Had 2 SCATTs out for Jr shooters to practice on and I couldn't get them to stay on-call. Both of them absolutely worthless. I'd shoot, adjust the impact closer to call, shoot again, and it would be off target. One was a USB and the other a wireless. Both sensors were mounted straight and tight. None...

Calibration & sighting shots are the perfect opportunity to force you to work on shot call. Shoot them from position!

I've shot on those and they would be too cumbersome for indoor air.
ETA: I've shot on the HP targets. Do they have indoor targets they haul around too?

Portable Electronic Range technology has been growing so fast lately that I can't keep up with it. Right now, my club has to haul all our gear into our venue and remove all of it when we are done. We are using a Creedmoor portable range. Is there an electronic solution out there that would fit this ...

I would start the younger ones on Daisy AVANTI Champion Model 499 BB guns. I wouldn't move them up to air rifles until they are 12 or 13, but that depends upon how they can handle the air rifles. The 12 year olds that have tried Sporter Air in my club have given up quickly, but that might have been ...

Tough to find something you *don't* have!

Actually, my 4-H club will. We will supply a new club with Daisy 887 rifles & parts, including a CO2 fill adapter. All that we require is that you be part of a funded 501C3 junior program such as 4H, Boy Scouts, etc, have an indoor venue in which to shoot, someone willing to coach/run the team a...

That was it. Thank you!

One of my club's Avantis is malfunctioning - the bolt will not close.
Anyone have any idea how to fix it?

Just FYI kids that age are not going to do well with the CZ T200 or 10 meters.

The BB gun is the right gun for that age.

My club has some 888s for sale reasonable if you are interested.

Do you let your Jr shooters take home their club-owned rifles?
If you do, how has that gone?

I tell them to give me at least 1 hour a day, 5 days a week. I take a survey every meeting. Never get more than a half-hearted-kinda-practiced-maybe-sorta.

Any motivational ideas?

My sons' JROTC teams shoot a 3x10 or 3x20 about three or four times a week. They are probably one of the top ten Navy ROTC teams with a field of almost 3000 shooters. Some of the members on the top all-service teams that I've talked to shoot two or three times per day, six days a week. Just what I ...

I did not get to go to Perry myself for the Open, but my club sent a few shooters. Looking at the results, I see that the Jr ROTC teams really ruled the Sporter match. I have some kids that have shot for 4 years now and aren't anywhere near those ROTC shooters. What's the ROTC secret? Do they meet &...

I have a $2,000 budget for an E-Trainer.
What e-trainer would you recommend for an 8 shooter air rifle team?

Maybe because fewer of the J2s are driving and dating?

I wouldn't worry about staying in sporter - there aren't any matches for it to speak of anyway. Other than Camp Perry, there are basically no Sporter matches in OH, KY or IN.

Great news for Sporter Air that should do a lot to increase the level of competition. http://www.crosman.com/connect/crosman-awarded-army-jrotc-contract-for-competition-air-rifles/ Crosman Corporation, the world’s largest designer and manufacturer of airguns and ammunition, is proud to announce it h...
