    Shooting-Related, Autobiographical Snippets

    Good memories are good. Reminds me of the quote: "God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December."

    Some Benchrest Remembrances

    That's interesting. At the above-referenced E-W shoot I was alone in the loading area the night before the 200 yd. matches, getting somewhat ready for the next day. In walks Tony, right up to my table; he reaches over and checks the lock ring on my scope, tightens it up and says something...

    Some Benchrest Remembrances

    My First Shoot On the Other Side of the River — After the above-described Super Shoot, I decided to go to the East-West Show Me Shoot Out, about 50 miles west of St. Louis. Sadly, my wife didn’t want to go, so I drove out there by myself, and slept in the back of my truck. My shooting results...

    What tool(s) do you use to check bullet seating depth? I use a "nut" that looks like this https://www.reloadingsolutions.com/products/sinclair-1-hex-style-bullet-comparator, and oftentimes get > .001 difference by measuring the same loaded round a second time. BTW, I hope to see you at RBGC in...

    ojai ca 600 light/heavy match sunday may 19 7 am

    It sounds like: (a) your clock is much more elaborate than any clock I've ever had; (b) your "zero" luck is about like mine, sometimes; and (c) your forgetfulness is also about like mine, sometimes — maybe it wasn't a waste if you learned something. :)

    Some Benchrest Remembrances

    My First Super Shoot — The year after the above-described Shamrock Shoot, I decided to go to the Super Shoot. I was excited about the trip, and my wife agreed to go also. My plan was to shoot the first two days and leave, unless I was in the upper part of the results list after those two days...

    I should have included the following in post # 12 above, but ... Can you elaborate on the "if necessary" part of your comment? Please don't let the following question affect your response to the previous question — but, regardless of what prompted a "necessary" adjustment, I assume the group...

    Some Remembrances of Wilbur (the Original Cook and Bottle Washer)

    I used to always read Wilbur’s posts; I enjoyed his insightful comments — one of which is worth quoting here. He said, “There are often spectators drooling around quietly at matches. If you ain't winning (which is the case for 80% of the attendees), why not ask these spectators if they would...

    Watching Wind Flags

    Lee, do you feel that you oftentimes get caught with the wind changing between the time you look at the flags and the time you "let the next round fly"? If so, what do you do to try to mitigate that issue?

    Watching Wind Flags

    Lee, thanks for sharing the above. Query Lee, thanks for sharing. Query: 1. When you're watching the field, I assume that means ALL of your flags, correct? 2. How fast do you typically "run" five shots? 3. Are you coming off the scope to watch the flags while you reload? 4. Please...
