One of the best events, imo. Strength, endurance, skill, and precision. Under pressure.

Ban combat training and weapons of war.
No really I love how our national shooting association wants to purge combat elements from shooting sports so I Always say that they need to start with the Biathlon. PS our shooting association advocates stricter gun regulation than the Bradys I kid you not. |

Seems like a royal pita Aguila target, and some higher end manufacturers of precision .22 ammo. It's actually amazing how accurate Winchester Standard Velocity is. As long as the bullet doesn't push the transonic barrier, even relatively low cost ammo punches a single hole at 50yds from a good rifle off a bench rest. Since Air rifles and .22LR is all the Europeans are allowed, they grow up with them and have built some incredibly crazy accurate rifles. The Hammerli airguns with electronic triggers are awesome to shoot, but very far from "affordable". |
