  • 22 Rifle Silhouette Match Results
    August 2020 MISSION STATEMENT The object of this organization shall be the encouragement of organized rifle, shotgun and pistol shooting among resi- dents of our community, with a view toward better knowledge on the part of citizens of our community of the safe han- dling and the proper care of firearms, and the development of those characteristics of honesty, good fellowship, self dis- cipline and self reliance that are the essentials of good sportsmanship and the foundation of true patriotism. June 21 - .22 Rifle Silhouette Match Results The Smallbore Silhouette Rifle matches at Capital City Rifle & Pistol Club are held on the "blue" Multi Purpose Range (MPR). We hold two matches - 1 for Standard Rifle, 1 for Hunter Rifle simultaneously, typically on 2 relays. Each match is 40 shots consisting of 10 shots at 4 distances (40,60,77,100m). You have 2 1/2 minutes to knock over your 10 metal targets off-hand. A scoped .22 rifle with a good repeatable elevation knob is invaluable to get the 4 distances correct, although we have several open-sight shooters too. This month we had 17 shooters show up on Father's Day. What a fantastic turn-out! I think the target-setters thought they were going to have an easy day, but we nearly filled all 20 firing points and kept them scrambling. Weather was ideal. Largely sunny, moderate temperatures and no wind. We started practice at 9am and ended the matches at Noon. The club would like to keep things safe, so please remember Ear and Eye protection.

Kits and online tutorials for making guns using unfinished receivers have proliferated in recent years and do not require any particular technical expertise.2 A former Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) special agent described the ease with which fully functional guns can be made at home using these parts: “If you can put Ikea furniture together, you can make one of these.”3 Guns made at home using unfinished receivers have become known as “ghost guns” because they do not have a serial number or any other identifying information and are therefore untraceable when they are recovered after being used in a crime.4 Why are ghost guns currently legal under federal law? Under current federal law, gun manufacturers and importers are required to engrave a

  • Nomenclature This Section Will Deal with the Physicality of the Patrol Rifle
    Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission - Patrol Rifle Instructor Course 2010 Nomenclature This section will deal with the physicality of the patrol rifle: its parts, how to take it apart, how it works, and how to take care of it in order to keep it operating correctly. We will concentrate on the AR-15/M-16 carbine which is the most prevalent model used by law enforcement. Differences between the carbine and the rifle will be noted, and comments about differences with the Ruger Mini-14 will be addressed as they come up. Before we start, a safety note: Anytime one of these ARs is picked up, the handler should manipulate it with the strong hand on the pistol grip, trigger finger straight alongside the lower receiver, and the strong thumb should be resting on top of the horizontal safety lever (selector). Grabbing the pistol grip is easy as that is what it was designed for, straightening the trigger finger to index is not natural and must be trained, and the thumb on top of the safety gives immediate tactile knowledge that the selector is on “safe” (lefties can use their trigger finger on the selector). Some instructors around the country refer to this manipulation skill as the “Tactical Index”. From day one a student should be mandated to handle these weapons in this fashion as this is the way they should be handled in the class room, on the range, and in the street. As an instructor you need to ensure that you not only model, but enforce this behavior.

ICKES, Secretary NATIONAL PARK SERVICE, NEWTON D. DRURV, Director Firing a Smoky Mountain Squirrel Rifle Rifle Making in the Great Smoky Mountains* By Arthur I. Kendall, M. D., Professor Emeritus, Northwestern University Medical School Eastern Frontier Riflemen OVER 170 years ago, in 1767, Daniel Boone and a few intrepid pioneers crossed the Appalachian barrier to the West and penetrated deeply into the country that now comprises parts of the States of Kentucky and Tennessee. They remained some months and returned with accounts of a country richly wooded, with pasture lands, flowing streams, and teeming with game. Soon the first settlers came—Scotch-Irish, English, and a few Huguenots—to establish themselves in the back country across the Appalachian range. They traveled with horses, for there were no roads or navigable streams, and brought with them their few be­ longings—a saw and axe, an auger bit, a hunting knife, a few blankets and coverlets, pots and pans, a gourd of salt, and last, but not least, that remarkable weapon, the American rifle.
