Mort, I'm in Melba, so just around the corner. Technically, I can shoot them from my back door, but my Belgian Malinois likes to chase them and dig them out of their burrows. We usually take the kids/grandkids out 2 or 3 times each Spring and use everything from .17hmr to 6.5 CM. We...

Mort, That looks a lot like where I shoot whistle pigs. Are you on the Morley Nelson? Of course all of Southern Idaho looks like that. I'm pretty sure whistle pigs are Piute Ground Squirrels. One also needs to be a little careful taking shots in some areas, because the Townsend Ground...

Thank you Thanks for all the suggestions. I really appreciate them. Lisa

Francis, How do you store the stuff you do leave in the trailer? Lisa

Thanks Steelhead1, I have looked at this photo many times, and agree that it is a great place to start. I was hoping that I could get some ideas for ways to store flagpoles, flags, rests, etc. that didn't have them all packed up in containers and stacked on the floor. I know that this is a...

Folks, I've purchased a 7' x 14' x 6'-6" tandem axle, round-front cargo trailer to set up and use for matches. I do not plan to sleep in it, just set it up for loading/cleaning/storage. I had it insulated, paneled, and wired for air-conditioning/heating from the factory. What I'd like is...

93R Bore Guide Bob, I got mine from Sinclair. Was a standard item 4-5 years ago. Look forward to seening you once the season starts. Lisa

While you wait for keys You could also cross the River and head over to Clatskanie. Nice LITTLE range, 4 covered concrete benches, 200 yard max range, open to the public free of charge on Saturday and Sunday (mostly). Modest membership fee lets you in anytime and they don't grumble when they...

Of Course Henriksen I don't know how I got a "D" in there. No matter how you spell it, best darn reamers I ever bought! Lisa

Hendriksen Hendriksen Tool Company, 8515 Wagner Creek Rd, Talent, Oregon, 97540. You won't get it overnight, or probably within 6 weeks, but...when you do get it, it'll be worth the wait. Lisa Spendlove

DougMH I can give my opinions based on experience with both. I shoot Nesika and Bat custom actions in short-range BR. My husband (kinda thick in the head) had a purpose-built BR gun built on one of the very 1st available RBLP Target actions from Savage that he uses as a HV bag gun, and I have...

Jeff, Believe it or not, I'll be there. I really wanted to be there for the Unlimited match, but it just didn't work out. It's been awhile, so it will be good to say hi to everyone. Lisa Spendlove

When my husband (Marine) taught me to shoot, he had me use a "six o'clock" hold at two hundred yards (for bullseye targets) and a "center mass" hold at 300 yards (for bullseye targets). The reasoning behind this is that: with a 300 yard zero, the round will strike approximately 6" high at 200...

Probably the same way I do .220 Russian seater die, and .22 caliber bullets. Usually the least expensive, bulk-packaged, FMJ bullets I can find in front of a case full of 322. Fire them outta the 6mm barrel and your done. Although my barrels are now .268 neck, I used to do it that way with a...

Greg and Al, Firstly, if you believe that "wind drift" is a function of time of flight in which the airmass moves the bullet in the direction of travel equal to the airmass' velocity, you're not going to buy this explaination at all. If, however, you believe that "wind drift" is caused by drag...

Greg The bullet does not leave the barrel already precessed into the wind. It leaves on a launch angle dead on the to the other balloon. Yes, the bullet is moving sideways due to the momentum of being fired from a moving platform, but this momentum bleeds off rapidly. Once the bullet clears...

Ray, I'll give you my take on the question of a bullet turning "into the wind" or "pointing into the wind". Most of this is copied from my post on the other wind drift thread but I did change a couple of things to make it easier to read. I did not change the content. Caution—At this point I...

I'm willing to try it one more time Okay, A bullet leaves the barrel at 3000fps. This is the ground speed. This bullet has a drag force of "X". This is primarily derived from it's size, shape, and initial velocity. The bullet will constantly decellerate all the way to the target due to...

Okay, a lightbulb flashed over my head A very dim lightbulb, but. I can see where some of the confusion is coming from. When Richard mentioned inertia, I saw where I am having trouble communicating my thoughts. Going out on a limb here by not waiting for Richard's response to my question...

Then I have a simple question If it is not increased drag that causes the bullet to get to the target slower, what physical force is it? I'm at a loss to explain what force (other than drag) effects the velocity. Thanks, Lisa
