    Trigger thumb alongside stock or traditional/across the top?

    I was referring to some of my basic pistol students getting lazy with the support hand and having their support thumb rise up behind the slide. I usually catch it, but one lady learned the hard way.

    Weather station readings more accurate in shade or direct sunlight?

    Think about the difference between free air, and the air just above the runway where your engine and airfoils are operating. It's kind of like that. If you can put your device under some kind of shield, you will have a better idea of the ambient temps, as opposed to what the baking effect of the...

    Trigger thumb alongside stock or traditional/across the top?

    I started using the thumb over position, then gradually evolved into the aligned along the top position. My biggest problem is pulling back on the trigger, without squeezing it, sort of pulling the stock into the shoulder with the trigger. It's been a bear to stop that crap. I'm doing better...

    comparisons ballistic programs

    I started using Shooter recently. I'm new to this long range stuff, so it's been a lot of personal time in searching out answers to millions of questions I have. I did find that after shooting a LOT of rounds today, at 200, 400 and 500, (after confirming my zero at 100yds), inputting my...

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    You know, there's been a lot of noise lately about the feds wanting to eliminate the "trust" route for NFA items, has it occurred to anyone else that maybe they're dragging their feet so they can shut it down? I hope not, mine's been in the system for 9 months now.

    Range Report M1 Garand at 1000 yards

    Geez, I'd assumed you had NM sights on that rifle. Nice shooting! My M1 is fantastic with the GI sights, but I've been tempted to try NM sights on it, maybe I don't have to. I can't imagine what you'd do with a match trigger and narrower post/smaller aperture!

    Suppressors Is "potato gun" code for anything other than a launcher of actual potatoes?

    An actual potato gun must be approved by BATFE. See 18 USC 922(x) B17 for reference. Little known fact.

    Tell me what I'm doing wrong or is it just my rifle

    Sometimes you'll see that when a barrel warms up.

    College Budget Rifle

    I just replaced the Rem trigger on my new rifle with a Timney, never even shot the Rem, couldn't get the Rem under 4.5lbs! And, the break was more like granite than glass. The Timney is set for 2lbs and it's like buttah! I've spent too much time with decent triggers to do that stock Rem thing. I...

    new one from Colorado

    Hi, all! Just getting into long range shooting, i.e. over 600yds and with something other than iron sights. I've done some NRA high-power stuff with a NM AR15, now it's time to go to 1000. I must say this site is chock full of info for a beginner! That will come in handy for this old fart...
