It is with profound sadness I am letting everyone know that Dan Opel passed away yesterday. Dan was a friend to shooters far and wide. He was a mentor to many and one of the guys you could always count on to be at a match and support anyone who needed help in this game. Dan was the President of...

Mike, I know Sheldon as well and can support this go fund me request. Here is what I wrote on our forum: Shooters, We all know BR is perhaps one of the greatest shooting sports ever created, and that everyone thinks they know about, but few understand the game outside of the current...

Here is the equipment list. Walt was shooting Tony Boyers rifle and using Tony's equipment, so that is why there are no Berger bullets listed for Walt.

Relax? Why? So we can all sit around and talk about the old days, and whine about the sport dying, and how we all have more important things to do? Give me a break. It is attitudes like this that will kill the sport in short order. It becomes a self fulfilling prophecy to go on the internet and...
