We are looking at about 60 shooters. It should be a good weekend.

I just received a beautiful stock from Jim Peightal to be given away as a door prize.

Don, You are one heck of a guy for posting that pic. I would have burned that target and never said another thing about it.:D:D:D

Temps should be in the 80's, it is going to be nice.

You are correct. Top is egg crate foam, is 2 pieces of solid foam. You cut the one piece of solid foam to fit your rifle. I think the all solid foam would work OK as well. The foam you cut is 1-1.5 inches thick, so a 3" wide stock will still be compressed enough by the solid foam to hold it...

we will have 3 relays

Les, Most people do ship the guns in the cheap Plano cases, and they work OK most of the time. I shipped one gun to Va in one of those cases and UPS broke the stock. They paid for the replacement, so it all worked out but I do some major packing when I ship a gun now. I wrap the gun in bubble...

Markbo, I have the barreled action in the stock sitting in the one piece rest just like I shoot it. I tape the stethescope head to the forearm of the stock and tap the barrel with my index finger. Tap it pretty hard. Some rifles are easier to hear than other ones. I am not sure why. I have...

Pacecil wrote The tuner is the weight. There is no difference in tuners and weight - it's all just weight. I agree the tuner is the weight and there is no difference in tuners and weight, but the tuner is not enough weight to move the node to the muzzle. You must add additional weight to the...

More relays also helps the scoring team. They do not have as many targets coming in every 30 minutes. This way they will not be rushed, and they can occassionally take a break.

Pacecil, I agree you can find the location of the node by tapping the barrel and finding the dead spot. If you do this on a barrel without a tuner, usually the node is 3-4 inches behind the muzzle. To move the node to the muzzle you must add the tuner plus extra weight. Now I agree with...

I agree with how you move the node. Do you agree that you can find the position of the node by tapping on the barrel and listening for a "dead" spot?

pacecil, I did not read the previous thread, so please bear with me. I thought the goal was to move the node to the end of the barrel.

So, are we having 2 or 3 relays?

For those who have heard the false rumor that Shilen barrels have had trouble lately, BJH shot the 2500 with a Shilen 4 Groove Ratchet that was 2 weeks old.
