    Some ammo accuracy sharing and a "betcha ain't seen one of these before"

    In between lulls in the shooters waiting to shoot I dug an old project out I'd experimented with a few years ago. After hearing a buddy telling a couple of other competitors about it I dug deep into the vault and retrieved it. I had only shot the old Wolf Target in it but it shot amazing well. I...

    Results July 2024 Topstraps Rimfire Challenge

    What a great weekend for a match. Other than some crazy wind coming out of nowhere on Sunday afternoon it was beautiful and calm conditions. A lot of great scores were shot but those that battled thru the wind on Sunday endured some wild conditions. I had to let some have extra sighter shots...

    Results June 2024 Topstraps Rimfire Challenge

    The June match was much nicer weather wise than May with having no rain at all but the winds were higher. Friday was terrible, the tops of the trees were going back and forth at least 6 ft and all the trees down both sides of the range were just swirling all different directions. The ones that...

    Hammerli Force B1 - Finally a cheap, but nice, 22 PRS gun?

    Handled one a buddy bought. Cycling the action reminded me of opening the rear doors of a semi trailer. No smoothness whatsoever compared to an Izhmash 7-2. Multiple shooters tried shooting it with deplorable accuracy. It went down the road quickly. Hammerli should be ashamed, it'll fool a lot...

    make me a pro shooter, help needed lol

    I just received mine and haven't tried it yet but based on what Rodney says about his new patent pending rimfire suppressor. He says he has well over 1000 rounds thru it and looks like the day it was installed. Here is a link to his video. Topstrap

    Tall Target Test for Precision .22LR?

    Always do that test, we do it at 35 yards. It eliminates Mother Nature. We'll run it up the line till the scope tops out or run out of paper then dial back down the same and you have twice the holes to make sure it's tracking perfectly up the line. We use feeler guages between the mount and...

    Short testimony with Arken scopes

    I've been a big fan of Arken scopes for quite a while since a shooting buddy (Randy Wise) showed me his first one. Nearly all my longrange rimfire competition guns and a couple 1000 yard CF guns wear them. I posted this response to a PM from another person that just received his new Arken and...

    200 yards with rimfire

    A buddy, my Son and I tried some of this a few weeks ago, granted I didn't go thru boxes of it but out thru 250 yards I wouldn't use it in any type of longrange match. It started to get a little bit better at 300 but R50 and Lapua Super Long Range made it look about like CCI std. Mine went up...

    D.I.Y. Rear Bags

    Here is one I've been making for fellow competitors. Got a roll of WW II military canvas. Using heavy thread used on sails for ocean sailboats. Tough as hell and canvas texture is perfect. Just roll to change adjustment, won't tear like most bags. Canvas has frayed edges but won't fray...

    Turning a O moa base into a 20 or 30 moa base ?

    Iron Element ELR rimfire match results

    First two distances were 6" the rest were 12". I forgot to add that it had rained the day before and with the wet backstop if you missed the target there was a good chance the spotter could not see your shot. Topstrap

They shoot 7 shots at each distance, I'm not sure of the scoring but first round hits are worth more...

    To those who say lower cost guns aren't "accurate"..

    They are kinda clunky, don't always eject but for the money they are a great gun. My Son has a lot of customs and they are so silky smooth. Topstrap

    April Topstraps Rimfire Challenge Canceled

    Due to the neverending rain the past couple of weeks and the forecast for this coming week I've decided to cancel my April Topstraps Rimfire Challenge. The ground is saturated and has water lying everywhere. The lower half of the range flooded from the two creeks converging down at the 150 yard...
