Just out of curiosity, what is the rational for not allowing spotting scopes in
10 meter air events?

Fantastic Shooting...

Over at the BenelliUSA site http://www.benelliusa.com/ they have
a video of a gentleman throwing up 10 clay targets in one hand
and then blowing them *all* away before they hit the ground!

Wow.

My hearing aids have built in "sharp/loud" noise control. I am always
suprised at how loud the AP (LP10) is when fired and I am not
wearing the hearing aids ( and I do need to wear hearing aids...)

I am strongly left eye dominant, I first started shooting right handed but never felt very comfortable. The pistol grip always had a gap along the heel of my hand which lead to a bit of unsteadyness. I injured my right hand and eventually had to have surgery. I decided to try lefthanded for a while ...

Re: Jerry

Way to go Jerry. Good to hear you're still struggling like the rest of us/me! Just using the LP10 now? What did you do with your K2? Rod Canada Hi Rod, I sold the rascal and traded the Morini for a "backup" lp10. Last I heard from you I thought you said that you had switched back to right...

A Pilgrims (slow) Progress...

About 2.5 years ago I had to switch to shooting my lp10 left handed due to some physical and "emotional" problems. ( I started having problems hitting the target! and I have an extremely dominant left eye.) I have recently noticed that when I am doing my pushups my right arm gives out befo...

What about out in the countryside?

In my minds eye I think of Australia and Canada of having vast undeveloped areas containing a great variety of life that can be a danger to human and domestic animals... It would be difficult to participate in competitions if you are several hundred miles away from any population centers. Are the re...

I enjoy AP because 1) For about 40-50 minutes I can "lock out" my real world problems. 2) It only takes a minute to set up at home and about as long to shut down. 3) I am in my "late mid sixties" and can still enjoy the activity. 4) There is something about the simplicity of the ...

At one time I had a Morini, I left a filled cylinder on for a little bit longer than a month...When I went back to the Morini, I found the cylinder empty. I suspect a leak through a regulator is quite possible, normally one would not need long time retention in the regulator system for an AP... Jerry
