US Source for P11 Piccolo Air Cylinder??

I'm getting desperate. They must be somewhere to be found in the USA. Alternatively, what effect would putting a FWB compact air cylinder do to accuracy?

I know it is frustrating about having the firearms taken away. But even if you have them taken away for life, you love the sport, you can still compete with AP and AR. There is nothing in the world that will stop you from enter the world target shooting. Also IIRC firearms before 1900 are antiques,...

I am going to try and come to the Lobster Match in Maine in September. Now that you have time to practice will you shoot that one? Perhaps if you'll give me more details. :-) I found some info with a Google search. Hopefully I will have recovered my firearms, as opposed to air arms, from the police...

Rob.
More O2 it seems leading to aiming and trigger release. I'll practice with it for a while and see what happens.

I have a ten meter range in my living room, both in Japan, and here in Wyoming. Unfortunately in Japan, only Airsoft is legal. Husband doesn't complain at all, and buys me all the guns and ammo that I want. :-). What is wrong with these women??? Most Unitarian Universalists like my wife take the vi...

One Breath or Two Breath System

Barth and Dreilich have an excellent description of the two breath system in their Training Shooting Sports Rifle-Pistol book. Watching world cup on the ISSF Youtube channel, it looks like about 2/3 of the shooters use two breath or at last clearly use it. I just tried it and my score (groupings) ha...

Thanks. Can't make this weekend's match but plan to do the one in March. Will drive down the night before from Lyndonville, VT and stay with friends. Hope to meet you finally.

Woburn Club, MA 10 meter air pistol contact needed

My other laptop crashed about a month ago and whilst I did have it backed up, with all the moving around I've been doing I can't find the backup hard drive. :-( So could someone provide the contact infor for the Woburn Club in Bedford. Thanks in advance.

Good to be back

After a miserable divorce in which I was literally homeless for three months due to MA court stupidity, I'm relocated to my own manufactured home in Lyndonville VT. I even have a straight ten meters inside the house to practice on. :-) Would love to hear from any VT/NH 10meter air pistol shooters by...

Travel Through CT with Air Pisrol and Air Rifles

I can't get a definitive answer so I'll raise the issue here. CT considers bb guns and pellet guns powered by spring or air to be "dangerous weapons." I want to travel from Andover, MA to NY via CT to the Bridgeport--Port Jefferson Ferry to my brother's house in Suffolk County NY. I would ...

I too agree with many of the NRAs positions despite my more moderate stance, however I read about the NRA wanting to remove the restrictions on minors owning handguns somewhere (can't recall it at the moment) which is ridiculous to me. If you mean the NRA support of changing the law so those that a...

Re: Push Poll

Brian, First a couple of disclaimers. 1) There are a number of NRA positions I disagree with. 2) I really dislike the tone of the pronouncements by the NRA leadership. 3) And I understand that the presentation of facts rarely changes a person's mind; usually people use facts to support their precon...

Brian, I couldn't disagree more with what you have said. This country exists because of marksmanship skills and the founding fathers made certain with the 2nd Amendment that our govt. wouldn't try what the British tried back on April 19, 1775.

Dear Brian. I do not have any opinion concerning the situation, as I am not familiar with the details. USA Shooting was created because the IOC could no longer accept USOC letting NRA, an increasing political entity that has more and more commercial interests ties, being the official sanctioning bo...
