I was home yesterday on Sniper's Hide and again I was lectured about my opinion of a competition that was posted in the forum. Don't lecture me on m...

The Everyday Sniper Episode 197, True Range Zero, User Comments In this episode, I talk about your True Range Zero and what the end-user can do to fix issues with software to help fine-tune your truing. With a true range zero a group that is just .1 mils above center moves your group to 150 yards in terms of how the computer looks at it. So it's important to understand these variations.

We can free recoil a rifle and still engage in the funda...

The Everyday Sniper Episode 188 My thoughts after Recent Events Without getting too political I want to discuss the gun control debate happening on the heels of the El Paso and Dayton Shootings. This topic affects us directly and some thing needs to be addressed without getting too political.
