    Howdy,

    Hi Maury,

    Thanks for the tip on the 6 O'Clock hold. I've been using that across the board, maybe I'll try using the center hold for a match and see how that affects my score. Also, when is it...

    That's the one I use, only in red. Works well, helped my scores a bit. I'm sure the "Hardback" crowd will chime in, but it's a durable coat. Maybe a bit hotter in the summer due to the lack of...

    OK, why would the CMP rulebook run the Vintage Match in reverse order compared to a Service Rifle Match? To make the Vintage crank-bolt people feel awkward and backwards?? Actually my club only has a...

    Ditto what everyone has said. I stink at High Power. My last score was a 355-1x. My best score is a 395-0x. My 1st match shot around 1999 was like a 208-3x (how I did that, I dunno). Anyways, I'm...

    I think I'll give that a try as well. I've been so concerned about the cheek-weld thing it didn't occur to me to drop the butt a bit. I'll just have to get my "landmarks" set for this position.

    PS If I go the elbow pad route, what constitutes "artificial support"?

    Why not institute a "points penalty" for not dropping into position? This would compensate for the advantage of remaining in position. A 5 or 10 point penalty for each stage ought to do it. It would...

    Hi All,

    I have pictures but I won't waste the bandwidth (unless you wanna see 'em.) I was shooting my M1 Garand w/ Boyd's fat stock and club issued HXP ball today.

    1st stage 71-0x, but I was...
