If you go onto Cal Zant's Precision Rifle Blog, one of the most common themes when he interviews accomplished shooters about what new shooters should do, is that new shooters should pick something, run it until they find that something specific is holding them back, then change just that one thing. You have to throw a lot of lead downrange to discover the actual issues with your equipment. Part of the reason for that is that - you don't know what you don't know - about what you've got, until you …

This is not for the faint of heart, but for the hard of hearing: Douglas is about to enter a new world. The world of competition. Tomorrow morning at 4:00am Douglas will be thrown unceremoniously into the back of Les' "Look At Me" yellow Jeep, and upon arrival at the Rush Lake Range in Minnesota Douglas will begin spewing the first of 100 plus Berger 105 Hybrids at distant steel targets.

In 2012 benchrest shooter Chris Harris, owner of BulletCentral.com, brought Austrian gunsmith and engineer Andy Atzl's Bix'n Andy triggers to America.

And the other end fits AB Suppressor's Rapt …

An accomplished shooter buddy of mine is going to Tennessee for a family visit, but with the priorities a guy's gotta have, he's going to stop off at an F-Class match in Indiana on his way there. F/TR is his chosen corner of that discipline. A Kauger Arms action is the rifle's anchor/foundation, with a 28" Heavy Varmint MullerWorks cut barrel, Richards Microfit self-finished stock, Vortex scope, Leupold rings, Sinclair bipod makes up the equipment. He's running Lapua brass and Berger 185 Juggern …
