Button Rifled AR barrels don't last as long. Most last between 3,500 and 4,000 rounds before they begin to lose X count at 600 yards. They will shoot 200 and 300 for a couple thousand more rounds...

Thanks for the kind words. We put a lot into the organization of the range and the matches. Don't be a stranger. We shoot across the course on the 3rd Saturday of every month. I look forward to...

He cleared the problem, shot the remainder of the clip and calmly put the last round in and fired it with time to spare.

Phillip was at Palo Alto this past weekend for the LA State Championship and leg match. He was trooping along with his M1 and looked like he was having a good time. I am interested to get his...

It isn't. The AMU comes to the Regional in April (this year so did the All Guard team). They have already made reservations for housing for next April. I am serious when I say that they love to shoot...

You ought to follow Dan Henson down to Palo Alto in two weeks. We have an 800 aggregate on Saturday and a leg match on Sunday. We shot a mid range prone championship this weekend. 6 x 600. That...

Maury,

Because I have accomplished pretty much what I set out to do with a Service Rifle, I no longer feel compelled to bring my AR to every match. Regular monthly matches see me with a variety of...

Like it or not, the "Rat Gun' will shoot rings around the big .30s. If you quit before the AR became popular, you probably haven't competed since the late 90s. That is before my time.

I checked around and I am certain he is not. So, who are you, hiding behind the alias. Do you shoot in MS or LA?

Phillip,

That is too bad about the match. I also heard that the across the course match scheduled at Beaumont Saturday was canceled due to lack of interest. In part the Burns range has lower...

Did you shoot the match today? Where was it? How did you do?

Where is the highpower match on 9/4?

There is that "YOU" factor to contend with. :>)

I agree with John about another thing - going Distinguished is not about getting the right "gadget" or the "perfect load". You should buy the best quality you can afford in a coat, rifle and scope. A...

I use an underarmor T-shirt and either a long sleeve cotton T or a sweat shirt depending on the position (T-shirt for standing). When you take off the coat during the summer down here, if feels like...

Tam slings are the best. My first, after 5 years of weekly use in all kinds of weather, had stretched exactly none. I was pretty shocked. I am considering ordering a 3rd. I have a Turner. While it is...

I also noticed in your pictures that you are shooting without a coat. Do yourself a favor. Buy a Creedmoor hardback heavy coat as soon as you can.

Phillip,

I am in Covington, LA. I am also the President of the Louisiana Shooting Association, the assistant Match Director at Palo Alto, and I run the junior service rifle program in LA.

The...

Look at what the winners are using. They all use the Creedmoor Hardback Heavy jackets (at least for the last 15 years). You can find these jackets used in good condition. Spend the money. Buy once,...

Oh, and the shortest way to a DR badge is with an AR.

Phillip,

There are highpower matches (but no EIC matches) at Bogue Chitto, MS. These matches are run by Doug Bowser, but were not terribly well organized the last time I attended. There are also...

Did one of those guys have a freshly shaved head and a goatee?
