Please don't let me leave without my thermos bottle. Forgot it Tuesday and Saturday. By now my green tea has turned into a small biology project. Maybe it will eat its way through the stainless steel and down through your…

Air Rifle Match TUESDAY 1/31/12 @7:00 pm

The fourth match of 2012, will take place at my home Tuesday, January 31, 2012 @ 7:00 pm. We will shoot 40 pellets in four ten pellet strings, with breaks between strings. Targets will be set at 7 meters and may consist of animal silhouettes or the dreaded zombie/mole combination target. I will have a loaner air rifle available and we do share equipment, so don't think if you don't have all the bells and whistles that you can't participate. Be aware, following the completion of the match a…See More

I want to give Rattle Battle another try. Redemption is in order.

I'll do the work for David Johnson and put him down as #1 on the rattle battle team, since he didn't want to come out of his room and comment here.

If the Fusil de Marey is legal, I don't believe the the score would be very high. Besides, Sierra does not manufacture a "round" for this. Anybody want to contact Kodak?

William Corcoran replied to William Corcoran's discussion '2012 Camp Perry Planning'

And who's in for the rattle battle? And using which rifle? Is this one legal?

Friday

John Daley replied to William Corcoran's discussion '2012 Camp Perry Planning'

Sounds good. But I'd better save the chili dog with hungarian peppers til after the shooting.

Hey John, I thought about going to the Washtenaw match on Saturday for something to do, while everyone goes to the small arms school. Maybe we can split the gas and grab a bite at Tony Packos if you decide to go. Ed

Friday

John Daley replied to William Corcoran's discussion '2012 Camp Perry Planning'

I'm planning on going. Will try to get there Friday if I don't go to the Washtenaw match.

Guys,

Here's a question for anyone who has a reliable 200/300 load for the AR: What powder meters the easiest? I'm running out of 4895 and I thought I might try something with smaller granules this next time around. My short range load with the 4895 and my trusty Sierra factory second 77s shoots very well (see the photo of the 300 yard group on our website), but sometimes the 4895 hangs up in the powder measure when I try to throw the charge, necessitating a do-over. For best…

I thought I had coordination issues....

Check out the problems US troops had trying to teach basic PT moves to indigineous forces. Looks like Afghanistan.... but could be anywhere in the mid-East.

Merry Christmas

Just wanted to tell the OOS members and especially the Elders to have a Merry Christmas and may the New Year bring you better sight alignment, proper trigger control and higher scores for all.

Off to Connecticut.

But, did you ever wonder (other than Halleluja) what the words were in the Halelluja Chorus?

A Big Thank You

I want to thank all the guys that came over and shot in the match Saturday.Your participation and support is a big part of being able to have these matches. The scores were pretty good for a December match.Alex Belt was top Garand shooter with a 278-5x and John Daley was top Springfield shooter with a 269-1x. In the Vintage class Terry Nakano and his Krag tore them up once again with a 274-6x, and his rapid string was a 96-5X which was the highest score in the match for the rapid fire…
