When it comes to hunting, your equipment matters a lot. When shopping for equipment, it is best to consider all the specifications of the device. In our opinion, one of the most important specifications would be eye relief. Why this matters – you might ask. The truth is that eye relief is crucial if you want to see a clear picture, and this will evidently impact your performance.
What Is Eye Relief and Why Does It Matter? Eye relief represents the distance at which you must hold your eyes behind the scope’s lenses, in order to see a comprehensive picture of the environment in front of you. As you slowly move your eyes towards the lens, the clarity of the picture will diminish – particularly around the edges. The same goes the other way around: when you take your eyes back too far, you won’t be able to distinguish a lot of details. Now, let’s say that the eye relief to your scope isn’t that long. And you use a high-caliber cartridge. In this scenario, the top of the riflescope is likely to hit your eyebrow in the event in which the rifle recoils. Therefore, inadequate eye relief can lead to such incidents. However, the truth is that the type of scope that is best for your eyes will depend on the weapon you use. And this makes sense. In fact, most hunters might not encounter troubles with short eye relief. In fact, short eye relief comes with some benefits as well. An important advantage would be the significant level of magnification options, better balance (since this means that the scope is closer to your body), a useful reticle – which can make the world of a difference, particularly at longer ranges. At the same time, another important advantage would be that you get to observe a clear image of what’s in front of you.
On the other hand, we have long eye relief. This is usually preferred when it comes to larger weapons – such as rifles. Nonetheless, you might get a long eye relief scope for a handgun as well. When it comes to rifles, we would classify anything that is beyond 4,5 inches as being long eye relief. Many hunters recognize that this is the preferable eye relief. As far as rifle scopes are concerned, this is oftentimes taken as a median. But if you are into long eye relief scopes, it’s essential to ensure that the eye remains always in line with the eye relief. Many hunters overlook this, which makes them experience a sizeable loss in clarity. This might also affect the amount of light that is delivered through the scope. As for the benefits of long eye relief, they are recommended particularly for handguns. Others also prefer them when using larger rifles that have a lower magnification. They are also more compatible with larger cartridges, not to mention that they allow you to rapidly load your weapon. How Do You Determine the Eye Relief? The truth is that the quality of the scope – be it a sniper scope or a rifle scope – is determined by a mix of elements, including eye relief. But eye relief isn’t the only thing that matters, as precision optics matters just as much, particularly if you are picky about the quality of the image. This is especially important for those that specialize in long-range shooting. Of course, it is not easy to get there: it requires a lot of discipline and work. But at the end of the day, it all comes down to learning what works best for you. Going back to determining eye relief, your age will play a part in the equation. For instance, the average eye tends to dilate up to 5mm in direct contact with a source of light. If you are younger, your eyes might dilate up to 8mm. On the other hand, if you are older, your eyes might dilate up to 4mm, or even lower in some cases. The difference is more or less felt depending on the quality of the lighting. This is why when there’s little light, the distinction will be more evident. It’s important to assess your limitations and your needs, as there’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all solution. We all have our own preferences when it comes to choosing a scope. And you should take the time to test and see what works best for you. What should you look for? Ideally, your priority should be aiming for a crystal clear, accurate image. You shouldn’t see any blurry lines on the sides of the image or any halos whatsoever. Eye Relief and Rifle Scopes The truth is that the issue of eye relief is quite subjective. A standard eye relief value on a rifle scope ranges between 3-3 ½ inches. For firearms that are used for yard hunting with light-kick, the industry standard should suffice. However, due to the increasing use of heavy-kicking rifles and extreme hunting ranges, the hunting world has been changed. If you were to use a standard rifle scope, a 6-inch eye relief would be considered long – by most hunters at the very least. Nevertheless, there are scopes that are particularly created as long eye relief scopes – the eye relief on these is higher than 6 inches. In this scenario, the rifles equipped with long eye relief aim at ensuring safe clearance during recoil. The Bottom Line On a final note, it might not seem like a lot of fun to learn the difference between distinct specs on your scope. But it is more important than you might assume, even if most hunters overlook this. Specs matter. And knowledge makes a difference. Essentially, knowing such details means that you are a well-informed user and buyer. Most importantly, getting the right scope will ensure that whenever you embark on a hunting adventure, you won’t have to worry about eye discomfort, or even worse – bleeding brows or other types of injuries. Being informed pays off!

MT2 Firing Range Services is leading the fight nationwide to protect police officers and other shooters from the hazards of lead poisoning at gun ranges. James M. Barthel, President of MT2 Firing Range Services (MT2) said: “We have a corporate initiative of annually supporting our brothers and sisters in blue. Our core vision and mission is to provide premier specialty environmental products and services with a higher purpose and MT2 personnel are passionate about cleaning and restoring our environment, protecting people from the hazards of lead, and in serving and protecting those who serve and protect us, whether in the military or in law enforcement.” Shooting ranges understand the importance of properly maintaining their range as it relates to lead and lead waste, but it is often difficult to obtain budget approval for vital activities needed for operating, maintaining and improving a law enforcement firing range. In a recent news story by the Indiana Daily Reporter titled: “Forfeitures provide police departments with extra funds”, they report that: “for cash and other assets taken from people who have been targeted in criminal investigations, law enforcement agencies are allowed to keep the valuables and use them as a revenue stream to supplement their budgets. Federal laws forbid the county to use any seized funds to supplant a county budget, so any forfeiture, literally, is bonus money.” Firing range improvements and equipment fall under this category and allow a Law Enforcement gun ranges across the country to use these funds for lead reclamation and maintenance. But in today’s business environment, there are critical considerations that must be understood when selecting a lead maintenance contractor because there are EPA and OSHA regulations that must be adhered to before, during, and after the project. MT2 has prepared a firing range industry report that provides all of the questions to consider before selecting a firing range services contractor to hire. MT2 has completed firing range clean-ups for these noted law enforcement agencies as well as dozens more: NYPD, Denver Police Department, Seattle Police Department, Phoenix Police Department, Austin Police Department, Riverside County Sheriff, Gwinnett County Firing Range Complex, Pendleton Police Department, Maryland Firearms Training Facility, Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Apopka Police Department, Markham Park, City of Kissimmee Firing Range, Winter Garden Police Department Orange County Sheriff’s Office, Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Delray Beach PD. MT2 has: while working closely with range owners to implement firing range Best Management Practices (BMPs) to protect shooters and the environment. “We are proud to serve and protect those in law enforcement and the military that serve and protect us,” stated James M. Barthel, MT2 CEO.

Related posts:from https://mt2.com/blog/firing-ranges/9556-firing-range-gun-events-weekly-roundup-september-26-2019/ If you are a new gun owner or just getting into shooting sports, you may be surprised to know that there are recreational shooting activities to fit every level of hobbyist. Recreational shooting offers gun owners both practical skills and hours of enjoyment. Finding a recreational shooting activity that you enjoy will ensure you frequently train with your firearm, sharpen skills, and develop muscle memory—all of which you want to do to become a well-rounded shooter. Perhaps one of the best benefits of recreational shooting is meeting and bonding with fellow firearm owners. Many of them will enthusiastically share their knowledge and breadth of experience with you.
International Defensive Shooting Pistol Association Some of the most fun but practical shooting events for people interested in the field of concealed carry handguns are matches sponsored by the International Defensive Shooting Pistol Association (IDPA). IDPA matches are sponsored across the U.S. at local gun ranges. IDPA matches offer functional training aimed at people who carry a gun for everyday use. There are IDPA matches for every level of shooter from novice to master. There are also divisions for practically any kind of concealed carry pistol, so long as it remains mostly stock. There are five divisions of IDPA shooting:
Required Equipment Since IDPA competition emphasizes handguns that are used for everyday carry, IDPA competition does not allow heavily customized weapons. Although some of the IDPA rules are flexible, ported barrels, weighted grips, magazine wells, tungsten guide rods, and other devices that would make your gun highly customized are not allowed. Again, the emphasis here is on everyday carry pistols. Semi-automatic pistols may be single action, double action, or Glock Safe Action™. 9mm is a popular cartridge among competitors and is the smallest caliber that can be used in semi-automatic pistols. However, larger calibers such as .40 S&W, 10mm, and .45 ACP are allowed, too, with there being very few restrictions on caliber. For those who favor wheel guns, revolvers have their own divisions too. A .38 special is the minimum cartridge allowed, but those with more powerful calibers such as the .357 magnum, .41 magnum, and .44 magnum are also allowed. If you are new to IDPA shooting, in addition to a reliable handgun, you’ll also want to get a good and reliable holster. An interesting thing about IDPA shooting is that, since it emphasizes practical shooting, both inside the waistband (IWB) and outside the waistband (OWB) holsters are permitted. In other words, you are encouraged to wear a holster that you would use for everyday concealed carry, such as a sturdy Kydex holster. Competition IDPA matches utilize different scenarios for each match and are scored based on accuracy and time. The time allowed for each match depends on your level, with the novice level being allowed the most time and the master level being allowed the least amount of time. IDPA stages might include shooting from a seated position, shooting from a vehicle, shooting from a kneeling position, or shooting from behind cover. The possibilities are endless, and that’s part of the fun. You never really know exactly what your stage will look like until you show up and walk through the course. 3-Gun Shooting Another practical, but fun, recreational shooting event is 3-gun shooting. As the name suggests, 3-gun shooting consists of three shooting events that include pistol, shotgun, and rifle. If you have a competitive edge, are looking for a challenge, and want to become proficient with three different classes of firearms, then 3-gun shooting might be for you. The 3-gun event can accommodate any level of shooter, from the novice shooter to the expert. Required Equipment Since 3-gun also emphasizes practicality, tactical-type weapons are utilized in this type of competition. This usually means rifles or carbines that are chambered in .223 with 18-20 inch barrels and 30 round magazines. Pistols are usually of the semiautomatic variety, with 9mm being a popular caliber, but also .40 S&W, .45 ACP, and .357 SIG are seen, among others. Again, you’ll want to have a reliable holster and magazine pouches to ensure your stage goes smoothly. Most competitors use shotguns that are pump-action or autoloading with a variety of chokes and loads. Both slugs and shotshells are authorized for 3-gun competition. Competition The divisions in 3-gun make it well-suited for practically any level of shooter. You may compete in the entry-level Limited Division, the more advanced Tactical Division, or the expert level divisions such as Heavy Metal, Open, or Outlaw Open. The best benefit of 3-gun is becoming a well-rounded shooter in each of the three different types of firearms that one might use in a defensive situation. However, the atmosphere is one of competition and fun that will only serve to improve your skills. Similar to IDPA, 3-gun competition courses vary widely. Some may include clay pigeons, steel and cardboard targets, pop up targets, and anything else that the match organizers may choose to include. Targets can be anywhere from 1 yard out to 500 yards. Whatever the course, you’re sure to find it far more exciting than your average day at the range. Bowling Pin Shooting We’ve covered two of the more practical types of recreational shooting, but if you’re looking for something more light-hearted and fun, then perhaps bowling pin shooting is more your speed. Bowling pin shooting consists of using a firearm to knock bowling pins off a table. Required Equipment Although traditionally higher caliber handguns are used (to ensure the bowling pin is knocked off the table), some competitions allow .22 LRs, pistols, shotguns, or rifles/carbines. A typical bowling pin competition still consists of handguns chambered in large calibers such as .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, and 10 mm, since these have the power to effectively knock bowling pins off the competition table. However, if using a large caliber handgun is a bit intimidating to the beginner, some competitions allow the use of handguns with calibers as small as .22 LR or 9mm. In these competitions, the goal is usually to simply knock the bowling pin over, rather than completely clear it from the table. Still, other competitions allow for the use of a shotgun or rifle to clear the bowling pins. Competition Depending on the type of competition, different classes of firearms and calibers may be used to achieve your goal. A standard bowling pin setup consists of either five pins placed on a waist-high table three feet from the rear of the table or three pins on a waist-high table with two pins on a second shelf placed above the table. The goal is to knock over or clear the table of all the pins and to do so as quickly as possible. Final Thoughts Whether you decide to try your hand at IDPA style shooting, 3-gun, or bowling pin shooting, you’re sure to find an event that will test your skill, accuracy under pressure, and competitiveness—all of which will contribute to you becoming a better, more knowledgeable shooter. Range owners and managers looking to provide these types of events should also ensure that their range is safe for all shooters. You Operate a Firing Range. We Get the Lead Out!

The post Firing Range Gun Events Weekly Roundup September 5, 2019 appeared first on MT2.com | Firing Range Services | Gun Range Cleaning | Lead Reclamation | Environmental Remediation. Related posts:from https://mt2.com/blog/firing-ranges/9400-firing-range-gun-events-weekly-roundup-september-5-2019/ Hiring a contractor can be daunting, many do not know where to start. However, when hiring a contractor for either construction or lead maintenance on firing ranges, it is even more important to hire a qualified professional. Due to the strict regulations, and potential hazards associated with working around lead, having a professional on your side could save a substantial amount of money; both now and potentially in the future if/when proper local, state or federal guidelines are not followed for handling your range lead waste. How Lead Removal Can Benefit Firing Ranges Due to the hazardous nature of lead and lead dust, removal of lead should be a priority for all range owners and managers. Here are a few benefits for firing ranges from properly handling their lead waste:
According to InfoMine, prices for lead fluctuate through the year. Proper lead removal may generate a little extra income for range owners who would otherwise have to pay the full amount for potentially costly disposal efforts. Lead cannot be shipped to a landfill like other materials; the special handling it requires is usually costly and requires a high level of specific documentation to be ready at all times to show the EPA that you properly disposed of your lead impacted waste. However, recycling lead may be an avenue to offset these costs. With the correct information, ranges have a great opportunity to create safe, clean ranges without breaking the bank. Ranges produce a phenomenal amount of lead waste; the U.S. Geological Survey estimates that individual ranges can produce anywhere between 1.5 tons and 20 tons of lead shot and bullets every year. Depending on how much traffic your range receives, this can quickly add up to a significant amount! Today, lead waste is a major issue for firing ranges, court cases such as Connecticut Coastal Fishermen’s Association v. Remington Arms set legal precedent regarding lead as hazardous waste. Lead is one of the biggest challenges firing ranges face and industry groups like the NRA and the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) have worked diligently to promote lead recycling, remediation and reclamation. The NSSF has published a great article series on lead management for firing ranges and if you read the EPA’s Best Management Practices for lead at outdoor firing ranges, additionally you will see that the NRA also collaborated extensively with the EPA to ensure the industry takes a positive and proactive approach to reducing lead exposure such as their NIOSH Alert “Preventing Occupational Exposure to Lead and Noise at Indoor Firing Ranges.” There is no question as to the damaging results of lead poisoning. The harm to humans has been documented and validated. Hiring the right firing range construction designer is just the beginning of a firing range’s long-term lead management planning strategy. Making sure a gun club or firing range assigns a dedicated team to oversee policies and compliance is one solution to avoiding costly litigation and clean up liability down the road. The fines for violating OSHA’s regulations are steep as the case of Higher Ground Tactical, LLC shows. It’s not just private ranges that have issues of liability. In the case of the U.S. Border Patrol they were found liable for a 3.7 million dollar lead remediation project. Recycling and reclamation of lead from firing ranges means finding reputable companies that know the laws and follow the rules. Don’t get duped by shady players as was the case with Welch Environmental Group who was indicted by the EPA and closed its business due to the high level of fines imposed for committing willful and serious violations. When ranges pay for proper removal from a certified lead reclamation team — it’s a win-win solution! Things to Consider When Selecting A Lead Maintenance Contractor Due to the many regulations surrounding firing ranges, and the recent news coverage of several ranges out of compliance, the potential cost of hiring a contractor who does not live up to expectations is well worth finding a professional, experienced company to do the job. Experienced contractors should be able to provide:
Regardless of whether you are constructing a new facility or reclaiming lead from an existing one, choosing the correct contractor could save you massive amounts of money and headaches. How to Hire the Right Firing Range Construction Contractor What factors must you consider when contracting with a firing range design and construction team? There are eight minimum areas to focus on that will help ensure your new firing range is successful and remains in operation for generations to come.
The firearms industry faces many challenges regarding lead exposure. Hire the right team, appoint the best people to implement compliance policies and stay up to speed on lead management industry training programs. When the time comes for those unannounced inspections you should feel confident you have no violations.
