The Richard Utting Blog - October Edition
A very busy few weeks of late with lots of Ballistics training day guys bringing all sorts of interesting rifles along.
Most interesting on the accessories front has been the new tripod from Vanguard.
With more and more folks, myself very much included, using tripods with ARCA ball heads to shoot their rifles off a quality tripod is essential. Doubly so for me as my spotting scope also fits on the ARCA tripod

The Richard Utting Blog - June Edition
Lately, the weather has turned hot and I’ve been doing a lot to the mile and beyond. Increasingly, people are keen to have a go at the mile and after some training and calibration of their ballistics, more and more people have the rifles to do it nowadays. The half MOA at 1209 is very doable these days and minute at a mile is just a matter of a slightly larger gun. The modern bullets are leaps and bounds better than a decade ago and, with kit like the new Garmin Foretrex 901 for under $600 with full drag modelling through the transonic, it is quite possible for first shot hits to be achieved.
