@THERIFLESILHOUETTECHANNEL This scope does not have a parallax adjustment, correct? In this case, is this adjustment not important for this type of competition?
@@edu_hunk5199 the FX-3 25x has an adjustable objective. Since the targets are at different distances, 40, 60, 77, and 100 meters, and adjustable objective/parallax is necessary.
The 6.5x20x40 is almost the perfect scope. I just wish Leupold would off them with more options, like a Mil reticle and Mil turrets. And with turrets that are about half the height of the ones on the scope now.
I'm taveling from the US into Canada to Alaska and then back to the US the following week. Do i have to reimport and pay another fee for the firearm again once i travel back from alaska? Thanks!
Your Canadian 5589 paperwork is valid for 60 days, so as long as you are traveling with the same firearms that are on the form then you shouldn’t have to pay an additional fee. It would be best to call the RCMP at 1-800-731-4000 and have them answer any questions you may have since laws and regulations tend to change quickly in Canada, and The Rifle Silhouette Channel does not provide any legal or regulatory advice. Hope that helps!
I am a US citizen and obtained my PAL and RPAL a few months ago in BC. Can I cross the Canadian border in Quebec with a secured and locked non-restricted shotgun on my motorcycle (it has a lockable box attached to the rear of the bike - and travel across Canada to BC with the firearm? Thanks.
Good question! I have crossed into BC from the US with a non-restricted firearm (rifle) in a hard lockable case strapped to the back of my BMW 1200 GS Adventure without issue. However, I would contact the RCMP at 1-800-731-4000 to get the most up to date information. I hope that helps.
Love the channel! Can you make a video about the basics of Smallbore silhouette shooting like gear such as the weight of the rifle and dimensions of stocks, trigger weight, round capacity, magazines or single shot as defined by the rules, range setup (meters vs yards and which distance of measure is more prevalent in the U.S., course of fire, and the differences in Hunter and Standard class. Also, a video on a budget beginner and a professional rifle setup would be cool too, like what would be a good rifle to start with out of the box, what rings and scope, and things like that.
Is this the model 182666? I don't know why in the world they quit the target dot, they should listen to the customer and offer it again! Everyone in the Shiluoette community I know feels the same about the dot!
What about going through Canada to Alaska? I read on the government website that you can transport up to 50,000 rounds if you’re “in transit”. Do you know if that’s true or what kind of ammo is allowed? Also same question with firearms for “in transit”.
Hello! Thank you for your question, unfortunately I am not familiar with the process to transit through to Alaska. That question would be best answered by ATF or the RCMP. Here is the website for the RCMP Firearms division. rcmp.ca/en/firearms You should be able to find contact information there. Hope that helps!
@THERIFLESILHOUETTECHANNEL I'm only starting with the silhouette adventure and building my dedicated setup: CZ457 Royal with Delta Optical Titanium 4-16x42 on top of it. It should be very light weight. I'm doing a lot of dry firing practice at home, and I had a few range trips to our facility where we have great conditions to shoot silhouette. You can check out the Fermoy Rifle Club in Cork Ireland.
So can you please bottom line this.... Are Pistols (4'' 9mm) allowed to be brought into Canada from the US (Personal protection only) if we fill out these forms ahead? Are there any rules against PCCs? (Ruger PC9) Appreciate your responses....
Hello! These forms are for unrestricted firearms. Pistols with barrels over 4.13 inches (under 4.13 are in the prohibited class) and semi-automatic rifles are considered restricted firearms and have special rules. With how fast laws are changing in Canada I would contact the RCMP at 1-800-731-4000 to get the most up to date information. I hope that helps.
I know this is old, but I'll post this here anyways in case it's relevant to others. You many not bring any firearm into Canada for personal protection.
You would have to contact the RCMP for that information. That would fall under permanent importation, this video pertains to temporary travel into Canada. I hope that helps!
I would say no to that. The aggression emanating from this music does not result in higher score on paper. Maybe on the streets of destroyed cities, but not on the range.@@THERIFLESILHOUETTECHANNEL
Thank you. This video helped me to be confident in my first expensive, for me, scope purchase. I went with the 6.5-20x50 VX-3HD for my new 22-250 for target shooting and a bit of fox hunting.
Well there you go, my first lesson learnt. My main target riffle has a 1000 lb trigger pull and 6 inches of multi stage creep, it's a 32 fpe springer air rifle. I have a new rifle coming next week and I'll practice this technique. Thank you.
I own this scope and have it mounted on my Weihrauch spring air pellet rifle. It is one of the few spring air rated scopes. It works very well for hunting with a pellet rifle. The only drawback is the fine reticle- but its more than manageable.
Buenas noches amigos, muy interesante competencia, un orgullo que la silueta metálica mexicana, atraviesa fronteras. Tengo una pregunta , que es un rifle standard???
Please ask Leupold to make interchangable reticle scopes. For example the Leupold Mark 3HD , I like the price but not the reticle. I wish the reticle would slide in and out or if Leupold would make the Mark 3HD in Duplex reticle for hunters.
Thank you for this video 👍 I've just discovered your channel. It's great to see hear from others about what they do to improve themselves in our discipline. Watching from Australia 🇦🇺
I own the smaller Leupold 3-9x33 EFR. It's a great lightweight scope on my 10/22. As for the images you show here, they both old and new versions appear to have significant chromatic aberration. Your thoughts?
Thank you . I wish I could borrow your eyes. I see no difference between the two when I look at the images you showed. Also I don't see why the new Leupold is not side focus. Besides this Leupold is still making scopes with old VX-2 optics (Freedom model); I don't understand that either. I hope they don't go the route that all other scope makiners like Beaver went.
I noticed that the Leupold side-focus scopes focus down to 35 yards while the AO scopes can focus at 10 yards. I have no idea what the technical reason is for this.
No website but if you go to the end of the video, Steve’s email and phone number are listed. Give him a call or send him a message and he will make you one up. He can inlet for the CZ457, he’s done them before. Hope that helps!
Hey Eric. Great video. Thanks for all the good work you do promoting our sport. Your technique tips are very useful. You shoot at a wide verity of ranges so maybe you can give me some insight on how the targets are positioned. At the Pe ElI match I noticed the chickens face left, pigs and turkey right and then rams left. The rule book indicates each critter must face the same direction. My roots go back a ways, we set everything facing left for one match then the second match they all faced right. Is this practice in use anymore? Or has everyone gone to the left, right, right, left positions? Also are those same positions commonly used for centerfire matches? There is a debate at my club about the way targets are set, it will be helpful to have a wider perspective on common practice especially at the tournaments. Thanks Eric
Hello! Thank you for your kinds words. I'm working on putting out more videos, life just gets in the way sometimes. To answer your question, in section 4.1 of the rule book it states "All targets of the same type shall be faced in the same direction in each bank." I interpret that as all the chicken type targets need to face the same direction (left or right) in each bank. So you can't have #1 chicken facing left and #2 chicken facing right and so on. So it doesn't really matter which way they face as long as they're facing the same direction in each bank of five, as long as you have the type of target that can be reversed. That also means you could potentially have the first bank of chickens facing left and the second facing right. Same can apply to pig type targets, turkey type targets, and ram type targets. If you look at the NRA sanctioned cast ductile iron targets such as found here ncsilhouette.com/products/ you will see they only have one side designated to be shot. Chickens and Rams face left and pigs and turkeys face right with these targets and that is the only direction they can be set. Those are the targets that are used in Pe Ell. At some ranges I have competed at, especially for high-power... depending on lighting conditions one side of the animal will be painted black and the other side white to allow for a better contrast against the berm. The only thing that really matters, according to the rules is that a bank of five animals are facing the same direction. I hope that helps! I would love to know how that debate settles out. Erich
Thanks for a quick reply. Glad to hear more videos are on the way. I am aware of the rule and agree with your interpretation. I also am aware of the cast targets and the wide impact their design limitation has had on target positioning. I’ve never seen cast targets in Canada, even so the trend seems to be left, right, right, left. My question: Is left, right, right, left method of setting targets as being the most commonly used? (Even without cast targets.) My argument, train both ways and be ready for whatever the host club prefers for target orientation. But if everyone sets left, right, right, left then what’s the point? In your “Active Trigger” video ( great instruction there! ) your swinger has a chicken facing both ways, so I suspect you train both ways. I think greater versatility is a huge benefit. It creates well rounded shooters who aren’t stuck in a particular way of doing things and loose their confidence if something is different. Thanks again for taking the time to respond. I hear you about life getting in the way, lol. Have a great day.
@@allenc5108 Target direction really depends on the range you go to. My training used to incorporate targets in both directions. That's why my swingers are set up that way. Lately however, I've taken my training to a point where I am no longer shooting for the animal, I'm shooting for a spot on the animal. This way it doesn't really matter which way the target is facing nor does it matter what target I'm shooting, what I'm trying to hit has nothing to do with either of those things. I hear people say turkeys are the hardest animal and that can be true if what you're trying to hit is the animal. Shooting for a spot on the target makes all of the targets the same... it's simply trying to hit a spot on a field of white, or black, or whatever color the animal is painted. I hope that makes sense.
@@THERIFLESILHOUETTECHANNEL Thanks for insight into target positions. I like the notion of aiming for a spot on the target. I see how that will make the individual targets and direction a lot less relevant, more of a distraction actually. Thanks, I like that. It’ll certainly kick my game up a bit.
Just found this channel! You have great advice on shooting for just about everyone. When people can see what you're doing it takes it to another level in understanding the shot process. This is what David Tubb talked about many years ago. Thank you for sharing!😃👍
