scoping

There appears a lot of disagreement on this topic. I last shot FP in 1970 and remember mystruggles since then. AP carries on now while the processing continues for a FP licence. And AP doesn't require a scoping regime if you can pull the target. But the same principle applies. I like the idea when I...

scoping

What do you people regard as a practical scoping routine of your target? The pros and cons of scoping are abvious to everybody I'm sure but given the ying and yang of scoping too much and therefore concentrating on target results and scoping never in the attempt to train the mind to only mind the fo...

buying SH overseas

Hi J-team, I didn't get a message from you at all, but thanks for the opinion about the IZH. I think if I was to buy any crank gun this one is at least available in NZ and has agents here. Also it cranks from underneath unlike the FWB which I have now definitely gone beyond

buying SH overseas

Hi Pauln,I looked at the IZH but I think cranking that thing 60-70 times in 90 minutes in a match could be tiring, yeah, but the main risk could be yanking the gun around so it is no longer pointing down range. In other words, there is a chance of being disqualified in a match. Same risk with any cr...

homemade suburban rifle range

This topic spins old wheels for me. Does anyone know of this application to free pistol? I have a range available but modifications such as buffers will cost and I have wondered if the 6 feet of concrete pipe is a practical solution considering you have to stand up and the pipe therefore has to be s...

Buying SH overseas

Hello and this is my first post here. I have gotten back into ISSF shooting after 40 years absence and find it a very different world. A world of daunting rules and regulations (mostly I suspect since 9/11); and a world of contacts and shared info thanks to the internet (mainly over the teacup chat,...
