Hi Chad: Sounds like your PDF reader is having a challenge with that particular file. This probably won't help, since it is the same file, but here is an attachment you can download direct from this site.

Billings (Yellowstone RIfle Club) can be like shooting in a bowl too. A couple weeks ago there I had 5 flags and two probes set for the 100Yd HV. The target frames are only 3 feet in front of a short berm. At one point all the flag tails and probe pointers were pointing 15mph-hard to the *right*...

To Audrey's chagrin, I've been gathering as much 'official' BR publication info as I could find for a comprehensive NBRSA library. Sort of a definitive place where you could find an article or result. Last summer we picked up a bunch of vintage magazines in Holton. I'll take a look again and...

Looking at the Jewell trigger shows a well polished edge that probably isn't more than .025". I went for about half that on my first modification of the trigger hanger. Most discussions I see on sear engagement are discussing the trigger lever to sear end of the equation, but I can't seem to...

I'm not picking on any specific flag -- I see a lot of home-made flags where the (usually new) shooter goes to extraordinary efforts to showcase his machining/design talents by building his own flags. Ball-bearings in the top pivot, and/or on a daisy wheel-ish spinner. I'm a bit of a minimalist...

I was installing a new trigger in a Bat 3 Lug rail gun and ran into a problem. The old trigger (a Jewell) was working fine, but when I installed the new BixnAndy, the sear height was off just enough that it would only just barely engage the cocking piece if the bolt were slowly and carefully...

The deadline for saving $$ on pre-registration is fast approaching. There is a $40 late fee penalty to register after August 17th 2015. 2015 Group Nationals Registration Form Even if you don't pay ahead, it would be considerate to let Nancy know you are coming! Lots of shooters this year with...

Getting started Hi Phillip, Getting your first "accurate" rifle is really a question of compromises. Many of the folks on this forum shoot competitively -- what I call Benchrest with a capital "B". The closer you get to their level of accuracy and precision, the more you have to drop other...

I shoot over lots of different flags and sell a simple flag design myself. Truth is that most shooters put way too much importance on the flag type, design, and technology. My own opinion is that the worst flags out there are also the most expensive and over-designed ones -- heavy with ball...

Thanks guys, some days the wind blows 'em in. And that barrel loves LT-31 powder. It takes an orchestra to put on a match like that, but a special thanks to Dave T and his family -- they really made a 4 relay event run like clock work. Fast target changes and no delays. It was a weekend to be...

Sticky feet under the legs, and with a bar clamped across the front of the bench top to prevent forward movement. The range at Ault has U-shaped benches, so there isn't quite as much room (side-to-side) to position the base. I think one foot was a touch too near the edge and prone to sliding...

With a tight neck chamber there are a few factors that come together to pick the right bushing. In order, the pieces come like this Neck diameter Bullet diameter Desired Neck Clearance Neck Thickness after turning In the typical 6PPC case it works like this... .262 neck - .243 Bullet = .019...

Larry's performance was nothing short of spectacular. I believe he finished the 10-shot 100/200 with 5 or 6 screamers, a couple in the .2s. Two teen aggs in 10-shot UNL! And it continued while shooting the 5-shot. His only flaw was a gun movement that cost him .7 group in 100 yd 5-shot, and...

Oh, ... I forgot this.... the FIRST most important piece of your equipment: wind flags. Again, don't get too hung up on which ones. Single vane or double, daisy wheels, pinwheel propellors, or not, surveyor tape, sail tails, a custom braided yarn of yak feathers and synthetic spider silk. All...

My Powell has a V-block, I torque it to 60 in-lbs I believe (per the original handwritten instructions I have somewhere). My contribution to the art is to lay a single narrow strip of that 10mil Poly tape along the three contact points in the block. I've used barrels from 25" to 29"... all...

Hi Clint, About ten years ago I was in the same boat... bought out the entire setup of another who got in, tried it, had something happen in his life and decided it wasn't important. I drove home grinning like a cat with a truckload of stuff. Had never heard of tight-necked chambers or Wilson...

I've used the OnTarget app referenced above and spent a lot of time on the phone with the developer. He gave it away for years, but went to $11.99 for version 2. Worth every penny. I've used to validate some of my old targets. It'll teach you why some records aren't records when you score them...

I would like to make one of the Missoula shoots some day, but I've got goals in short-range that are my focus now. Shooting 5 weekends in a row at the moment: Porcupine(Prairie Dog), Ault, Grand Junction, Billings, and Springville. I take a couple weeks off to spend time with friends, then its...

Nbrsa Part of Audrey's DAILY regimen is to wade through dozens of emails and phone messages and make some attempt to respond to everyone. From what I know, most contacts are returned within hours, if not by the next day. The NBRSA number in the magazine rings through to her cell where the...
