Shotgun Training from Suarez International: new on AllOUtdoor
Learning to run a scattergun.
Hit!
My father’s marksmanship skills amaze me every range trip. Tavor at 100 yards, standing, with an unmagnified optic — four hits in a row on a helmet-sized skillet that was barely visible against the background. He hit a paper plate … Continue reading

Scoping the PTR91
So I finally got curious about the accuracy potential of the MAD 33AR and the PTR91. With iron sights, I can do OK but not well enough to make hits on smaller targets. The scope mount I got didn’t quite fit the … Continue reading
The grin of the win
Today, I was at the range with three friends. We did a little shooting competition. Wooden boards sized about 6″x9″ were propped up on the bushes by the berm and we shot at them from 150 yards. Each shooter had … Continue reading

Pass it on!
It’s good to be a competitive shooter, like Dani Bryan-Nickens for Team CZ Forum. It’s even better to also pass on the skills and the mindset to the next generation. That Volquartsen Scorpion is worth a lot more in competent … Continue reading
A speeding bullet
From NSSF 2015 World Steel Challenge.
7.62x54R proved a bit much for the eight year old girl
A little while ago, Alexis tried SVD sniper rifle, found the recoil excessive. The slanted stock shape contributed to the problem. 6.5 Grendel, a mild cartridge with high ballistic coefficient bullets, may be the reasonable solution for her long-range use. … Continue reading
Trijicon MRO in use
Smith & Wesson MP15-22 with cut down Plinker Tactical magazines (35 rounds down to 20, for shooting prone). The sight is Trijicon MRO provided to Alexis by the maker. I was quite impressed with it — the controls are simple … Continue reading
How long does it take for a cell phone to connect?
A thought exercise for the unarmed: how long does it take for a phone to connect your 911 call? I’ve seen times ranging from about three seconds to nearly fifteen. Let’s assume three seconds and being able to hit speed … Continue reading

Drones in Nashville, success!
Earlier, I asked how to learn all about drones. Today, I met with Snap Roll Media and it was a very friendly event. Looks like we will be striving to be mutually helpful. And my cat might gain airborne overwatch for his … Continue reading
All in a day’s fun
Alexis proved herself a competent gun safety instructor. The SVD 7.62×54 rifle was fun, but the optic on top is no Trijicon… And then there’s the wait to load up the SAW and get to hammering the targets…

Shooting, The Most Inclusive Sport: new on AllOutdoor
What other physical sports can boast the inclusiveness of shooting matches?
Are machine guns really that hard to control?
So many on our side of the gun control fight have despaired of ever getting automatic weapons deregulated to pre-1934 state that they make excuses for the enemy. “Automatics are uncontrollable anyway”, they way. “A waste of ammunition”. It’s a … Continue reading

Competitive 10-22 shooter
Halley, one of the Chamberlains — a family with both parents and all three kids competing in rimfire steel challenge. They all prefer open sights to optics. And the typical result of her efforts:

Extended use report on Kel-Tec RDB: new on AllOutdoor
The first eight months (including pre-production) with the new .223 bullpup
Upgraded 22/45 Lite
Lucid M7 red dot, several Tandemkross parts. Marksman: Yih Chau-Cheng.
Which would be safer to kick?
Sometimes, we read about psychopaths who abuse animals before turning to humans. Strangely, most of them go after bunnies, kittens, puppies and other helpless creatures. very few of them seek the challenge of trying to abuse bulls, full-grown large dog … Continue reading
