WELCOME TO THE GAME! As you have already found out, HP shooters are about the friendliest people with guns your likely to encounter. Sounds like you are well on your way to learning the lessons HP can teach. And , BTW, I LOVE STANDING! SRM

Monster: Look at 3p or 4p rifle, highpower, palma, bullseye pistol, or silhouette. Some have "speed" phases, but precision and accuracy is still paramount. One miss in the rapidfire stages and you are an "also ran". "Action" games are more lenient on where the shot goes (usually bigger...

"You can't miss fast enough to win" comes from people and games that place a value on accuracy. Other games place more value on speed or other aspects. You have to play by the rules to win, but if winning isn't your goal, play SAFELY by your own rules. It is shooting, don't sweat the little...

WOW Jon! I tried to make it, but the snow contributed to a traffic accident. By the time they got it cleared I was an hour and half late. Can the pits affect your scores? Sure, especially if you let it. Another rapidfire string? Cool, I get to shoot more than anyone else! Slow pit...

Start by building your position....preferably with another shooter at hand. Arrange your mat. Put on your glove and coat, but leave the coat loose. Put your face on the stock and your stock in your shoulder. Now arrange your lega,knees and feet to support your elbows. Cant if needed...

OUTSTANDING! IIRC Missoula used to have a great indoor/outdoor range for smallbore in East Missoula. I have heard they have a great Highpower range as well. Might talk to Dan Lilja up in Plains, he might be able to help and spread the word. As one of the better known barrel makers, he has...

LOL Jon, if you won't tell the story, I will! You have to admit, there are a number of people who will remember that day for a long time. And you gotta know that Spring won't be here for months, so I haven't practiced. The match is yours for the taking. My goal? I just don't want to use...

Hey Jon, I know a guy that did the exact same thing! What a loser! See ya on the line (if it ever warms up enough for you......)

WELCOME TO THE GAME! Just get to the line and shoot. I started with a Colt A2. It took me to expert with a few master scores thrown in. The targets are very generous for most ARs compared to Garands or rack grade M1A. See ya on the line! SRM

And Bill Wylde's response Posted By: Bill Wylde Date: Thursday, 13 November 2003, at 8:46 a.m. In Response To: Re: .223 Wylde The case dimensions of the Wylde reamer are that of one of the NATO prints. Not a thing tight about it. As I recall, there were two NATO prints in use. I don't...

First, WELCOME TO THE GAME! Second, regarding a rifle, you need one. Specifically, it needs iron sights and be able to quickly reload at least five rounds. An A3 is a good start, but you will be making changes within a year. If you really want to continue with this sport, these guys won't...

The wylde chamber was designed by Bill Wylde as an ultra-reliable match chamber. It utilizes a standard .223 body chamber with a difference in the neck IIRC. It is commonly used by several custom smiths to provide enhanced accuracy and reliability for service rifle competition. HTH....SRM

Great news! Glad to see there were some other shooters to make up for your shooting, Steve :neener: Congrats to all the shooters! SRM

The .308 is the standard cartridge for palma shooting. With a scope, it will be an "F" class rifle. Palma is shot from prone at 800,900 and 1000 yards. The rifle mentioned will be regarded as a "starter" rifle. You might want to consider metallic silhouette. MS is shot from standing...

Kevin: They are not difficult to make. I don't have deep pockets, but I do have short hands, so I made my own. If you go with thin aluminum, it is possible to overload them. My current version is still a work in progress (like my scope stand) but it is functional and requires common tool...

Well, almost everyone in CO has accused Steve of having pockets full of sand for years.......;) Congrats Steve, Jon and 481. Looks like 481 did OK in the leg as well. SRM

Dry fire and practice. There are no easy ways to buy points assuming your equipment is acceptable. Every shot is an individual match. Don't worry about the shot that is gone, there is nothing you can do about it. Don't worry about the next shot, it doesn't matter. The only one that...

But Steve, wasn't that you in the stylish palma hat last Saturday?? SRM:D

JC, I gotta work the next couple of weekends :mad: But I plan on making a weekend of it on the 17th/18th IF I can find some Viht N135 (I'll use RL 15 if I can't) and IF I can dust off the reloading bench. See ya on the line Steve, If you think your gonna get any points this...

Steve, are you shooting the standing and reduced course championships? SRM
