I'm hearing some buzz about the test was all amiss this year. I understand that instead of correcting the problem they just gave all competitors a 100 on the test and are leaving it at that. I'm very disappointed to hear this. In my opinion they have rewarded the ones that don't prepare for the test...

I really don't care what smoking357 thinks about American Trap. This individual has the right to spew their thoughts and beliefs on the sport. Last time I checked we still had a form of free speech in the US of A. If smoking357 says ATA is too easy then that implies this person has shoot ATA at some...

Can you share any part of this great drill that helped focus on shot execution? Always looking for something new for my junior shooters!

I agree with SRichieR! New sights please, and I don't want to hear about how much it will increase cost. I also agree with his interpretation on consecutive match exclusion. I have mixed feelings on this and I think part of this evolved from a situation that happened with my club team from 2011. Way...

Sounds like you've read the book and got the T-shirt when it comes to 499's and there 5899 rear sight issues. My first year was 2010 and have qualified a team every year since including this year. I remember very well at last years opening ceremony when Mr. Hobbs asked if there was anybody left in G...

You are correct. The NRA rule 3.7 (a) Metallic receiver sights, from any manufacturer may be substituted for factory sights and mounted on the receiver of the gun. However if the ultimate goal is to win a state match and qualify for the Daisy National BB Gun Championship you are better off to get se...

Congratulations with your second place finish. Considering the short time you and your shooters prepared you should be proud. I am a coach with the Dickson 4-H shooting sports program. I am working with the BB program mostly but several of those are in their last year of eligibility for BB so we sho...

Congratulations for having a serious and dedicated young shooter. It sounds like he is proficient and serious about the sport and has all the fundamentals under control so I can understand your desire for quality equipment. I have several years of competitive shooting experience but have no major ac...

We only participate in sporter class in our shooting program mainly because of cost. If it were not for the fact that I supply almost all of the equipment (2 Avanti XS40s, 2 Daisy 853's, spotting scopes, and offhand stands) for our six active shooters we would not even have an air rifle program. Hav...

Not sure if they are still available but the CMP did have these for sale a while back. Its worth a phone call if you have not done so already. Walther LG300 Junior Rifle to Be Sold by CMP; Sales of Feinwerkbau P-70 Junior Suspended: The CMP Precision Air Rifle Sales Program is making a change in the...

You should also contact your local 4-H extension agent. They may already have a shooting sports program and if not would like for someone to start one. Their insurance coverage would be hard to beat as far as cost is concerned. I may be wrong but I'm quite certain ours is about a dollar per child in...

I've experimented with everything from the Daisy supplied nylon POS sling, old surplus M1 carbine, and high end leather service rifle slings. A few of my shooters can sling up but for most it's like a remedial lesson at the beginning of every session on how to use a sling. It is obvious these are de...
