    Rifle champion now Soldier of the Year

    For the record, I wouldn't wink tiddlys against the Army Marksmanship Unit's Sherri Gallagher. The outcome wouldn't be hard to predict. She's accustomed to competing. And winning. She's been shooting since she was three, competing -and winning - at shooting competitions all her life and is...

    Baffling Tales from the Range

    I shot a friend's AK a while back, got a one-hole group at 100 yards. ;) Second shot screwed it all up.:scrutiny:

    Southern Arizona: tell me about it.

    Sierra Vista is a nice town with a large military contingent at Fort Huacucha (sp?) on the edge of town. Military members are well treated in town. Elevation is about 4000' IIRC, with occasional snow falls in the winter time but not bad, and summers cooler than most of Southern AZ. There...

    Shooting setup for in-garage shooting practice?

    Why not get a GOOD air rifle? It will shoot rings around your .22, it is nice and quiet, you dont need much for a backstop (magazines work fine,) inexpensive to shoot even with match grade pellets, no lead in the air to worry about, MUCH MUCH more safe for everyone involved.

    The For Sale Pitch of "Rare"

    "They aint makin' these any more" "Only a few made" "They're gonna quit makin' these next month" "That aint a very high price for it, it's a collectors item" "You must be new to gun collecting" "I've only seen one other like it in 28 years of selling at gun shows"

    Differences in .22LR ammo at Walmart.

    Friends dont let friends shoot Remington .22 ammo-just awful. The other two in the OP are pretty good for what they're for.

    I don't understand people like this.

    A question for some of you older gentlemen (and ladies)

    In 1976 I was stationed in Sacramento, my 8th grade son got one of those kits to build a flintlock pistol. He got permission from his shop teacher to use it for a shop project at school. He polished and blued the barrel, polished out the brass castings, finished and fitted the stock, got...

    Scope Sight Picture

    It is the "eye relief", that is, the distance from your eye to the rear lens that was causing you the problem. When you buy a scope, it should be mounted so when you move the rifle up to your shoulder to shoot, the scope picture is naturally centered without any black around the edges...
