Always a good day when you get some range time in. Thanks for sharing the pics! |

I wish it would stop raining up here. No rain, but it is Texas. About 90 degrees. Sure made my day at work a little more bearable! Glad someone didn't have to work today. I work a schedule called 9-80. I work 9 hour days and get every other Friday off. The range was almost empty today. It's a lot more crowded on Saturday. Today, I also tried out some of the Federal XM193 that I bought on this site. It sure shoots good. |

Here's TMAN shooting his Romanian SAR3 with an ACE buttstock and a Galial grip, in .223: Pull that elbow in TMAN! [:p] |

When he saw the pic, he said, "What's my elbow doing sticking out like that"? (Probably, it's cause he's getting old and needs it for balance.) |

Have him wear a shock collar. Everytime the elbow goes up, the red button goes down! [8D] |

Here, let a girl show him how to do it right. If only she was a little older, I'd offer to work up a trade. [:D] But, being that TMAN loads up target-quality .223 ammo for us to use in our bench rifles, I am willing to put up with his questionable form. |

WAIT!
I thought having your elbow sticking out like that was proper stance, so tucking your elbows in standing is normal? I just got ragged by Sniper_Wolfe for not putting my elbows out, it does seem like the rifle is more secure when your elbow is out though. |

I just got ragged by Sniper_Wolfe for not putting my elbows out, it does seem like the rifle is more secure when your elbow is out though. Actually, the old Army taught you to hold your elbow level with the ground just like TMAN is doing. (He learned that with Custer just before he was discharged and Custer went to Little Big Horn.) Nowadays, probably due to clearing rooms and going through doorways, you are taught to keep it down next to your side. In fact, SWAT teams are taught to face the target squarely and keep both elbows tucked in to make maximum use of body armor and to diminish the size of the profile. At Thunder Ranch, in the Urban Rifle course, Clint teaches you to keep the elbows in tight. |

Dosent make a dif with me.
Out or in I shoot the same and with full-auto I like it out, gives me more control. It looks like the butt is on the top of his shoulder? Then again I dont know but I like mine in my shoulder firm. |

How's that red dot working for you?
I had one on my 16" but took it off before I really got a handle on what it would do. Thx, Tj BTW: Glad you had fun and nice rifles. BTW2: Looks like you put on a few pounds since the last pic I saw of you. LOL |

I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I paid less than $50 for it at a gun show. I don't know what a $400 one does better. Maybe the expensive ones are tougher. But for shooting cans on the dirt bank, the BSA works great. BTW2: Looks like you put on a few pounds since the last pic I saw of you. LOL And to think that I thought we were buddies! Actually, I had anorexia, but I think I've about got it licked. |

The weight comment was jest only my friend for I'm not one to talk. Kind of the pot and kettle story. You look good, as Norm would say for an old geezer like us.[:D] |

I knew I was letting this site influence me too much. I'll break it out again and give it a try. One other thing, Tom. My RRA is a flattop. I have a RRA Tactical Sight Rail on it. It is very solid and, as I'm sure you know, a solid base is the real secret to an accurate scope. It is rock solid. Here's another photo. Notice the empty brass by the front sight. That's a quick camera! [img]http://photos.ar15.com/ImageGallery/IG_LoadImage.asp?iImageUnq=12079[/img] |

Then again I dont know but I like mine in my shoulder firm. OP is correct about the elbow in being a urban/cqb thing. Outside it's not very important. The buttstock high on the shoulder is another "mostly" urban/cqb thing. When on the move it brings the rifle inline with your eyes ratehr than bringing your head down to the rifle and allows you to shoot on the move without becoming disoriented. |

Torf, et al.
That's how markmanship was taught at Fort Jackson 44 years ago (1959) and validated by many tens of thousands of rounds since. (that's an era when hitting the target meant something) I put in more time at the shooting range each week than you do in the chow line. Here is a shot with the real thing with a bit of a tuck on the elbow. [img]http://www.gunsnet.net/album/data/500/3781hk5_gun.jpg[/img] |

We called them Brown Booters for their boots where brown compared to black. I often wondered if todays military called us "Shirt Tuckers" for we wer required to have them tucked in. LOL |

LOL As usual, Tom gives away our age. LOL. We could also be called "In Liners" as we were required to keep the button line on our shirt fronts in line with our zippers on our pants. Drill Sergeant Prigmore was a real stickler for detail and would use foul language if he spotted sloppiness. Of course, nowadays, I have to look in a mirror to see if it all lines up.[:)] |

TRG PS. I was thinking that a light shade of pink to match your skin tone. And that hat? Let's try the one from this pic instead, mmm-kay? [img]http://www.rag-dog.com/html/SP006.jpg[/img] |
