Why can't they be different?

From what little I know about the ISSF my guess is they have already decided that its going to be 25m Sport and the 'vote' is window dressing.

Agree. They will announce the decision by stating "After consulting the athletes..."

All this is rather over complicated when you can screw the Steyr Adaptor directly into the DIN thread of the SCUBA tank.

It's worked for me for the last 30ish years!

1978: Seoul South Korea hosted the ISSF World Champs that year.

1979: Mexcio City World Cup (or whatever they were called prior to being World Cups) last hosted there in early 1990s

100% Agree!

... and for pity's sake make them available to both sexes to compete in. This subject of mixed events has been done to death. Equal outcome is the stated goal, not equal opportunity. If you make the events mixed, men will win more medals than women and that doesn't fit the plan. The plan is equal n...

Pardini all day long. No-one at the top level of RF is using a Morini.

Pardini reliability is second to none. Mine is 19 years old and still going well.

Thanks Bob.

Odd question, but does anyone know what/where the range used for the 1998 world champs 300m in Barcelona was?

They still haven't learned I'm "just foolin'".

Rover, your posts are the reason I keep coming back!

I'm 19 years too!

I have ordered from them about 8 years ago. The quality is probably not quite as good as genuine Steyr cylinders but still, very good and they are still working well with no problems or leaks.

I'm in New Zealand, so can't comment on shipping to USA but mine arrived here without any problems.

The striker (the part with the pin the protrudes out the back of the bolt when cocked) needs to be de-cocked (at the bottom of the cam) to re-assemble. Once there just push & turn the front section to re-assemble and cock the bolt in one movement.

100% agree. Also its pushed by the clothing manufacturers because it equals $$$!

Too bad.

What other sport(s) have a final that is a different format/scoring system to qualification?

Just saw this in an ISSF newsletter: "Gerardo Trotta Arnone, chair of the ISSF Pistol Committee, told ISSF: “Some of the topics discussed could be important for the future of our sport, such as presenting results in a more friendly way for a better understanding and more exciting final competit...

So, is there a list of rules that are OK to ignore? Just asking...

RF is a event were you find out that you suck very fast. It takes a lot of practice to get ok at it, and a lot more to be good. Excellent is another level altogether... Most people egos can't cope with it. It also demands a lot of ammo, making it the more expensive of the 25m ISSF disciplines in th...

Try Potter Firearms for Morini (or Rink).

The annoying thing is that the Xring, does not coincide with 10.5 (Correct me if I'm wrong).

I also approve of the beer idea!

No
