T/C’s newest rifle

From Jim Shepherd…

If you get a rifle with an adjustable trigger, free-floated barrel, 5R rifling, pre-threaded barrel and a quick-throw 60-degree bolt that’s available in a variety of calibers, you’ve opened the proverbial floodgates for possible purchases. Most of those prices quickly move from affordable to “I’ve been saving a while for this one, so it better perform.”

Factor in a guaranteed minute-of-angle accuracy and you’ve done two things: narrowed the field (considerably) and pointed out that it’s a great time to be a shooter or hunter. Now, put the MSRP of that rifle – in that variety of calibers- at $399 and watch the field shrink.

For the past few days, I’ve been in South Dakota testing a new rifle that looks to be the next serious contender for the rifle you want- and can afford. It’s Thompson/Center’s new Compass, and I’ve been experimenting in prairie dog pastures with the rifle in a variety of calibers, from .204 Ruger through the proven varmint-busting 22-250.

There’s not much better way to prove a varmint rifle than shooting varmints. Above, fellow shooters Joe Ferronato and Tom McHale test T/C Compass’s in .204 Ruger and 22-250. As you can see (below), the rifle is not heavily decorated, but the poly stock has a good texture and sits comfortably in a shooting position.

In each instance, the rifle has performed. And performed at distances from normal to ridiculous. Normal, meaning ranges inside which virtually any hunter would be comfortable drawing a bead on an animal. Ridiculous is taking- and making- 403 yard shots at prairie dogs. Read more

MI DNR shooting ranges improve to keep pace with target shooting trends

Julee Hasbany takes aim on a pistol range at the Michigan Department of Natural Resources’ Rose Lake shooting range in Clinton County.

GW:  Always a pet peeve of mine when anyone unprepared at the range had to hold up the entire show to go downrange.  Duh!  Way to go Michigan DNR!

It used to be that to check the precision of your aim when practicing at a shooting range, you had to walk downrange and look at your target. Today – there’s a Smartphone application for that.

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources has introduced Bullseye Camera Systems at all five of its staffed shooting ranges – at Dansville (Ingham County), Ortonville (Lapeer County), Pontiac Lake (Oakland County), Rose Lake (Clinton County) and Sharonville (Jackson County).Julee Hasbany takes aim on a pistol range at the Michigan Department of Natural Resources’ Rose Lake shooting range in Clinton County.

“These cameras give you the ability to track your shots right from your Smartphone, tablet or laptop, with a free app downloaded to your device and a connection to the camera’s Wi-Fi signal,” said Charlie Brauer, who runs the DNR’s Ortonville Shooting Range and who had the idea to install the cameras at the end of the ranges’ long-range shooting stations.

TAR Podium Bipod


Bullpup rifles like the IWI Tavor TAR-21, are popular on the international scene, and in recent years have been gaining popularity in the U.S. Further, this trend gives all appearances of continuing. Designed to be compact for CQB fighting, but incorporate the longer barrel to maintain accuracy, it looks different from the AR15 platform we are used to seeing. Like any weapon platform, stability when shooting prone, or off any surface is of utmost importance. The battle-tested engineers at FAB Defense solved this problem with the creation of the TAR Podium quick deployment bipod. With the push of a button, it allows the shooter to instantly transition to a bipod for maximum stability.The bipod replaces the grip cap and attaches with a single screw, without interfering with gripping the weapon. The sleek design is compact and does not have any protruding parts that could get caught on gear or clothing. The bipod is rapidly deployed with the simple push of a button giving the shooter stability at the moment it’s needed. Read more
