The goal of removing 50 free and prone is to be politically and gender correct. 2020 simply can't allow an event where only men can enter and not women. Since you can't add any additional event, the only way is to change the nature of the existing two events. 2 Olympic events where men do not compe...

If they remove it from the world cups as well this will be the death of smallbore rifle. People don't just go straight into 3P or can afford to, they start with Air and prone and that sometimes seeds into 3P. No prone means no 3P. Amazingly, all the new sports added to the Olympic Games have surviv...

The right lens has a clear circlular area. has anyone seen these before? I am guessing they are custom made. I can't tell if t...

Thanks heaps trax

I'm about to upgrade my sweater from a very old Mouche body warm top. Not ideal in the Australian summer! My local shop has the Sauer cardigan but I prefer the Kurt Thune gear. I agree its hard to find anything online about these so cheers for the review.
