Oscar: Unfortunately there are no sanctioned matches in MD at this time. I ran some IR50 UL matches at Salisbury a few years ago, but never generated enough interest to continue. I remain hopeful that Hagerstown will start up....but not this year fer sure. I run a non sanctioned league at...

Jerry: Better be on. I have a room for Friday night. CU sometime Friday afternoon. bob

Tim has a good cleaning process. Mine is different. Me, after EVERY card I use 2 wet patches followed by 6 strokes with a high quality wet BRONZE .22 cal center fire brush (that is 3 times out and back) followed by 1 wet patch followed by 3 dry patches, and a 4th if I feel it is needed. I do...

I've never had a lead build up problem. With our rim fire barrels we need wax in the barrel to make em work properly. If you don't remove all the wax when you clean then lead will barely touch the lands/grooves if at all. I clean after every target and only get aggressive when the barrel...

Scott: It appears my intent got lost in translation. What you experienced at your first match is what you can expect to find at EVERY rim fire BR match you attend. Yours was not by any means a unique experience. I did say tournament skeet. I did not include trap and certainly not live bird...

Doclu: I used to shoot tournament skeet all over the east coast. Competitors were like family in that we saw each other most weekends. Competition was fierce but friendly. I picked up this rim fire BR game a few years ago and have found exactly the same type of "family" competing. Most will...

Dave: When a trigger breaks 6 minutes into a 20 minute card unless you have a spare rifle or someone hands you their rifle you are finished. Every bull not shot counts as a zero. If it is the first card of a six card match that is a bunch of zero's on your record. I have had Jewell triggers...

Several years ago I replaced all of my Jewell with B & A triggers. I have since replaced two of those with Flavio triggers. Why? Because I wanted to try them, a good friend spoke highly of them so much so he became the importer. So yes I have experience with them. As it stands right now I...

Wilbur: Good call in my opinion. I suspect the majority of posters are with you, even those of us who like to talk politics. Thanks for all you do. bob

Bruce: I'm coming over for the UL. Enjoy the morning. bob

Many use a dollar bill pulled against the barrel. If it moves freely from action face to end of fore end it is floating. bob

Works fine for me. I use Google Chrome. Sometimes certain browsers have problems with it. Try a different browser. bob

Doug: Sorry I don't remember much about the actual Ice Bowl game. Sitting in the stands one had brain freeze coupled with a Brandy induced haze, and it wasn't from eating ice cream. And I don't think I saw the first super bowl...I was probably at work. To bring this back to the original...

Doug: The Ice Bowl was the 1967 NFC championship game between the Packers and Cowboys. Packers won. There were many other cold games and will be more in future. Football IMO is always best when played in inclement weather. bob

Bill: It was about -10/-15 F. Wind chill was the killer. In those days snowmobile suits were not as warm as they are now. If I had to do it again I'd have one of the suits that plugs in to sled or motorcycle and carry a big 12 volt battery to power it up. That would work better than the...

Bill: I too saw the Ice Bowl, but I was on the 40 yard line trying to stay warm....an impossible task. bob

Allan Hall of Hall Manufacturing makes a 1 oz ring, probably one of the lightest out there. They fit on Davidson bases or dovetails. bob

Common sense suggests we test ammo just like you would shoot it in competition. How else will you know how it performs in your rifle? That said there is a school that says find the ammo that works best without the tuner on the barrel. Both ways work. You have to believe in how you do it or...

Dale: Anschutz makes a BR50 stock that is available from most Anschutz dealers, such as Champions Choice. Kelbly sells a very nice fiberglass bench rest stock for the A54 action. Either may be acceptable to you. bob

We are all lessened by having Ray no longer with us. As others have said he was always the gentleman and sportsman. Rest in peace Ray. bob
