Good use of the dog though. Did the moose meat get left behind for the ravens?

paid full asking price My best deal ever was on a very nice Anschutz 22LR rifle, mounted with a decent scope, that I got to bring home and shoot on a trial basis at 6 separate silhouette matches. The seller was an acquaintance. I musta put 1000 rounds through it over the trial period. Being...

Thanks Trent. Sounds like a well thought out mat.

22 is still my overall favorite. It's also the round that has most helped me build some transferable skills.

Will follow your thread; thanks for posting this question.

few mat questions Great story Trent. Good thing that wasn't super-glued in place, you'd never have been able to board an aircraft, ever again. Seems like you didn't run the clock out though. As to these Midway mats, are they inflatable open-cell foam like a Thermarest camping pad, or are...

building up to an acceptable wobble Since higher magnification increases the sense that the reticle is wandering, a variable power scope can become a useful training tool for offhand shooting. For instance with a 6-18x scope, at 6x most would agree wobble is barely noticeable. Crank it right...

Yeah, a nice stable of high end or tricked-out 22s would be very nice to have, and fun too: bolts, levers, pumps, semis, tacticool stocks and classic wood stocks, irons, peeps, high end target scopes..... Lots of eye candy. Steelchickens.com is a great website about all things rimfire...

ouch, you've really been through the wringer. Just had a tear so a quick fix, maybe a 5 minute procedure. On my own instincts I gave up the weekly Trap meet and went down 2 rifle caliber sizes for hunting. I don't want to risk another tear, end up detached and going through what you did...

Have you had surgery to repair the damage, and what did your doctor advise?

Armored, those are seagull poo marks on the shelter's roof, right? Or are they..... ;)

Slickly done

using a bipod... I am wondering if working up a load from a bipod is the most consistent way to test loads. The general idea is to minimize the effects of variability in shooter input or shooter error from each shot's flight path. A set of heavy shooting bags can do that very consistently...

Winchester Super-X 55gr PSP do very well.
