Re: Kimber 82 Government in Excellent Condition

Review of sale: TWebster (seller) is an excellent communicator, the rifle was as advertised (it actually looks like a brand new unit right off the shelf), the packing was perfect, and finally: yes, I'd definitely recommend TWebster as an A+ trustworthy person to do business with.

Re: Do i NEED to use a blinder?

"Food for thought:" a number of years ago in Louisville, KY, a young girl was shooting the smallbore tournament. She wore an eye protector metal patch over one eye. She came in second as I recall. Makes one wonder if "one eye" is the answer... you wouldn't be concerned about the ...

Re: Cateracts and seeing the target

When you have cataract surgery, be sure to get a good lens and the proper lens. I'd recommend the "distance" lens. I have a friend who had some kind of "new type lens" put in and he now greatly regrets his decision. Hopefully he'll read this thread and comment.!! Additionally, FY...

Re: Shooting after premium lens replacement eye surgery?

hope you write a "follow up" review of your surgery. many of us are going thru "eye surgery" situations today and the more we can learn from others, helps us to be more knowledgeable and make better decisions.

smallbore questions

Have a few questions for all you smallbore shooters out there.... (1) why do I see (sometimes) where the buttplate is slanted either forward or backward? What's going on here? (2) I've read about a balance point of the rifle being just in front of the trigger... what does this have to do with anythi...

Re: Front Iris

This can be a complicated question; there are two factors to be considered: (1) the distance from your REAR sight to the front sight (sight radius) and (2) are you using an eagle eye (diopter or magnifier). Since you're shooting prone, I'm assuming you're a smallbore shooter. If you would answer 1 a...

Re: 22 target pistol or rifle

start them off in an air pistol. much less problematic regarding legality, cost, and ease of portability.

Re: Help with my math please

forget the 25 yard stuff... Go to your club's 50 yard range, zero your rifle. now go up 6 MOA (whatever that is on your sights). shoot a few rounds at 100 to confirm... go have fun and hope you don't get frostbite in this cold weather !!! :-)
