And 2023 came to an end... It was so intense, I practice so much, I shot around 40.000 rounds (well spread among my rifles), that the undesirable happened... I burnout myself, physically and mentally. Knowing what I had to do, I stopped for 6 long months, and gladly I did such a long break...

As usual a bit rewind...;) I have to confess that during the hard preparation times I dreamed about being successful at Plzen. I couldn't help, even if I know that these kinds of thoughts put unnecessary stress on ourself. But "I had a dream"! Plzen range is within a huge sports area, where...

Always free recoil.

To all shooters, please study this phrase... that's the development spinal cord.

Let's rewind a bit... When you target a major competition, you should be able to know what to practice and how to mentally adapt to the new challenge. You should not overthink and rationalize that a Worlds is the end of the line, or insurmountable in terms of preparation, being gear or shooter...

Shooting a sporter requires a much refined BR shooting technique. This is needed, because sporter rifles are much lighter, have a smaller front stock support, and a lower power scope. Aiming with a sporter is also a bit different, again, because the scope has less power, so reticules have even a...

I think I have the needed recoil (time after) to continue to tell how I did get there (my story). I have had, thanks to many kind shooters, positive feedback about what I have written. Thank you! In fact, as I said before, sharing is the key to progress. But, please remind, that's my approach...

There are a lot of good joystick front rests, but just a few excellent ones. Like cars, all will drive you along to your destiny, but just a few will excel in comfort and confidence. I have used quite a few ones, but from the last 6 years, and will continue to be, I just rely on one brand...

Well done Tony.

Tony, I'm afraid not in our time... Spoken some time ago with them, and the market is too small to produce them again. They are full speed on triggers and CF actions.

Tim, not really... In fact, all tuners, whatever what can be said, are a mechanic system that puts a moving weight, in and out, in front of the crown. Being a mechanism that allows a moving weight, not much can be different... well... The RS MK2 is really a tuner, and like car tyres, they look...

Rimfire ammo is night and day from centerfire ammo. A chrono is a must have tool with centerfire ammo, because you can control everything, but on rimfire, it's just a nice to have as you can control nothing. Not even the speed value that comes in the box can, majority of the times, be...

On top of those showed Mitutoyo has excellent tension scales

Thanks Graham for your kind words. In fact, trigger pull consistency is a major key success factor. And many don't realize it, just because: "where can the rifle go, if it's on a rest?" It goes weird, I can tell you, if we don't pay attention on how we pull the trigger. Of course, the lighter...

Top front rests at moment are the Lenzi (with or without moving front bag) and SEB, as I favour joystick ones. Bear in mind that Lenzi rear bags are also used to center fire, so long ears won't pose lateral troque as BR50 will. So, for me, either the 95 or the 85mm ears length. I use 85mm even...
