I believe it is as simple as the email was auto-generated, and there was no logic behind what order the information was queried from the database and was inserted into the email template. I don't believe order is relevant to anything, but I have been wrong before!

Thanks!

Semi-random question: Does anyone know who I can contact to correct my 3GN season scores? Somehow my 3 scores got split into 2 of me.

This... We have to be back in DC Saturday night to fly back, so I'm hoping we're on the morning squad!

I talked to her last week. She apologized profusely for being out of touch. I can forgive her considering how much she does!

Can you expand on this statement? Is that birdshot only, or are slugs and/or buckshot allowed? Thanks!

There sure are a lot of experts around here... Just because you say something is fact doesn't make it so. Energy doesn't just "dissolve". It's simple physics. Yes, when you adrenaline is pumping it may be less noticable, but it doesn't change the sheer physics of the problem. More is more, even in the worst public schools. But I'm not sure that you get to determine when the difference is negligible, and this discussion is about the theory behind it and applying that theory to real life. More recoil, even in the slightest, increases your time to next shot, all other things being equal (reliability, trigger, weight, technique, etc). They are not fundamentally different, and they surely aren't on opposite spectrums of weaponry. But please feel free to "educate" me instead of copping out with a statement like "any reasoning about recoil may be lost in an explanation". If fit, swing weight, "pointability", choke choice, ammo, technique, etc is all the same, can you really sit here and tell me that recoil has no effect? And are you REALLY going to sit here and tell me you get ZERO muzzle rise from your shotgun? Yes, recoil has more of an impact at distance. Not sure anyone ever said otherwise. But I would argue that static clays at longer (shotgun) distances are just as challenging as any offhand rifle shot at distance. It's all relative. They are different enough that 10 yards on shotgun doesn't equal 10 yards on rifle, but then again the targets are different as well. I think some people are interjecting other issues into the discussion. The title was "shotgun recoil", not "which shotgun has the best recoil compared to all other factors related to that particular gun and all other external factors not regarding recoil". And for the record, I shoot a Benelli.

The Larue SPR (LT-104) is $145 from Larue with the VFZ mount. Do you really need levers on a competition rifle anyways?

I find this thread interesting. Why is there such a difference in stance between recoil on rifles and shotguns? There is thread after thread on reducing recoil and muzzle flip on rifles, but mention recoil on a shotgun and you hear statements like "cowboy up", "a 15 year old girl doesn't cry about the Benelli", and "it's all in your head". The basic principle is the same. I'm not concerned about the recoil on my rifle in relation to "pain". I'm concerned about how far that front sight (or crosshair) comes off the target so I can get the next shot on target faster. Same principle applies to shotgun. The less my bead jumps, the faster I can empty the tube accurately. And let's face it, in shotgun it's all about speed AND accuracy. Makeup shots are expensive.

We had to leave prior to the results being tallied to catch our flight. Anybody have any idea when they may be emailed or posted somewhere?

That mean you're not going to make it, or did you have an extra room? Looking forward to having you on our squad again!

Knights Armament handstop. Designed specifically for that purpose. Here

Here is my opinion, so take it for what it's worth. Don't use the chrono results to build your ballistics chart. Use your chrono results to build your load and check your work. It may not be accurate from an actual fps standpoint, but it should be accurate enough for you to measure extreme spread and standard deviation. Once you get done with your load development, then do out and build your ballistics chart based on known distance shooting. It's easy enough to reverse engineer a ballistics calculator once you know how many clicks (or whatever) you need at 100, 200, 300 and 400 yards.

I also load Varget with 168gr SMK's. You won't go wrong with that combination.

I would take a caliper and measure some rounds before and after chambering. Don't fire, just chamber and eject. Also, inspect the rounds when you eject them.
