Michael:
Thanks for your mailings. I wander were can I find some layouts for 10 m 25
m and 50 m for pistol and rifle ranges to be used for small clubs in Panama
and if possible to be sent by E.Mail.
Best regards
Marcos G. 

[Editor - I have the U.S. NRA Range Manual which has some blueprints but
they are fairly generic, of course. I think a lot would depend upon the
government ordinances, which would dictate safety features (eg, baffles)
and environmental features (eg, traps, ventilation, etc).]

		I contacted you last year about my son Aaron Holder
junior scores and how to move to the next step in 3-position rifle.
Since that time we have moved to JORC and NRA Junior rifle. His scores
are in the 515 to 520 on the USA target and he is only 12 years old.
Thanks for the direction.
		
		My question is how do I adjust his 1912 Anschutz butt
plate for prone, kneeling and standing. Should  it be even with the top
of the adjustable comb for prone and kneeling and all the way down for
standing. Is the key to have the head erect and not pushed forward, with
the eye even with the sights. If you can suggest some general ideas that
will help. Your mailing list has been great for information, we have
learned a lot this year.

[Editor - I have already replied to Jommy with some general direction, but
hope others would contribute their observations as well.]

In my experience, you can mount a scope on the barrel blocks without
any loss of accuracy.  You may find that you have to move the blocks
in order to get proper eye relief with a barrel-mount scope.

A bigger problem than the absolute accuracy of the rifle, however, is
the way it is going to handle with a barrel-mount scope as compared
to a receiver-mount scope or iron sights.  I use a 20X Redfield 3200 on
my Anschutz 1413, and (at least in the standing position) it turns
a nicely balanced rifle into a beast.  The weight is shifted far
forward and the rifle is much more fatiguing to hold.  This is true
in the kneeling position also, but to a lesser degree.  If you are 
going to be shooting outdoors and waiting out wind, this can be a real
problem.  If you only shoot prone, then the 3200 is great.  If you
plan to shoot position, pay the extra money for a receiver-mount.
Just my opinion, of course.

Tom
