    action shooting match scoring help

    I'm his friend that runs the matches with him. The real issue is we had one person that isn't doing as well as he'd thought, and found a flaw in our system. The average run time of each course is around 65 seconds with a total amount of 25 hits available. Minus 2 seconds for hits. One person...

    Please please please help. brass stretching too much.

    Straight to the point. I have begun collecting brass to start reloading for .223 to shoot in my AR15. I am new to reloading, but I have read enough and watched people enough to feel comfortable doing it myself. I went out and bought an RCBS small base .223/5.56 die set. I set it up just like...

    Rifle Scopes Just me venting about my inability to make decisions

    Right now is one of those times I wish I had more friends that are involved in the shooting sports. I'm having a terribly difficult time deciding if I should purchase an Aimpoint H-1 or Eotech 516. I'm well aware of the pros and cons of both, and just wish I had some friends that owned both...

    best place to buy bullets

    Hey guys. Since I'm still new to this whole LR shooting thing, I don't know of the best places to go to get great deals on equipment. I'm going to start reloading for my rifle and I'm curious where you all prefer to shop for your bullets.

    shooting glasses?

    Hey folks. I've recently been shooting a lot of steel with pistol and rifle, and have been relying on standard safety glasses as eye protection. Not only do they not look cool, I'm not sure if they are recommended for shooting. Does anybody have any suggestions of shooting glasses I can take a...

    anybody have experience with a big bore AR?

    I appreciate the input. I was planning On buying it for a novelty piece. To bring out to the range every now and again. Being that my pockets aren't that deep, I would hope to keep the round count down to maybe 800 rounds a year. I'm glad to hear everybody enjoyed theirs. I am torn between...

    anybody have experience with a big bore AR?

    I'm contemplating buying an AR in 458 socom, 50 beowulf, or 450 bushmaster. Does anybody have first hand experience with one of these? So far my biggest problem is the lack of factory ammo AVAILABLE for any of the caliber. I can't seem to find any. Not that I wouldn't mind reloading. Just...

    Range Report HSM Ammo will not group.

    That's kinda what I was thinking. That ammo, and my rifle, just aren't friends. I know that every trigger press, I had enough confidence that I wasn't yanking shots that much at 100 yds. And as I said, my gunsmith who built the rifle for me, was getting .25 moa with two test groups of 5 rounds...

    Range Report HSM Ammo will not group.

    I have the tools to reload. But I bought a bunch of HSM 260 ammo loaded with 142 smk to shoot so I have fire formed brass to use when I start loading. My first range trip the ammo WOULD NOT group. And just this weekend my first 5 shots grouped at 1moa (which I feel was acceptable for the price I...

    dry fire practice . . .

    Howdy folks. I will be picking up my "custom R700" soon. With winter right around around the corner, I was wondering if anybody on here would like to share some of their dry fire exercises with me? I will still be shooting in the winter, just not nearly as much. Any thoughts/recommendations...

    mini red dot mounted way out front???

    So, one thing everybody can agree on, is that I should stay away from the RMR type micro red dots, and lean towards an aimpoint t1 style? Maybe a Vortex Sparc? Any other suggestions?

    mini red dot mounted way out front???

    Yep, you got it. LoL. Like I said, it's one of those theoretical things that floated through my cranium. Ha ha ha ha.

    mini red dot mounted way out front???

    My thought process = 1) better peripheral vision. 2) faster target acquisition because of number 1. It's just the way my brain thinks. LoL.
