Wow, great history. We did stop at our local Holland Town Schut on Sunday afternoon. I wanted to see how it was shot. Large turnout. Parking lot was full. Many familys with lawn chairs, picnic lunches. Kids and grand kids. All wearing hearing protection. No alcahol until after the shooting is done. ...

More Schut history.

In North Eastern WI in the midwestern USA we have some interesting shooting traditions. Krag shooters may find this interesting. Various European immigrant groups setteled here including a significant group from Holland. For the past 172 years, the people of Hollandtown USA hold an old tradition cal...

My must apologize for missing this interesting post. I've used many of the no drill sights and have a few opinions about features and benefits.

My best cast bullet accuracy with IMR 4198 with 200 Grain bullet low power loads are in ...

A mix of shotguns, lever action rifles and a couple modified service rifles. I highlighted the man in the center right with his Krag. Jeff The Cate...

Speaking of match shooting. The summer season is coming. I always like to see what turns out for the CMP vintage matches. This photo was taken at the CMP games matches in Oklahoma a couple years ago. Gotta love a guy like this. Semi auto British Bren, firing offhand at 200 yards. Read the rules ref....

OK I will confess that I do shoot an AR in competition. Of course I must say I like the sight radius of a M1898 Krag rifle more better. But since you asked. We generally used to shoot 69 Gr BTHP bullets at 200 and 300 yards and switch to 80 grain at 600 yards. We have learned with reloading (in quan...
