    PRS Talk Any prone target exercises i can do at the local range to improve my skills.... without barriers or other stage presentations?

    Are there any prone target exercises i can do at the local range to improve my skills….. The range i’m generally shoot at goes up to 300 yards but has no barricades or other stage presentations, just a paper target stand and we can only shoot prone or on a bench. While I think they’ll allow a...

    This is somewhat of a hypothetical question ....let's say i have a rifle that is shooting great and i want to establish and record the torque values for future reference so that if the screws ever loosen i can return them to this previous established optimal setting. Is there a...

    Just picked up some pretty darn decent yet inexpensive tires, Milestar MS932 XP+

    Was reading the Goodyear post recently and it reminded me i needed some new tires on our 2008 sedan. We rarely drive the car but i still wanted to be safe. We live in a very mild somewhat arid climate region, we never see snow and get very little rain. I checked Costco Tire first and they had...

    Movie Theater Looking for recommendations for truly great current or at least relatively recent movies

    There was a time when i went to the theatre with great regularity, joy and promise. i used to love watching films by Kurosawa, Hitchcock, Kubrick and others. At University there would often be wonderful film festivals and we were inundated with timeless works of cinematographic art. We would...

    Rifle Scopes Confirming rifle scope tracking…..can it be done without ammunition?

    I was wondering, would it be reasonable to confirm the tracking accuracy of a rifle scope without having to shoot ammunition? It's not so much a matter of using ammunition...but rather it could be effected in a suburban back yard. I thought perhaps measuring out/drawing a 3 MIL x 3 MIL grid...

    Inexpensive shooting bag filler...any particular preference?

    I've been searching the forum and while i haven't seen a consensus i have seen mentioned: rice beans polyfill plastic poly pellets airsoft bbs sand. Wondering which might be preferable. I don't think i'd like to try food. Sand sounds like it would be pretty heavy. Some of the...

    Wanted to thank Mr. Galli

    Jut finished reading the book you recently published. I'm learning a lot and planing to re-read it shortly to further absorb the content. It will serve as a nice reference. Very grateful for this forum as well.

    Is there a system to help identify an appropriate projectile weight for tiny groups on paper at 100-300 yards?

    i'm beginning to appreciate the importance of BC, projectile weight, rifle twist, velocity, quality/consistency (among many other factors) in selecting a long range target projectile. It seems that for long range steel consistent higher velocity and often heavier projectiles are selected to hit...

    ATV type double rifle holder on clearance at Walmart...should be great for Range Cart or ATV

    It's getting tough for me to carry my rifle so i'm building a range cart. I searched Amazon and Cabelas and these are much less expensive. For example, on Amazon this model sells for $75 (https://www.amazon.com/ATV-Tek-FFG2-...004FGTOCU?th=1) I ordered this set for $23.87 (and free shipping for...

    Priming rifle cases…..how do you gauge when a primer pocket is getting too large?

    I currently prime cases on a Forster Co-Ax reloading press. It seems to work very nicely. Every once in a while i can feel when seating a primer that the force required is less than many of the other cases. The case still holds the primer and it looks well seated. I understand that at some...
