Perceived Lead
The subject of perceived lead continues to come up in the forums we post to. This is my most recent post and encompasses personal experiences with longer barrels. I thought you might enjoy the perspective and the analogies. It is what it is. It becomes...
Camanche Hills and Our Custom Stocks
Seeing the Bird Behind the Barrel at Camanche Hills Another great clinic at Camanche Hills in Ione, California, with four days of great weather and great shooters of all abilities. An incredible blue sky dominated the weather. While it was a little cooler than normal for that time of...
Your Comfort Zone and Closing an Eye
Getting out of Your Comfort Zone Well, another successful clinic at our field in Houston at American Shooting Centers. I realized yet another answer to another mystery (or maybe just said it another way) this last weekend. Have you ever stepped up to a station and without thought,...

Ben Avery 2014

Determining Muzzle Length
Determining Muzzle Length I got an email from Grant Lewis this week asking about how we determine the best muzzle length for shooters. He mentioned that some of the better shooters have gone to 34 instead of 32. Well, I called him and he was shocked...
