      In ear ear protection

      I paid $50 for custom molded earplugs 13 years ago. Still using the same pair and use them quite a bit. I did have a back up set made a few years ago, but have yet to use them since the originals are still working fine. At Camp Perry with rifles firing all around you and in the pit as rounds...

      Camp Perry

      6 Man Team Match in 2014 Standing 200 yards pair firing (2 team members share a firing point, take turns, take a shot out of turn and earn a miss for score), 10 shots per team member. When finished, rotate out to the next two shooters. The rapid fire strings are fired one team member at...

      Camp Perry

      Rifle Squadded Practice had rain today and after all the waiting they made them evacuate the range (must have been lightning). A friend on the AMU posted a photo of a few pair of boots sitting in front of a fan to dry. They would have running the M16 EIC match on Day of SAFS in the rain. Looks...

      Camp Perry

      It's quite the experience, isn't it? We did CMP rifle week for 10 years. That's an all day affair to shoot 50 round with 6 relays. They plan to install the E-targets for rifle in the next couple years.

      Camp Perry

      My wife and I just got back from Pistol Phase and both of us came home with pistol leg points towards the Distinguished Pistol badge. We both earned Distinguished Rifleman and it was her idea to try for double distinguished by shooting pistol. I didn't think I would like NRA Precision...

      CMP Garand Match May 28, 2016

      Sorry I did not get back sooner since I received the notification from the forum after the match. For all and any match at Pensacola Rifle Club, you do not need to be a member to participate.

      CMP Garand Match May 28, 2016

      I had been running 12 targets at a time, but this year during high power rifle I have found a way to run 14 targets at a time. In previous years, we have run the match three times. So if you want to shoot a 2 or 3 different rifles or categories, that is possible (and some do). I forgot to add...

      Any good ranges in Mobile, AL?

      The Pascagoula club is really convenient from Mobile. Take 10 until you see the welcome to Mississippi sign and exit right there. Not very much farther from there. From Pensacola it is 85 miles to the range gate with almost all of it on I-10. The tunnel on the way back in the afternoon was...

      Grain/twist question

      He needs to contact the US military since they have been known to use M193 (55gr) in M16s and M4s which have the 1:7 twist. Probably been trying to find out what's wrong for decades. :lol:

      Trap Shoot This Saturday 9-26 9am

      Pensacola Rifle and Pistol Club started their trap shoots up again after getting the machine repaired and a change in match directors over the summer. Currently, it's $5 per round of 25 birds, my understanding is the same price for member or non-member. I haven't shot trap in probably 10...

      FS: M1 Garand Navy Trophy Rifle 7.62X51 (.308) Pensacola

      Wow! Nice M1. I was really surprised to see the lockbar rear sight on there. I shoot a lot of high power and have only seen two Navy Trophy Rifles before (winners who were shooting them in matches) and they were built up by Crane as full National Match. Hope you do well with your sale, there...

      68gr Hornandy HPBT 223/5.56

      I second Ramshot Tac. It is great powder in an AR, I have used it for highpower competition with Hornady 75s and currently Nosler 77s with great results. Target pictured was a practice shot at 200 yards with a NM AR15, using the highpower prone position with sling and iron sights, single load...

      22LR Supply?

      Wife and I each picked up a 5K case of CCI standard velocity for pistol competition July 5th . . . at Camp Perry, OH from Champions Choice on Commercial Row. We waited 2 hours in line, some were in line when we arrived on Post to do in-processing for the matches. $28 Ohio sales tax was less...

      Kaboom!

      WOW! Good to hear YOU are ok. Really makes me glad to have that powder check on the 650 if it indeed happened to be a double charge.

      DILLON RL550 Press **Pensacola

      Last I heard Dillon charges around $80 which includes shipping back to you for what I think they call a full clean and lube. I've seen lots of photos of presses Dillon has brought back from the dead during this process. They do a full disassembly, chemical clean, repair or replace any worn or...

      Youth - shooting hobby introduction

      I'm a rifle guy, so I agree with a starter course at an Appleseed. Since he's 17 make sure he uses an AR with iron sights since young eyes can see a nice crisp post. Then have him come out and watch a highpower rifle match at Pensacola Rifle and Pistol Club. You do not have to be a member to...

      Thinking about starting to reload

      For years I have only loaded .223 for service rifle competition and started out using a single stage Rock Chucker as advised by others since I was a newb to reloading. When you do things in stages like priming, powder drops, and bullet seating a hundred or so at a time, you really learn get...

      Aim Rifle Club at Legion OTG, Blakely, GA

      I had the opportunity to run the tower for the final highpower rifle matches of the season at AIM Rifle Club, they closed out the 1,000 yard season last weekend. It's a 3 hour drive from Pensacola, but such a nice place I wanted to share a couple pics from the Mid-Range match on the last...

      WTS Krieger SS 1:7.7 National Match AR15 Barrel

      I had someone ask if these are still available, yes they are. If you fire at 300 yards, these barrels are known to be very effective to around 12,000 rounds. I use 2 uppers for competition so when the #1 gets to 4,000ish rounds, the #2 upper that is used for 200 yard competition goes in for...
