Thank you.

I've got an old Kestrel that just does atmospherics, no ballistics and have been paying attention trying to guess things for years. Whenever I get to the range and look at unknown distance targets I try to guess the distance before I point my rangefinder at it. I also try to guess the density...

I got to see the Kestrel in the flesh for the first time at a PRS Rimfire match a couple of weeks ago. I own the CED and the Pact. As far as I'm concerned the PACT has always been the king of shot timers when it comes to practicing on your own. The belt clip, big button, and top mounted...

Hi all, over the last few days, I've been reading up on this as best I can. I'm pretty confident that I know how the math works. I've been running numbers with the chart presented in this post. https://www.snipershide.com/precision-rifle/alternate-range-weaponized-math/ However, I still...

Is there a way to work this system with a 50 yard zero? I’ve just been using that for so long, it’s instinctive. Also, it seems to be what you zero at at all the competitions. Thank you all for your wisdom. Like I have said in other posts, I am a fairly experienced competitive shooter, but...

Ha ha, I don’t think there’s much chance of that. I shot my first PRS rimfire last week, in upstate New York. It went about as planned. I shot reasonably well inside 200 yards but was nowhere near the 260 yard target Because of my past experience with DPA, I was fine shooting on the clock. I...

Would it be correct to say that this method assists you in interpolating your dial up when you have actual measurements at several points? A separate question, but with respect to long range 22 long rifle, are there multipliers available in 5 yard increments? Or can they be derived?

I know the physics doesn't change, but I just want to confirm that this works with .22 LR?? Thanks

I've got an Athlon Ares 4.5-30 x 56 and a Sightron S3. The Sightron has great glass and seems to track well. But above 16x I find the eye box to be very very small. It may be because its only a 50mm objetive and the exit pupil is smaller at a given magnification than the Athlon. But it...

Good luck. I hope everything goes smoothly. I'm hoping to hit a few of your events this summer. p.s. I'm the guy that bought your 457.

THANK YOU!!

Hi all, I was on a CZ457 group and I posted that I was looking for a CZ MTR barrel. A gentleman replied that is company was offering a great deal on a barrelled action. It seems too good to be true. Has anyone dealt with them? Thanks, Don...

Well, the competition went well. I made one chart with both my calculated DOPE and the chart in the link provide above. My actuals matched the numbers for Aguila at 100 and 200 pretty close. So I used that data and trimmed it a bit. This is the chart I used. My data was at a density...

Thanks all. The course of fire for the match is out and 5 yard increments would be good. I'm shooting Eley Tenex because it's always shot well through the rifle and is available. It may not be the best but I know it's good out to 200 yards. It's good to know that the inputs may be off. If...

Hmm. It looks like snipers hide gravity ballistics might work. I love to give money to people I like. Thoughts

Hi all. I'm going into my first PRS 22 match unprepared. I've got some match experience doing other things, but know enough to know that I don't know. I normally try to begin shooting a given gun game with basic equipment so I can focus on fundamentals. In this case that means a...

I just posted about an amazing customer service experience I had with Athlon. Their stuff is also high value and seems to work well. Granted it was a shipping problem, not a product problem. But I was able to speak with an empowered, empathetic and professional person within 30 seconds of...

Hi all, I just thought I'd share a customer service experience I just had with Athlon Optics. I posted earlier this week asking about the quality of the product and explaining that I was able to get some excellent deals on their optics. I decided to buy two of their scopes through an...

Steve, Thank you. I think the .2 mil hashes off the center are worth having a very marginally larger dot. Great point.

Now we're splitting hairs. AFPRS1 or AfPRS6 reticle. The S1 has more numbers and a .03 moa center dot. The S6 has fewer numbers and a .05 moa center dot. I'm thinking the smaller center dot
