WOW, congrads Tom, all hail the the King!

on a AR, a 25 yard zero will put you about 5" hi at 100 yards, a 50 yard zero put you about 2" hi at 100 and very close at 200. depending on ammo of course. just do not take this as hard fact, its only a guide

on PD 5 i talked to Mrs Wilson about the free pass disable shooter are suppose to have. her comment is we do have free pass on what eqipment that is needed, i can use. i told her the rule says you mount the equipment anywere i need. but mag holsters are the racing type so they can be canted forward and not legal. again she i stated doe nots matter for the disable. i told there is no exeption about that in the rules
5 9.1 on the ladies gear the worded rule does not match what is drawn out on the picture

Looking at the Handitasker reminds me of some plastic I used in a project. Essentially, it's the same stuff the white cutting boards are made of. I got some scraps from a company in Louisville a few years back when we lived there. When I say scraps, these were like 15" wide by 36" long. A few of those and you'd be set.
I don't remember the guy's name I spoke with but you might call and tell them what you're doing and see if they could ship you some scrap. They have all different thicknesses. You could get the 3/8" stuff and cut holes in it to relieve some of the weight.
thanks, i will check on that.

it is just a game and not real traing.

what about some thing like this http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dveCUn6J9kI
that is a great tool, but i am wanting to shoot 600 and 1000.
deer hunting that will be great
-
i should know the rules better, but just enjoy the shooting
-
So RWF, you can use a front rest but not a rear rest, is that correct?
Does the front "have" to be a by-pod?
correct but you can use a rear bag.
no i do not think so as i have seem some very nice highly machined "bi-pods"
-
This one is pretty cool http://equalizershootingsystem.com/equalizer-options.html
its very cool, but $8,000. it seems like on a hunting show a few years ago they showed someone who was only able to use his breath thru a tube to pull the trigger get a deer with one of those.

Browse the following links. You may find some ideas.
there are some very idea's in those pictures.
-
Would you be interested in using something like this?
http://www.meijer.com/s/caldwell-lead-sled-plus-shooting-rest/_/R-165502?cmpid=cashoppingcom
Looks like it would give more room for you arms to move around the rifle.
Just putting ideas out.
thanks but again i am sure the rear support would make it illegal. i know suppresser's are also illegal but at club matches no one complains, i did one time show up with a suppresser and a rear mono pod the other shooters did not like the rear support so i removed it.
-
This is what I am talking about, but bigger.
WOW, now that's the sxit. but yes bigger. to allow use of a bipod. but that shooter is able to bend forward into his gun and i can not do that, so would a bigger one still work?
-
I wouldn't be surprised if the NRA Protest Committee were to take issue with the front vertical edge/lip you have installed on the bench. Allowing your bi-pod to rest against that edge/lip could be seen as an advantage to you. They may or may nor require your shooting surface to be completely flat.
true that is why i told to send pictures, but on that point i believe most F-class shooters use there loops on there mats to hold the bipod in place, i know i use too.
and thanks all for the links and i promise i will check them all out.
also i am hoping to link up with one of you soon who better explain what i need.

Personally I enjoy getting out and shooting IDPA, just to send some rounds down range if nothing else.
Whom ever dreams up some of these scenarios and stages must be having a relapse from their college experimental days...
Actual scenario from memory: You and your small child are at the park sitting at a picnic table (the child is represented by a heavy doll). When several armed bad guys approach you and demand your money and valuable.
You are to grab your gun out of your man-purse on the picnic table, grab your kid (doll) and put two rounds strong hand only in the torso of each bad guy. You are not to drop the kid, you are to use the kid as a shield, shower him / her with hot brass, use kid as a chest rig / body armor and blow his / her ear drums out?
I laughed so hard at the stage description when being read I got the hiccups. Guess it could happen, but certainly not the man-purse thing :rofl:
+1 just having fun putting rounds down range! now do not forget its based on real life, like the time at a major you are riding your bike and can not stop pedeling til you shot all the bad guys. yes it was a real bike with the rear wheel off the ground. it was different
-
I'm so glad you didn't take what I said as a slight. I was just trying to wrap my head around it.
no problem
-
like the suppresser the rear mono pod is not legal
-
I agree about the Jawhorse. It is a great tool, and even if you had to use two, you could put together something that would be easy to put up and tear down.
i have to find one first the table top has to at least 36" off the ground, but i agree one on each side should be very solid.
we used the old table top to shoot out to 800 yards.
-
Hmmm the more I look at what you have and picture it in use in my mind I think two thoughts.
1. Something that could be mounted to your chair would be ideal like Red said.
2. Barring that wouldn't it help to have adjustable legs so it could be used easier on uneven ground? Maybe mount a few levels so it would be easy to adjust to make a flat surface.
This is actually a pretty cool project, I wish I was handier so I could cobble some tables up for you to try out.
BTW, nice shooting, those targets are looking good.thanks, just hope once i get it all worked out i can do that at a real distance. i do have levels just need to remove them from the old top. i do have some stuff to put under the legs

You're not going to let this one go are ya? We all know your participation at that club has nothing to do with your injuries. For the people not familiar with the history, please don't try to make it seem that way.
Edit: typo
why would say that, where did you read that intent. please stop trying to read between the lines. history? i shot there for more than 10 years. :) lets keep this thread on track

now remember i cannot bend
i have drive up to the rifle and the scope. the scope is mounted on a extra riser so the scope and rings could be moved back more than 2" so i can see thru it. my fingers are in the way when i open the bolt. they hit the windage adjustment

If you broke your neck and was paralyzed wouldn't your arms be paralyzed too?
if it was a total break of the cord. broke/crushed C5,C6 & C7 and as i understand one of them is not complete. having to relearn how to use my arms and hands. lots of work yet to go. wanted to try a classifier but was told not to show up.
Darn wife! cuts me no slack!

yesturday. for the first time since i got hurt (still do not the okay to shoot at all) we to the range to shoot the M10 she got me last Sept. for 2 reasons really so i could try to shoot at distance and see if i can use a standard range table. the standard table is too low and the cut out is too small for my chair.
back to the subject my 2nd shot at 200, i called a center hit. the wife said using the spotting scope no it was not and i said yes it is. so she took the range cart and went and looked, then sayed i told u so, no center hit, then had her show me were it was on the extra targets we had. you be the judge.
then i tryed at 400 my guess for the bullet drop was off (chrono got a hole it) so it took a couple of shots but pictured is my 5 and 6th shots at 400. then tryed 4 shots at nickle for fun. and called it a day. no hits on the nickle.
PS she checks out tgo from time to time, so help me out on my center hit.
