  • Canadian Rimfire Precision Series CRPS

    Canadian Rimfire Precision Series CRPS

    This past weekend, I went to my first CRPS shoot. Although I’ve shot lots of 3 gun, some IPSC & IPSC-ish pistol matches, and Service Rifle/CQB a few times, I had not done much precision rifle shooting. 3 gun reaches out to 400 meters sometimes, but we’re shooting 223 at big steel plates, and that’s…

  • MOA and Adjustment Required for Shooting 22LR Long Range

    MOA and Adjustment Required for Shooting 22LR Long Range

    When shooting 22LR at long ranges, the bullets rainbow pretty fast. Making consistent hits at long range becomes a game of gaining more and more elevation in your optics and mount. You can use these 3 factors to extend the range of your rifle/scope combination: Total elevation of your scope: though usually you just get…

  • Girsan MC28SA Review

    Girsan MC28SA Review

    The Girsan MC28SA is a Turkish made, semi-automatic handgun that copies a lot from the S&W M&P. But here’s the real kicker, I got this pistol for $289 Canadian dollars! Due to the Turkish Lira losing half of its value since 2015/2016, it’s cheaper, by far, than anything we can get in Canada other than…

  • Acceptable Accuracy From Different Shooting Positions

    Acceptable Accuracy From Different Shooting Positions

    I’ve seen a couple videos online where people are shooting from compromised positions and then using the results as a testament to the accuracy of their firearms and on the flip side I’ve seen a few people claiming ridiculously good results from their rifles as well. I thought I’d do a combo person+firearm accuracy averages…

    Shooting Sports in Canada

    I thought it’d be fun to put together a quick reference of the different kinds of shooting sports that you see up here in Canada. Without any further ado: International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC) IPSC is a timed action pistol sport: fast shooting, reloading on the move, etc. Shooters are judged by their “hit factor”:…

  • Silicon Carbide Pistol Grip Mod DIY

    Silicon Carbide Pistol Grip Mod DIY

    So, if you’re going to shoot 3 gun, you can run factory pistols, or you can mod your pistol to compete better. As a Canadian who can’t run a concealed carry pistol, I opted for the competition pistol. You can either run a really grippy grip panel, or skateboard tape, or epoxy on some Silicon…

  • 1911 Upgrades for 3 Gun – AKA Polishing a Turd

    1911 Upgrades for 3 Gun – AKA Polishing a Turd

    Here in Canada, our pistol mags are limited to 10, more or less. So when it comes to shooting 3 gun, there actually isn’t a huge benefit to running double stack mags. While in the US, standard mags will hold 17 rounds or so, they’re all at 10 in Canada. So, I got to thinking…

  • FNS9L vs Glock34 for 3 Gun

    FNS9L vs Glock34 for 3 Gun

    I’ve been running an FNS9L in competition for a while now and just recently switched over to a Glock 34, so I’ve got a bit of perspective on their differences. The Glock I’ve got to compare to is the Gen 4 Glock 34. That’s still the current generation as far as Glock 34s go today,…
