      Scopes for pellet rifles

      A springer air rifle recoils forward and a powder burner recoils rearward. A airgun scope the crosshairs are usually supported at the front and rear. I have destroyed several scopes over the years on springers. PCP airguns recoil like a conventional firearm.

      GSSF at Laughery Valley Fish and Game 5/11 5/12

      Great weather and a excellent turnout for mothers day weekend and yes the food was great. Met some great people with shooters from Florida, W. Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky. It seems that the Indiana crew was smaller than it should be for it being fairly local to us. This happens in USPSA and...

      Silver Creek Conservation club and range location?

      New location opened for members on Brownstown rd earlier this year. Been having steel challenge and IDPA matches and USPSA is in the works.

      Interesting Revolver Behavior?

      I shoot a revolver almost every weekend in competition and sometimes I switch it up and do a bottomfeeder every once in a while just to remember how much more fun the revolver is to shoot. I do action work and repairs on revolvers to pay for the primers and bullets to shoot the matches.:laugh:

      Interesting Revolver Behavior?

      As long as the trigger is returning fully forward on it's own it is not a spring problem it is the operator error. If too light a rebound spring for the mainspring tension and sometimes with a dirty gun the trigger will not overcome the mainspring tension and won't go fully forward and will have...

      Interesting Revolver Behavior?

      If you look the hammer actually does move. The hammer is always under spring tension and when the sear fails to reset when you pull the trigger again the hammer moves forward some as the rebound slide is pushed out from under the hammer. You are correct that the hammer doesn't move rearward...

      Interesting Revolver Behavior?

      Short stroking the trigger sometimes doesn't allow the Double Action sear to reset all the way giving you those results. There is some modifications that makes the reset more forgiving but that is a bandaid for the real problem and that is not letting the trigger off all the way. I used to do...

      ICORE 2024 Central Regional Championship

      Thanks to all those who setup and run the match. Great squad and weather although the wind played havoc on the steel and even the paper targets. It was a blast to shoot with friends I haven't seen or shot with in a long time. 1st Icore match since 2021 and I missed it. Wife and I both...

      .22LR Range Fun

      .22 revolvers of all brands can have hard ejection. When a .22 revolver comes thru the shop I always ream the cylinder with a SAMMI spec reamer and that usually takes care of the problem unless the customer requests not to. Some guns will run fine right from the factory and some will tighten up...

      S&W mod. 52-2 What’s it’s purpose

      FWIW Mod 52 mags can be modded to hold 6 rounds and even heard of 7 rounds working. I did mine to 6 rounds when I was shooting combat leagues in the winter with 6 round strings. Original mags are probably to valuable to do the mods too now but aftermarket(triple K I believe is doing them) would...

      Owensboro USPSA 3/15-3/16 2024

      Beautiful day on the range Saturday. I haven't done a classifier match in 30 years but I went to this one to deliver a couple of guns I worked on to a shooter and shot my Revolver in a different division just messing around. 6 stages and they were all newer stages with movement so it was...

      Anyone using the new Garmin Xero?

      Just got one of these but haven't used it yet. Lot less Hassel than carrying skyscreens and wires and timer for old chrono. After looking it over it is slick but very basic. I would bet version 2 will have functions for ES and SD and maybe power factor for the shooting games and be more expensive.
