    searching for the motherload

    Guys, I've been shooting about two months now and it occurs to me I've never really found "the motherload" of information about shooting. Lots of good articles on websites, Ryan Cleckner's book, Lanny Bassham's book, bits and scraps from the forums. Where is the motherload? I'm just...

    dry firing to the surprise break

    Mother of God. This is f*&ked up. So I bought a $10K rifle and scope that has a crappy trigger? I only want .5MOA at 100 yards. Is that doable with my Steyr SSG08A1? I only want to know that I own any target inside 800 yards on the first shot. Why is Steyr so acclaimed if their trigger is...

    dry firing to the surprise break

    I'm new to shooting but I keep wondering about the mechanics of the trigger and specifically whether any studies have been done on the variability, lets say the standard deviation, in pull force at the instant of the break. And also, knowing nothing about anything, I can't imagine this pull...

    dry firing to the surprise break

    Why such an extreme difference in trigger pull weight from a stock rifle to a benchrest rifle? My rifle is a Steyr SSG 08 A1 and it comes with a 2.5lb preset trigger weight. Why is mine set so heavy by Steyr if its detrimental to accuracy?

    dry firing to the surprise break

    I just started shooting a few weeks ago so I don't know a lot but I used to study archery from a nationally ranked archer who is also a shooter who is now giving me rifle instruction. For those of you who train to the "surprise break" I'd like to know what you think about the way I'm dry...

    newbie question about finding the exact distance to target

    Guys, I'm a newbie, been shooting for six weeks now but I think about it a lot and I have a couple questions if you can find the time to answer. 1) In a competition, be it say 600 or 1000 yard benchrest competition, how can the distance to the target be measured with high precision without...

    newbie question about the bench setup at my range

    That one looks like a strong contender but I think I'm going to try this one first: https://chamachairs.com/product/chama-chair/ It has three legs, good for uneven ground, and extendable, good for sloped ground. Thanks, guys!!

    I'm new to shooting and I've got to say I don't have the slightest idea what this post means. I mean I don't even understand one sentence in this post. :D

    newbie question about the bench setup at my range

    But looking at the legs, is this going to work on uneven and sloped ground?

    newbie question about the bench setup at my range

    Guys, I'm new to shooting altogether as of the last six weeks and my question is on what happens when I get to my local rifle range which I went to today for the third time. I'm normal height, six foot, but these wooden bench seats seemed way too tall for the height of the tabletop. I...
