts on axis II?

    I dont walk around a lot. I am on the ground but i just sit on a log i find hence the heavy barrel. Simple but it works, dont own hunting land (i get deer in the yard almost every night but the neighbors would get rather upset if i shot one.) So i cant build a stand.

    Thoughts on axis II?

    I am picking up a budget deer rifle and i don't have a 6.5 creedmore yet so that is the caliber I am going with. Other than the stock are there any glaring issues with a heavy barrel axis ii rifle for primarily hunting and occasional target fun out to 1000?(different scope for each purpose of...

    How do I stop pick and pluck rifle cases from falling apart?

    take out the foam, toss your soft case in the hard case, then when you get to where you are going you don't have to deal with hauling around a hard case (saw it on james yeager's channel)

    arduino / Raspberry PI anyone good with this stuff?

    this method will get you past 1000 yards. Since a hit is only a binary 1 or 0 data transfer rate won't be an issue (unless you want to use a camera module.

    arduino / Raspberry PI anyone good with this stuff?

    *disclaimer* This post is scatter brained because I was brainstorming as i was typing. You could use an esp8266 or esp 32 as your MCU for your sensor downrange and use the WiFi function to send the signal back to another MCU at your shooting position and have it light up a led or set off a...

    Hornady April 24, 2019 something

    Nothing for us 308 folks for now i guess. At the price i will stick with the ELD-Ms for now anyway even if i could buy them in 168-175. I was buying 168 ELD-Ms from bigdaddyunlimited for 26 bucks a box of 100.

    Match 308 Ammo

    depending on how far you shoot I would stick with the GMM with the match kings. (in my gun at least) you have to handload in order to get good results from secant ogive bullets. SMKs are tangent and from my experience very jump friendly so factory loaded ammo works well
