RFB Hunter ad

Posted on March 30, 2012 by Oleg Volk

This rifle is fractionally shorter than an AR10 with 16″ barrel but has less muzzle flash and delivers 300-400fps higher velocity. At 600 yards, that’s about 3 feet less bullet drop! While in Florida, I shot it sub-MOA with 168gr match … Continue reading →

Today’s range experiement

Posted on March 21, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Tried shooting RMR30 for a group despite wind moving both bullets and the gun itself. Gemtech G5 sound suppressor worked really well, but it was also a bit heavier than the tiny dedicated 22WMR can. Fifteen rounds of CCI Maxi … Continue reading →

Posted on March 3, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Some of the people I photograph are not familiar with firearms. I try to remedy that, both to have more versatile models and for their benefit as well. I taught the basics to two last weekend, both times using suppressed … Continue reading →

Why would bullets from a Walther P22 keyhole?

Posted on March 1, 2012 by Oleg Volk

I normally teach new shooters with a Walther P22. It’s small, light, acceptably accurate and runs fine with subsonic and standard velocity ammunition. Last weekend, all subsonic and standard velocity ammunition began keyholing quite severely. At 5ft, the spread was … Continue reading →

A contemplative shooter

Posted on December 23, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Today, several of my friends went for a shooting walk out to another friend’s farm. I love being able to continue chatting without plugs or muffs being required, shooting at clays and targets of opportunity all the while.

Mutual support

Went to Horse Quarters with friends today. Took quite a few photos of horseback riding. Also got a little marksmanship instructing done. SU22 with PA micro dot (very useful as two of three shooters today were cross-eye dominant) and AAC … Continue reading →

Integrally suppressed 10-22 (AAC barrel) with 4x Leupold scope and 25-rd magazine. I try to start new shooters with quiet, accurate and easily operated firearms. It’s important to make the first session fun. Once trigger control and sight alignment are … Continue reading →
