"Småen", the closer target, is 25cm wide by 30 tall. That's the oval one below. The larger target is the triangular one below. 49cm wide at the base, 33 tall. "1/4", as far as I know, originally refers to 1/4 the size of a full (man size) silhouette. Both targets are normally used at longer...

You'll get ricochets off snow too, if you hit it at a shallow angle.

That's why American soldiers were outgunned in Cuba, right? The Krag is just too darned slow. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhMW_bodQVo That's the only clip I could find, I have seen that same guy shoot much better on other occasions. This is what it is supposed to look like when the...

There is that. And then there is the mid day sun. What was that saying? Mad dogs and Floridians? :) The can of gun oil on my desk next to the computer says it's good for temperatures down to -55 C. That's -65 in King George. It doesn't get that cold where I live, if it did I guess I would...

You could send it to one of the 12 year old girls in this picture... :p

Before I was three. Small pocket knife with a blade and a cork screw. I don't think I still have it unless it's at the bottom of some cardboard box somewhere. My mother gave me a Mora, the one with the red wooden handle, either for my 4th birthday or for Christmas a couple of months later...

Of course it's possible. Just because you or I can't do it doesn't mean that someone else can't. 38 hits in 60 seconds is .63 per second. This video shows 17 hits in 25 seconds, .68 per second, or slightly faster. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfY899uNOk0 Different rifle, different...

There was a joke at the time that Cuba was the largest country in the world. The army was in Angola, the government in Moscow, and the population in Miami.

Don't. Hot brass and v-necks just don't mix. :)

His Majesty The King's Guard. (King of Norway, that is.) They are all conscripts, including the musicians. The marching and music is something they do in addition to their primary duty as riflemen.

Heh... I thought all Finns were eccentric. :p Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Not really anything new. Blind shooters have been competing for years in the Paralympics and other such events. Still cool though.

I had a moose four feet from my head last night. They have to walk that close to my bedroom window to get around the corner of the house. I've been close to moose in the woods numerous times, very close a couple of times. Never had a "close call", if by that you mean feeling any real danger...

They shoot at the same targets. Maybe you noticed the difference between the prone and the standing targets. Prone they have to hit the center part of the target (3 minutes of angle), when shooting standing the whole of the aiming black is the target (bit under 8 moa). No difference between men...

Your idea might have been considered innovative - if you lived in Norway 300 years ago. :) Some of the first organized "biathlon" type competitions did involve shooting on the move although the target was stationary. The winner was whoever could make the best hit on a man-sized target at 50...

Guys, he probably doesn't care if it's imported into the US or not. He gives his location as Italy. Most of if not all of the European manufacturers have the caliber in their lineup, in some model or other. Probably a lot easier to import stuff into Italy than to the US too. O_Blade_O...

Yes. But this time someone actually searched for information, and then asked a question in an appropriate thread, even if it was a zombie-thread. Welcome to THR, drjerdc! I don't know if it helps, but the company is still going strong. You could try to e-mail them. If they still have old...

Cosmo, would you like some cheese with your whine? :D Funny you should use the word villain. But I guess that's how millions and millions of Americans view the shooting sports. Well, yes. Maybe. There are a lot of gun owners in the US. There are not a lot of shooters at the level we are...

Cosmoline, it's certainly a bigger sport here. Sunday's biathlon had about the same TV rating here as you had for your latest Superbowl. But then our annual national rifle matches get several hours of TV coverage every summer - prime time on our largest channel. And ratings that in American...
