      Trouble seeing bullseye at Gonzales in morning sun

      There were only 5 of us on the line at Gonzales Sunday morning for the practice high power match at 200 yards. Turned out to be very frustrating for George and for me--neither of us could see the bullseye decent enough to get an acceptable sight picture! The rising sun was backlighting the...

      Is it OK for sling to stay on arm in hi-power?

      I like to leave my sling on my shooting jacket when shooting off-hand...haven't seen anyone else doing this, and am wondering if there is any kind of a rule infringement when I shoot in first high power match. My jacket has a loop that holds the sling in place on upper arm, and I never notice...

      Any Opthalmalogists recommended in Mandeville/Covington?

      I'm due for an eye exam, and would like to also get a good prescription that will allow these 57 year old eyes to see the front sight and still acquire NRA targets at 100, 200, 300, and 600 yards. Does anyone know of an opthalmalogist who will work on this and allow me to bring my AR15 (in...

      Any 200 yard ranges?

      I've fired my rifles 100 yards at Tallow Creek and at Honey Island, and would like to find a 200 yard public range. Or a range that will allow a retired military officer to shoot (I found alot of police ranges in various parts of the country would allow me in while I was still on Active Duty)...

      Sold

      Just bought new AR15 and need to replenish bank account by selling my 2 M1 carbines. Both are USGI carbines from CMP. Selling for $600 each, which is less than what I have in them after new ejectors, extractors, refinishing USGI stock, replacing other USGI stock, slings with oilers, and gas to...

      My last trip to Tallow Creek Range

      Recently I've done more shooting at Honey Island than Tallow Creek because I can shoot FMJ at Honey Island, and the range is so much nicer. But time was tight this Saturday morning, and I wanted to test my rebuilt bolt in one of my carbines. Drove my car instead of 4x4 SUV, which was...

      Is the Merit Optical Attachment legal in CMP Matches?

      Yesterday I shot in the Garand Match at Honey Island. The front sight was fuzzy (function of being 57 years old, plus it was dark and stormy). Could compensate during slow fire by squinting really hard, but during rapid fire I just couldn't get the squint done fast enough. Last time I shot...

      I'd like to compete in matches when I get more ammo!

      Got a nice little M1 carbine from CMP a couple of months ago and would like to shoot in some matches at 100 yards (no, I don't want to take on the Big Guns at 200 yards, and across the range is out of the question!) once I have more ammo...bought 100 rounds from Academy Sports in Slidell right...
