.22 ammo tests

This ammo test is fantastic.  I strongly urge you all to look at it.

New link

I just added a link to another site called HP Rifle links.  It is the place to go to get a lot of information on HP Rifle shooting.

Wind drift

I found a pretty cool chart showing the wind drift of several common match bullets.

Board Stipends

I was talking with Bob Tucker a couple of days ago and he mentioned something that the KISA board is doing now.  Since I got off the board they started letting the board members have free memberships.  I wish we would have done that while I was on the board.  That would have saved me more than a couple of hundred bucks over the years.

Colorado Match

A couple of weeks ago I went to see my mother in Colorado so I took along my AR15 and shot in a match there.  I did terrible.  The front sight was blurry and so was the target.

On the sitting rapid fire I had a misfire and instead of claiming an alibi I thought that I would just hurry up and get 10 shots off.  I got off ten shots, but I did it much too quickly, and shot a bad score.  I did ok in the prone rapid fire - but not great - with a 94.

Got to the slowfire prone and my sight picture was really bad.

A couple of days later I went to an outdoor match with my frien Van and I forgot my glasses.  Everything was a lot better.

Then I went to Dr. Shank yesterday.  My vision has gotten better since last year and he told me not to wear glasses.  Duh - why didn't I check this before I shot.

Another note - I was eating a lot of sugary junk food for a couple of days before the match.  I don't think that eating sugar helps your vision at all.

Anyway, I am going to start this year not wearing glasses - we will see what happens.
