    First ever try at indoor bullseye!

    If it is not a complete tear, you can recover over tine with just PT. There should be lots of PT info for this on YouTube. I tore my right one about 20 years ago playing racketball (couldn't pick up a full cup of coffee), and it took 6 months to get back to playing, and a couple years for one...

    Days Like This...

    I'm just down the road from you (in the little Belts), with same current outdoor scene. Buying a snowblower a few years ago was a big improvement (which I resisted too long). Getting a good airgun (pistol or rifle as you desire) allows indoor shooting year round with very little backstop needed.

    "Real World" cheap/bulk 22LR ammunition comparison

    This MAY have been from the loose nut, BUT it also may show the possibility of accidentally getting the worst five rounds in the box in the first group and the best five rounds in the second group. This is why at lest thirty rounds are needed to make assumptions that are 90% valid.

    Trapshooting... really got me down

    Perhaps you quit mentally focusing on shooting the one bird in front of you, and were thinking of the string results. I told my juniors they could not shoot a 100 prone, only a ten on ten consecutive shots.

    What did you shoot today?

    Model 1885 Winchester, .22 rimfire, 50 rounds for record on the Wyoming Schuetzen Union Postal League targets. Will score them later, and send score to the match coordinator. I think it is my best week this year, but not up to prior years. Dang birthdays keep adding up and making offhand...

    Anyone else find they were more sensitive to recoil after losing weight?

    As several have said, a recoil pad helps, but it is not just the padding. You may need the slight extra length of stock to fit your new body shape. Length of pull was one of the primary factors in getting fully adjustable target rifles to allow the shooter to perform their best. Once I made a...

    Sports that attract new shooters.

    VERY few shooters "might like to compete" or they would be doing so. Most shooters do not have to self image to "shoot THEIR best" while others shoot better (and Win), and still compete. Those shooters want to WIN (or be among the top placers) and have respect of other shooters WITHOUT doing...

    First Serialized Firearms?

    My Remington 1894 12ga (built 1909) and 1885 Winchester (built 1912) both have serial numbers, but 1939 built Remington 341p rifle does not. Some used serial numbers before they were mandatory, some did not.

    Front rest placement

    Make sure the fore-end is in the same place for every shot, and cannot touch the sling swivel during recoil.

    Who regularly shoots a gun older than they are??

    I shoot my 1885 Winchester once a week from Oct to April (indoor Schuetzen league), and a few time each Summer. It was built in 1909.

    Taurus GX4 Recall ... just got my pistol back. Something that stuck me as I opened the package.

    Did you notify Taurus? They can't fix problems they don't know about.

    Permitless Open Carry is Now Legal in 30 States.

    Not quite. It is still illegal in Florida, as they allow permit-less concealed carry only. IMHO open carry is a tactical mistake, saying"shoot me first".

    I thought Interest Balancing was out? - So much for in common use

    You might want to read Article 3, Section 2 of the US Constitution which severely limits the cases in which SCOTUS has original jurisdiction, and in all other cases limits it to appellate jurisdiction.

    I thought Interest Balancing was out? - So much for in common use

    You have completely missed the point, which is that the judiciary DOES NOT make rules, but only determines if the rules made are constitutional or not. It is the legislature's place to make the laws. SCOTUS can only take cases that are "ripe" due to conflicting decisions in at least two of the...
