    Forged 51200 custom knife(pic)

    This is a set recently made for me by a great guy and wonderful maker named Bill Buxton. This big knife and its little brother were hand forged from 51200 carbon steel. Cyro-treated and in my mind are functional works of art. The big blade is 15 inches overall with a 10 inch full convex...

    Trigger problem when shooting fast...

    As I increase the tempo of my shooting I begin to push the rounds directly to the left at the 8:30 to 9:00 side of the target. If I slow back down the shots return to center. This happens with any gun I shoot. Any suggestions for trigger drills or grip changes to combat this bad habbit?
