Wanted to know who here is a member of the rimfirecentral.com forum. I am asking because if I ask a question there, how many silhouette enthusiasts/experts/masters from this forum will see what I post there.

Maybe it is better to post in both areas so I can ensure my sources for information is broadcasted adequately.

Recommendations please.

I am registered on RC. I would be surprised if you got much in the way of meaningful responses there as far as Silhouette related posts.

There are a few, I emphasize few, Rimfire knowledgeable people on RC.

I'm a member there too.

I'm there as well.

Off the top of my head I've seen teetertotter, Doodaddy, ShootingStar, DaveABQ, and probably a few others that I can't think of at the moment. Dustin Flint even pops in over there on occasion.

I'm a member.


To SteveD's point, RFC is the largest rimfire community know of. That means it will come with the highest number of ignorant people and also likely the highest number of knowledgeable people. It's no different than with any topic when you have a group of people. I don't think the ratio of general knowledgeable people is any lower there than it is here. If speaking about knowledgeable in silhouette specific topics, then it will be higher in a specialized area like SteelChickens of course.

These online boards should be seen as tools and each have their purpose. Use the right tool for the right job. I don't read SteelChickens for accuracy discussions or the technical aspects of rimfire shooting. I don't read RimfireAccuracy for silhouette shooting technique or which 10/22 bolt handle is the lightest. RFC is most valuable about product knowledge. Have a question about a weird rifle? RFC probably has a section on it. What if you're curious about a new hunting scope? I wouldn't look to SteelChickens any more than I would TargetTalk.

Very well said Doodaddy!

I say Elect Doodaddy President!

I hate to burst your bubble, but I've got more than a few years before I reach the required age to be US President.

That's funny.

So, I guess I need to ask in both forums, which is fine until people start answering. Keeping the answers straight will be a challenge I guess.

Stay in the silhouette forum and you will get relatively well informed responses. Post questions in one of the dozens of others and maybe not so much.

i am a member there also. there is some good information on the site and there is some bad info too.

I am a member..........specific information regarding many topics ie ammo, rifles, barrels etc, Good.

specific to silhouette.........not so much

RFC is a good place to read about "how often to clean"

There are some useful nuggets about how to trouble shoot a broken firearm.

I guess just to be clear I am not a member her or over at Rimfire Central.

I answered your Anschutz 1416 dilemma question on record

For some reason on my phone steel chickens takes a while to load on 4g when other sites have no problem. I can read a whole thrEads while it just loads here, but on WiFi it works perfect. Oh well, it's usually at work anyway so I don't mind.

I have been a member of RFC for a while. I see a few names here.

My rifles do not shoot as well as some of those folks.

I think this morning I saw a 150 yard claim of .58" 5 shot group.

There are some Real folks that do know what they are talking about. I see them in the Anschutz and Remington forums.

Thanks to this site, I am going to Waterloo to shoot a Silhouette match this sunday.
