Mike, you did an outstanding job building him a winning rifle. Congrats to you as well. TKH

Congrats to Maurice Hazzard 2023 World Air Rifle Champion and new World record holder. You the man, TKH

Not long now to the Nationals. If you haven't made your plans, there is still time. For those that haven't shot Fairchance before you are in for a treat. It is one of the largest ranges in the country. There are plenty of covered cleaning tables and parking. There is an air-conditioned club...

Scott, I think you are right. I know he used to test new builds for Gordon Eck. TKH

Jerry, Please put me down for sporter, 3-gun, and unlimited. I also plan to shoot the 3, one target money matches Saturday afternoon. I was going to make a separate post to tell newcomers just what shooting at Fairchance is all about. But I can put it here. Fairchance is special, very...

As long as you are having fun, great. But I think you are pushing on a rope. If you are familiar with bottle cap shooting you know it also depends on cold bore shots. Some have a knack for guessing where that round will land. I never did. Good luck! TKH

Tim, Here is my thoughts. First, I don't think a .22 LR rimfire is capable of being an accurate 300 yard rifle. I would think tuning to shoot at 300 yards would be nearly impossible. There is so much going on over that distance I wouldn't be able to tell what was causing what. I simply would...

As long as you are having fun that is all that really matters. It would drive me crazy. That is the reason I gave up shooting bottle caps. I watched others do it, and do it well, but I never was able to get a handle on it, so I moved on to something that was just as much fun but contained...

I’m not being smart but shooting a rimfire at 300 yards is anything but precision. It can be fun but so can shooting sling shots. If you need accuracy at that distance you will be much better off with a centerfire. TKH

Here is another chance to shoot the world famous and much feared range known as Fairchance Pa. Come on out and shoot. Just kidding about the feared part, Fairchance gives everyone an equal chance of success. TKH

Chucker, This is very common in rimfire. Most rimfire barrels require several rounds to warm up or foul them so they will shoot their best. Many have tried many ways to prevent this with varying degrees of success. If you are target shooting just shoot a few fouler rounds until your barrel...

Jason, Could you also identify the "state" on the schedule page by the club's name and also put google map directions to each club on the club page? Thanks TKH

Jason, Thank you for the post. You have answered many questions that I hear at every match. TKH

In my original post I said the money match would be Friday night. What I should have said was Saturday night at about 7 pm. I have corrected my original post. TKH

The tournament was held yesterday, and we had great weather. The match was well run and everything went like clockwork. They have a good crew running these matches. They made everyone feel safe, welcome, and comfortable. Even served BBQ sandwich's that really hit the spot after a day at the...

If you are looking for a place shoot try Fairchance tomorrow. Weather is going to be good and the company will be better. See you there. TKH

Although a few have had some success with Eley the last few years it hasn't been me. In my opinion the barrels that shoot the new stuff well are on the large side and have very seasoned chambers. It seems to me that the lead (bullets) in the current offerings from Eley are too hard. Too much...

Kent, There was never a doubt. Your rifles were always more than good enough!! TKH
