......and this blade type will allow you to lock open the bolt quickly also! much smoother round transfer into the loading gate! When reloading with a 10/22 in the majority of the Gallery Rifle disciplines, right handed shooters will also generally pull the rifle into the side of the body and support it in the same way as they would with an underlever so that the rifle is “controlled” with the left hand and the action is “worked” (drop the magazine & lock open the action if needed) with the right! Adding a speed release lever of some description to your trigger unit will help produce a more efficient reload and there are two types of lever readily available. The first type sweeps backwards underneath the whole length of the trigger unit and the magazine is released by simply extending one digit forward. This type however does not allow you to lock open the bolt as well meaning that you will waste a bit of time hunting around trying to find the bolt release lever. The straight blade type ones drop the magazine when pushed forward and allows you to lock back the bolt by pulling both it and the lever rearwards in one sweeping action making it a very fast and easy motion saving you some valuable seconds in time. It does mean that you have to take your hand off the grip though to drop the magazine out so some people have modified them so that the lever extends under the trigger guard giving them the advantages of both designs, and are well worth fitting to your rifle! “working” the action and reloading with the right hand can produce a very slick reload! I always make sure that my magazines are placed in my holders in such a way that the bullet is always at the end of the magazine nearest to where my index finger will be when I take them out of the holder. I use the recess on the bottom front edge of my Ruger mags as a reference point for my index finger so that I achieve a consistent grip on them every time, and canting the rifle slightly ensures that only a small rotation of the wrist is needed to transfer the magazine from the holder to the mag well. Carrying an adequate supply of ammunition at all times during a competition and holding it in the correct place for each type of reload that is needed will help you perform to your potential and improve your all round marksmanship skills. Make sure that you take the time to practice your reloading drills with empty magazines or dummy (no powder/ primer) centrefire rounds in every shooting position and this will help you to be both smoother and more proficient on the range. This in turn will give you more time to actually fire each shot as well as helping you to keep calm and focussed if you ever have a malfunction or are under tight time restraints during a stage. Next month I’ll cover some of the pre match preperations you should be thinking about, along with some tips on how to shoot some of the “Shorts” matches! Left handers however may find that when shooting a 10/22 from the strong shoulder, as the bolt handle is on the right hand side of the action it is much easier to keep the rifle held in the left hand whilst sandwiching the butt against the left hip.
