    A question for British members

    Rigby visit last week

    Most of the tips were non-flinch related (footwork, exagerated cheekweld), but for flinch especially it was the importance of dryfiring on moving targets and how your trigger hand should be for the trigger only and shouldn't be very involved in holding the rifle or pulling the rifle into the...

    Rigby visit last week

    A while ago I saw a post by Franz Davis, head of community at @RIGBY inviting members of AH who found themselves in London to visit the workshop, museum and range. Well I was going to be in London for a wedding, so I popped him a message and crossed my fingers the offer hadn’t expired...

    The Problem With A Globalisation

    You save for years, skimping and sacrificing. You book a flight to somewhere twenty thousand miles away. Jetlagged and discombobulated you go through immigration. The advertising billboards show Nike shoes and Channel perfume, the airport is the same concrete and glass of every other...

    Post-purchase engraving

    Has anyone ever taken a rifle they already owned to get engraved? I have a Chapuis double rifle with some rather early laser engraving, which unfortunately looks like early laser engraving. And, being a tinkerer of things I naturally enough thought "I like this, but it would be better if" which...

    It Ain’t Broke But I Can Fix It

    I’ve been a tinkerer my whole life. As a child that meant asking 'why' too much, then taking things apart and not being able to put them together. In the army that meant customising my belt kit and spending most of my salary on tailored or non-issue kit. As an adult that means looking at every...
